Step 2: Processing the DVD files using DVD2OneX


  1. Launch DVD2OneX and select the "Source:" directory in the top window. This is the "VIDEO_TS" folder you will have on your HDD. The "Output:" should be DVD±R(W) so it will fit onto a single sided blank DVD. "Copy mode:" should be the Movie only, unless you want the whole disk, in which case select Diskcopy. However, using Diskcopy you will get all options available on the disk (special features, all subtitles etc., although you still have to select the audio options) and the quality of the movie may suffer if you have to compress it.
  2. The window will show the available titles and a drawer will open showing the available audio tracks, subtitles and angles. In the title list select the title that contains the main feature (usually the one with the most chapters).
  3. From the drawer:
    1. select the audio tracks to include in your copy. It is recommended to include only those audio tracks you really need, like the English audio for example. If there are two English audio tracks only choose the first one because the second one will be the directors commentary or some such.
    2. do not select any of the subtitles unless it is a foreign movie (e.g. Das Boot, La Haine) or a mixed language movie that makes use of subtitles for specific parts of the movie (e.g. Once Upon a Time in Mexico, The Last Samurai). For the foreign language movies you will want to select English subtitles. In the case of mixed language movies there will be two or more subtitle options in English, usually the last one is the one you want where the subtitles are only written in the parts where the actors speak in a foreign language and certainly not the first option (also with the most number of subtitle sets in all the different languages) where English subtitles will be shown throughout the movie.
    3. select the angle you want to keep (often there isn’t a choice), but if there is, the first one is the one you want. This feature is mostly used by studio's to display texts and credits in different languages according to match the audio language you have chosen. For instance on Star Wars it is used for the 3D scrolling intro text.
  4. Once you are happy with the options you have selected, click the Start button. At this point you will be asked to select the destination directory. Choose make a "VIDEO_TS" folder and save it into a different directory to the one you made using Backup 1.3, otherwise it will overwrite it. The files will be processed and saved to your HD ready to be burnt onto a blank DVD. You can also check this VIDEO_TS folder by launching DVD Player and choosing File/Open VIDEO_TS Folder. What you see is how it will look once you have burnt it onto DVD. If there is anything wrong then now is the time to go back and reprocess the DVD. This is particularly important in the case of a mixed language DVD where you may have processed the wrong subtitle set.
