Authoring with IfoEdit after DVD Decrypter

[Sugar]

I am backing up a DVD9. I am not interested in the menus and the extras, I just want to keep the main film and its chapter points.

I have ripped the DVD with DVDDecrypter in IFO mode. The film and its audio tracks are less than 4.3GB and can fit onto a DVD-R. DVDDevrypter offers, as an option, to rip chapters information in a separate file for use with various software including IfoEdit.

I then author the DVD with IfoEdit Authoring using the .m2v file, the various .ac3 files and the .txt chapters point information file. I then burn it with Nero. The film plays fine on my DVD player. I can change the audio tracks without any problem.

The problem is that the chapters do not correspond with the actual chapter. For instance, chapter 2 will start a few seconds later that it starts on the original DVD. I figured it may have come from the framerate. I did the same process after correcting the chapters point information by a factor of 23.976/29.97, but with no greater success.

Any idea how to create the same chapter points as one the original DVD?

Easiest method

use dvddecrypter in file mode. You wont need to re-auther just create new VIDEO_TS files. You wont have to demux the movie into mpeg and ac3 file and reauther, more then likely there is an issue with the chapter setting in the authoring.
