Whenever I copy a DVD I usually use "Customize" mode and I do have the "Remove annoying PGC's (like FBI warnings)" option checked ever since I started using DVDFab...but it never worked! That is until v6.0.7.0. This version (and everyone after it) seemed to be the magic number(s) for it to start removing the PGC's (not all the time but most of the time) as well as having the disc starting at the main menu when the disc is loaded. (Another option I have checked) So I guess for these features to work, it will depend on different factors. (What version of Fab you use, how the DVD is authored, etc.)

It does work, but has complex rules (to prevent removing playable content) that let some of them slip through. There are details in the Tutorial, (scroll to bottom of page).
I usually ripp the DVD i Customize mode and as DVD9 to DVD folder on the harddrive
and then use PgcEdit to remove stuff that DVDFab could not remove.
And after that I use DVDFab on the ripped cleaned files and compress them
I, too, have not had much success in having them removed and then successfully playing with VLC. Sometimes they wouldn't remove and many times the resulting rip wouldn't play with VLC. I have just started with pgcedit and have found this annoyance typically in the sequence associated with main menu. I "kill playback" using pgcedit and customize navigation using pgcedit and find it worthwhile to learn (the learning curve was very big for me not knowing about these things before).
Also I was burning with free 3rd party apps then on recommendations from this forum started using imgburn and haven't had a problem with a disc playing since.
If you can't rid your final rip of annoyances I encourage you to look into pgcedit.
If they have made the warnings part of the main movie title, you cannot.
You can if it's a separate CELL with PgcEdit, if NOT a separate cell then I use VOB Blanker (VOBB) to trim if I want to keep the menu structure, which I always do.
FYI: You don't see that much on the NEW releases, that is mostly on older DVD's and usually ones that are low budget stuff.
DVDFab usually gets everything on older movies. The ones it misses are the ones that are after you click Play on the menu. But they are easy to find and remove with PGCEdit. As others have said, the learning curve is a little steep.
Yes, props to AlienX69 for getting me started with pgcedit. Thx! As I continue to read more I'm always learning; this is all so new to me. There is stuff I want to remove at the front and tail ends of main movies, I'll take a look into Vobblanker. Thx for the suggestion. I didn't know it was possible when it's not a separate cell.
