Editing IFO in Hexedit?

[qshartle]

I opened the IFO i have in hexedit, and i see the line of number s at the top. Im thinking one of them is the region code, and just needs to be changed. I just dont know which one. Any ideas?

This sounds like a lot more work than necessary. Just drag the IFO file into DVDBackup, select the region you want, hit Process, and save the fixed IFO file in a different place.

is there a way to see if the region change worked?

Here is all I know you can get out of HexEdit and an IFO


VTS_01_0.IFO file hex address 200

Open your VTS_01_0.IFO in HexEditor,
Locate hex address 200
Make changes as need, then save.

Here is an example: 16:9, 740x480, AC3 audio
Open your VTS_01_0.IFO in HexEditor,

Here is an example: 16:9, 740x480, AC3 audio

0000200: F9 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Aspect Ratio
43 = 4:3
F9 = 16:9


Resolution NTSC (PAL)
00 = 720x480 (720x576)
1 = 704x480 (704x576)
0A = 352x480 (352x576)
0C = 352x240 (352x288)


Audio Coding
00 = AC3
02 = Mpeg-1
03 = Mpeg-2ext
04 = LPCM
06 = DTS

nothing about region code! The only way I know to do this is with IFOEdit and its not the region code thats not correct, its the RCE protection (which I understand to be the PAL/NTSC designation)

i had this problem where i just used DVDbackup set to region free did the dvd2one and mailed if off to a friend in england.

He couldnt play the disk and further investigation proved to me that the RCE protection was still on the disk! I opened the VIDEO_TS folder in IFOEDIT and click remove RCE and that was all it took

less than 1 min to do that in VPC

I looked there, and tried it. Hmm. My vpc sucks. Its soo slow. Plus the register with microsoft thing keeps popping up, and i dont have the box n e mroe. so im sorta screwed.
