I'm sure someone here has had this happen before.

I've done what's suggested in the forums after ripping with DVD Decrypter, that's to say, open the original .ifo, get vobs, open new .ifo and get VTS sectors. Then I burn to a VIDEO_TS folder off the root of the blank DVD. Both with Goldmember and Ice Age, the first chapter is missing, these are the only two movies I've tried with IFOedit .95. The DVD is recognized by my player and PS2, but neither will play the first chapter. I hit fast forward and the second chapter starts great and the whole movie plays through.

What am I doing wrong?

I usually just rip the whole DVD and reburn if it's under 4.5GB or if it's over, then I re-encode and burn using MyDVD.
Any help would be appreciated.
