IFO Edit Problems (Newbie Question) 0.95

[lemonkey]

Hello,

I am having problems with IFO edit. I have only been able to create one DVD to work on my stand alone player using this program if the Main Movie is under 4.3 Gig.

What usually do is open up the Ripped DVD main movie IFO and then go through the VOB Extra routine stripping streams etc.

After waiting an Hour, it to creates new VOBs, IFO etc. I try playing the file using the "Play DVD from Hard Drive" function in POWERDVD Xp, this work perfectly.

Following tutorials on the internet, I press the Get VTS Sectors button in IFO edit and Save the IFO.

Now when I try to play the DVD from the Hard Drive it throws up error "unknown file format".

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Do I even have to do the Get VTS sectors button ? and am I doing it on the right IFO e.g. VIDEO_TS.Ifo.

Thanks,

Le Monkey

I've used ifoedit a few times without any problems and I like to follow the guide made by Cavie at: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=129774
It's worked every time that I have used it.

I use nero to burn it, but make sure that after you have created all of your files that they're in a VIDEO_TS folder. I couldn't get windvd to recognize a dvd I had edited because it wasn't in a VIDEO_TS folder. I always get the VTS sectors because my standalone won't read it if I haven't. Oh, also make sure that when you get the VTS Sectors that you have both the VIDEO_TS.ifo file and your main movie .ifo file loaded into ifoedit at the same time. I usually exit the program and then restart it before I get the VTS sectors.

I got this message from PowerDVD XP after messing around a little too much with the IFO. I just don't remember exactly what I did that time. It may have been some tricking with IFO trying to get CCE reencoded m2v-files to work.

I'm not saying that you deliberately messed things up, but if you just follow the guides straight on with no "special" home made steps it actually should work.

I'm a little concerned about the VTS sector correction too. I'm not sure if you really have to save the IFO, I think IfoEdit does this for you. (at least IfoEdit 0.95 does).

Sorry. This wasn't of much use for you. Perhaps this triggers some kind of reaction that brings the solution to this issue out in the open...

Wanted to throw my two cents in. The post before with link to the tutorial I think will help you out alot. I'm extremely new to this but I followed a similiar tutorial exactly and I haven't run into any problems yet.

It's half way down and it starts with ENEMYWITHIN. I only grab the first three files (VIDEO_TS) and the main movie in DVD Decrypter and follow the rest exactly. Now my only problem is trying to keep the menu chapter select option in there when movie is really below 4.3bg. It would be nice to see what chapter your skipping to. Also if you have any movies over size I like to run it through DVD2ONE to make it fit. I made a 2hr 20min movie fit back onto one with no visible lose in quality (took stills of the original and the one that went through DVD2ONE and saw no visible quality loss.

the easiest way to make a movie that is the main movie is less than 4.3gig is to make a folder (name it after the movie) to rip the movie files to, rip with smartripper in file mode, not movie or backup mode. open ifoedit. press create ifos, leave the pgc and chapters options alone, navigate the 1st vob of title set to your movie folder(your movie) click on the first vob file(it will automatically find the rest), check the destination directory for ifo files to same as source,click ok. and wait 5 to 10 minutes for your dvd compliant files. then u burn with gear pro or instantcopy 7 to make the movie 100% dvd compliant

it sounds like something i used to do before instant copy came out.. i used to rename half of the vts vob files(after i rip only the vob files), put them in another folder labeled part II of the movie. use ifoedit to create ifos for them then i burn the movie to 2 different disc, though with ic7 out theres no need to do that no more.i can put all i need to one disk.
