I have used ifoedit before, I have create the ifo for each VOB file, but when I burn them to the DVD-R and put on the player, it only can play the first VOB files and cannot find the others
is it because there's no menu contains the correct VOB infomation

Any idea?

Thank you very much!

Sound right to me. All Ifoedit is doing is making the movies accesable by your player. So it makes files that tell the player "Hey this is the movies files here". Otherwise the disk would just contain the movie (PERIOD).

So??? how to solve the problem?
The player can play the first VOB file only and cannot find the others

Thanks a lot!

It can play the first vob.

You mean it only plays the first part of the movie, then stops?

OR

It starts from the begining and there is no menu to jump around?

First I am by no means an expert, but I can only tell you what I have done.

I use cladXP to rip, then I prompty delete the IFO and BUP files. Open IFO edit, create IFO's, get VTS sectors, make region free then save the IFO's. Then load up img tools and create and image file and then burn with decrypter.

I don't think it matters really what you rip with, I use clad because I'm comfortable with it.

The first thing I would look at if I were you is the file names of your ripped vob files and I would name them (uppercase) VTS_01_1.VOB,VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on. I have also created a small file 5 seconds with a DVD authoring software so that it is a VOB file and I named it VTS_01_0.VOB for some reason my backups would not play on my stand alone without this "0" file. Just make sure your file names are sequential and I would start with VTS_01_0.VOB

You should not have to make an IFO file for every VOB file. In the end if you are just doing the movie and no extra's, you should have 2 IFO files, and 2 BUP files.
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP
and then you should have your VTS_01_0.VOB, VTS_01_1.VOB, etc.

There's no menu for me to choose.

It can only first VOB file and stop!

How to do that?

I tried that before, rename the VOB files and create the ifo using ifoedit just what you told, but the problem still persists.

Thank you!

To make the "VTS_01_0.VOB file, I just opened photoshop made a 720X480 picture document. Saved it as a psd file. Opened Premiere imported it to my timeline set the duration to 5 seconds and rendered the 5 second movie (one picture) out in the DV format. The opened Ulead DVD workshop drug that avi to the timeline. Went to the finish tab and selected make disc. When the next screen popped up instead of burning to disc I selected the option of making a DVD folder on my HD. I started the process and when it was finished I have a 5 second VOB file that is only one pic and I have the IFO and BUP files for that VOB (which I don't need) so now I just renamed that file VTS_01_0.VOB and I copy it into whichever VIDEO_TS folder I am working with.

Your issue with only reading the first VOB is strange.

Ok, let me ask this, you use IFO edit to create new IFO's...after that will the DVD play fully through WinDVD 4 or PowerDVD or the DVD player in IFOedit? or is that where it stops?
If it stops there then obviously IFOedit is not seeing all of your VOB's and your IFO is only accessing the single vob file. I would still have to think that would have to be in the file names...I have not ran across this problem.

What movie are you trying to backup? I will go rent it and check it out. You can email me.

OK,

Got to jump in on this and save you alot of time.......

You simply dont understand 2 things, DVD Navigation Rules, and VOB ID's

OK, Here we go....

So, you want to take clips from various DVD's, or TV shows you encoded or some VOBS from that secret stash of porn under your bed, and turn it into a DVD that will not have a menu, but will play every clip in a row? Or, you can use your >>Next button on the remote to skip to the next VOB clip. Hold on..... We are getting close.....

You see, when you randomly grab clips, you dont know the VOB ID of the clip, and if 2 are the same, well, then you get a locked up DVD.

The Steps.

1. Collect a bunch of VOB segments, now dump them in a directory, but rename EXACTLY like this.
a. First segment you want to watch = VTS_01_001.VOB
b. Second segment = VTS_01_002.VOB
c Next.... VTS_01_003.VOB.....

2. Open up VOBedit, load in the VTS_01_001.VOB

3. Top Left Menu, use the JOINCLIPS selection, select an output directory.
4. Start...
5. Now, when its done joining VOBS, and what it mainly did was strip the VOB ID's and put new sequencial ones in, you should have a shiny new set of VOBs.
6. Run IFOedit, create IFO's (SINGLE PGC, Create chapter for each cell)on that new set of vobs........
7. Press Get VTS Sector button.
8. DONE.

There you go, if it is still baffeling then check out..http://ifoedit.wh.fr0zen.com/joinclip.html
