VobBlanker is a tool able to blank, replace, cut and strip titles, more specifically, program chains.

From release VobBlanker is able to work (blank, preview, delete..) also in menu domain.

A DVD is composed by several Video Title Sets (VTS), and each one can contain one or more Program Chains (PGCs).

A VTS is a collection of Titles, which are composed by one or more PGC. One Program Chain can be an entry (the first PGC of a title) or not in the DVD title list.

All PGCs of a VTS must have the same video attributes

One PGC is composed by Cells, (the minimum playable item). In fact, a PGC is a sequence of Cells.

One cell can be used in one or more PGCs (shared cells)

How VobBlanker works
VobBlanker needs a FILE mode, unencrypted backup of the DVD to be processed. This backup can be done using a ripper in FILE mode or mounting in a virtual drive an unencrypted DVD image. VobBlanker uses the info stored in the IFOs to access the Cells inside the VOBs.

When the VIDEO_TS.IFO file is selected, VobBlanker reads automatically all the IFOs in the same folder and stores in memory all the required info.

Now, the user is allowed to configure how the DVD is going to be processed, which PGCs are going to be blanked, etc. The user has to select the output folder where the processed DVD will be stored.

Project settings can be saved/loaded from Menu.

VobBlanker will NOT modify any file of the input folder. It opens these files for reading.

TIP: Using different physical drives in input and output folder will increase a lot the processing performance
