Being a newbe I would like to know the meaning of dcmts.

In CloneDVD I noticed chapters almost identical to the ones without dcmts
but what do I need to select from this 7+GB DVD when copying it with maximum quality, minimum extra's, only menus).

dcmts = see chapter 2,3 and 5 and 11

TIA

What dvd are you referring to? You gave alot of vague specifics to go on? Also you didn't mean the burner and firmware and O/S your using??

When importing a DVD (e.g. fm HD), select copy titles, next, select the folder where .vob-files on the HD are located, I get a list of chapters, playingtime etc.

At some chapters 'dcmts.1' is mentioned.

Just wonder what it means.

Reason for asking is that I want to skip all the 'extras' and just get the
movie (episodes) so they fit on the DVD5.

==

You do know that even with all the boxes checked CloneDVD from slysoft will compress the dvd9 onto a dvd5 media???? I know I used this feature alot to save time and money from spending on DL media purchases...

My idea is to get max. quality and remove all extras and extra languages... (i think dcmts maybe has something to do with dicrectors cut ... or something)

You can always go and buy Verbatmin DL media....it cost a little more but keeps everything and plus less headache in trying to figure out what to check and what to uncheck......

i think its directors comments

Regret, DL is not an option. It requires a DL writer (need to buy it and I will only on a very rare occassion) and my DVD-player in the living room doesnot read DL's...
Normally I split the film using DVDFab (DVD9-2x DVD5). This DVD consisting of extras, episodes, promotional films.. one way or the other, the splitted DVD5's did not load. This is the one and only time I encountered this problem.
That aside I use DVD+RW's only, which is really going fine. There are no
RW-versions of DL's as far as I know.

Anyway, I used CloneDVD2 now and skipped promotional stuff, languanges and subtitles, and extra's and the rest has been shrunk ot 72% and fit on a DVD5.

It seems to work now.

Really what kinda standalone player do you have? Did you know the movie dvds you watch are dvd9 aka DL media??? Well you might want to in the future invest in a DL burner as they are inexpensive nowdays and most likely have newer firmware for media compatiblity...

i see this is 2 weeks old but...
no need to use DL media if the content you want to burn fits onto a DVD-5!
i used to do this lots before i got a dl burner...movie's at 90% compression w/o extras, special features, etc

i'm assuming you figured out dcmts was the director's comments but if you're not sure about that sorta stuff just use PowerDVD to watch the movie on your PC and figure out which titles/audio tracks you want to keep.
http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=5033 see paragraph 3

another option for "splitting" the DVD-9 onto two DVD-5's is to use the preserve menu function and then select half the episodes to go on the first disc and half to go on the second.

i always preserve menu
copy DVD titles (top button on cloneDVD) defaults to not preserve
clone DVD (middle button) defaults to preserve

mrwul i assume you mean it won't read burned DL's
if so perhaps those DL's you tried weren't booktyped to dvd-rom...?

Thank you for the feedback.
See attachment for details of the DVD. There are 4 episodes on 1 DVD.

For me it is a bit difficult/confusing to sort out which titles I need to tag and which not. There are also some promotional recordings on the DVD of other
movies... That stuff I did not want.
One way or the other (regretfully I forgot) I managed to burn a DVD5 without this promotional stuff.

@mrwul

it really appears that there are 3 espisodes (titles 1, 4, 10) and 3 of the same episodes w/ director's comments (titles 3, 5, 11).

obviously you can play this in a standalone DVD player and figure this out.
you can also use the preview window that's in cloneDVD to see each title. (just highlight a title and press the play button) no audio plays though so that why using powerDVD (as mentioned before) is the best for figuring out what's on each title...aswell as what on each audio track.

so assuming there are 3 episodes and 3 director's comments...
i would burn one DVD-5 with titles 1, 4, 10 selected (preserve menu)
and burn on DVD-5 with titles 3, 5, 11 (preserve menu)

this is all just a guess though...you really need to find out whats on each title using one of the previously mentioned methods
