For those complaining about layer change pause... good dvd players have buffers that eliminate this pause. For example..i have a denon 2910 and this has a buffer that reads ahead and eliminates this pause.....

Also, VQ should be rippers #1 priority, so thank you replica for providing an untouched video

i believe they used dvd-rebuilder to create this release.. o'well

i just applied those settings to remove the breaks.. still a bit scared to burn it as of yet.. anyone else try the fix, what were the results?

Thank goodness it was a layer break at 2mins15 as I thought I'd made an error during extraction. Though exactly how a single-layer disc can have any layer-break let alone several is a mystery to me? That probably explains the slight ghosting about half way through the movie as well. The trouble with the first break is that my surround amp cut out momentarilly which is much more annoying.

Aside from the that the transfer was good. I can't believe a single channel commentayr would have taken-up that much more space. I'm not into zombie flicks as a rule but this one compares with the best of mainstream movies. Dialogue was muffled at neighbour-friendly sound levels and the subtitles almost filled what little there was of the letterboxed picture area but those are problems of the original, not of the transfer.

7/7/7

right get pgcedit as it is easier, you will need to mount and rip or extract with isobuster first to get your video_ts folder. open pgc edit and select the video_ts folder and then pgcedit will scan it. let it run through then after it is finished find the pgc with the longest run time (which is the movie) then double click it. you will see subtitle colours on the bottom left of the new box which comes up (you can change sub colours here if you like, i prefer yellow with black outline) then to the right of that you will see chapter points etc. there should be a colomn for layer breaks with check boxes. you can uncheck the first as you need that to stay as it is (i forget why though) then go through and uncheck the other boxes that are checked (should be 4) then press ok and go to file and save dvd. you can either create another image with imgtool classic or burn with imgtool burn.

Followed those instructions to the letter. It worked perfect first time. On top of that by accepting the recommendations when the file was first scanned, PGCEdit removed all the dead links from the menu screens. It was so quick and easy that at first I thought I must have made a mistake. The layer breaks are now gone, the sound dropouts are gone and the dead links are gone. Incidentally I preferred soft gray subtitles for this particular movie as the white ones are far too bright.

IFOedit didn't work, DVD Shrink didn't work so don't waste your time with those.
