The wierd thing is I used this a few times well the final version to process a dvd and was running anydvd with it without an issue?
Certainly quite a few people do I'm sure. As long as you remember it's a beta and it does contain some bugs. But, it really depends on what you want to use it for. I like it for blanking titles that CloneDVD can't touch, for instance. In that instance, there's no reason I can't rip with CloneDVD to remove the majority of the crap, and then use VobBlanker on that to remove the rest before I compress. It's all about using the right tool for the job. Hence I want my toolbox full.
The nice thing about VOBBlanker is that it can get at and eradicate screens and titles buried in menus and vts files that:
a. DVDShrink cannot get at unless you are willing to go into re-author mode and scrub them via "start and end frames", forcing you to sacrifice menus
b. CloneDVD2 cannot get at if it is something that is part of a title you want part of, but want to blow away part of, since CloneDVD2 can't get at individual frames for deleting purposes.
DVDShrink is the answer 99% of the time - unless I want to preserve menus in re-author mode - the only real strength CloneDVD2 offers over DVDShrink (along with simplicity for those folks who do not want to invest the time to become familiar with the power of DVDShrink)!
I really can't explain that one.
