Making DVD's play automatically

Many of the DVD's we play in the car have all kinds of junk at the beginning, which means always clicking through menus and skipping sections of the DVD. Re-burn the DVD without all that junk:

DVD rip with MactheRipper
In Toast 7 Titanium, choose the "Video" tab at the top, then choose the "DVD-video from VIDEO_TS" radio button.

Locate the folder containing the ripped DVD and select in Toast ("read from"). Click on "copy options" in Toast and select: "Main Movie Only" from Video drop down; "Primary only" from Audio drop down; uncheck any languages other than English.

Burn DVD.
