  1. Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can advice me on this one:
    I cut with Chopper XP a bit of begining [in VTS_01_1.VOB] & 4min end credits [in VTS_01_5.VOB] of a movie, and updated the Ifos with IfoEdit v0.96 ["Get VTS sectors"].
    Now,
    1) PowerDVD plays the main movie only, from VTS_01_1.VOB, but not the menu VTS_01_0.VOB.

    Even that cannot be backed up:
    2) Nero Recode gives: at 95% analysis: "encountered an error & cannot continue. Failed to open file. The system cannot find the file specified."
    DVDShrink (latest, v.3...5) is more acurate: "Failed to open file F:\TITLE\VTS_01_6.VOB. The system cannot find the file specified."

    Looks like it's searching for VTS_01_6.VOB file, which does not exist. If I put a proprietary VTS_01_6.VOB, then it searches for VTS_01_7.VOB file. (same error message Failed to open _7.VOB)

    So, how to specify a movie's end?
    Any idea how to get to show the menu which is in the VTS_01_0.VOB??
    OR, how to back up after credits cut with Menu intact easier??
    (have read 2COOL's IfoEdit guides, but am not yet up to that level)
    Thank you very much for your time and help.

    Quick Reference:
    Action: cut parts of : VTS_01_1.VOB & VTS_01_5.VOB, 1st & last VOBs on Main Movie. Get VTS sectors, IfoEdit.
    Problems: Menu (VTS_01_0.VOB) does not play. In Analyzing DVD structure it searches for end .VOB file which does not exists: last vob is _5, it searches for _6.
    how to specify a movie's end & how to get showing the menu back (VTS_01_0).
    Thanks again.

    ok, since this interests someone(s) else, here is what I found:

    menu not playing problem:
    Menus are lost after IFOedit, so I sacrificed the menu.

    main movie end problem.
    took a 8MB blank .VOB. named it VTS_01_6.VOB. deleted all IFOs & .BUPs.
    Reconstituted IFOs (& BUPs) with IFOedit> "Create IFOs". then >"Get VTS sectors". Back up: Nero Recode, "Whole DVD" & DVDshrink only work. ( works for recording, but resulting dvd did Not play when recorded with: IC8, N Recode: Reauthhor DVD mode)

    if someone knows a better way, particularly one preserving the menu(s), please, come forth.
