IFO Edit has a 'Create New IFO' entry on one of its menus. Never tried it (only recently started to use the program), but if it does what it says it'll probably work for you.

IFO Edit has worked for me to recreate the IFO and BUP files in the past. But even with that you may have problems. But I would give it a try. A DVD is sometimes a complicated structure.

If you haven't looked through it, 'WHAT IS' DVD to the upper left on this page has some information about the DVD structure, format and specifications.

The BUP is just a backup of the IFO. The IFO contains the navigation instructions, such as chapters, subtitle tracks and audio tracks that are contained in the VOBs, which also contain the video.

And welcome to our forums.
