Did anyone else test this somewhat convoluted approach?
1. Place US region 1 Disney Valiant DVD into your DVD reader.
2. Use DVD Decrypter3.5.4.0 to rip all files to your hard disk.
3. Use the very latest DVD Fab Decrypter 2.9.6.8 to re-rip.
4. Use jeanldvd's FixVTS 1.23 to remove unreferenced cells.
5. Use DVD Shrink 3.2 to author just the main 3.5 GB Title 1.
This worked for me but I suspect step 2 & 3 are redundant. I only ran
DVD Fab Decrypter on the DVD Decrypter ripped files because DVD Fab
Decrypter was purported to allow DVD Shrink 3.2 to see the main movie
title - but it didn't do anything of the sort.
Likewise, I had run VOB Blanker after the DVD Decrypter step 2, but,
by default anyway, without any manual intervention, VOB Blanker also
failed to ensure a good result for DVD Shrink to see the main movie
title.
Thankfully,Mark Burns' suggested fix video title set program removed
unreferenced and blank cells in place so that DVD Shrink could finally
read the main title 1 of the movie. Now, I no longer must suffer
through those interminable trailers every time my child watches the
movie I bought but which forces video spam onto my child.
Software references are as follows.

If anyone has an idea WHY DVD Fab Decrypter & VOB Blanker failed us,
let us know as they are purported to work elsewhere.
