Mastering Error on Long Kiss Goodnight?

[naturalzinc]

I am trying to back up my copy of the Long Kiss Goodnight (w/ sam L. jackson etc., <4.35Gigs) and Nero says its not compliant to DVD-Video specs. I also tried to open the disk image in recode and dvd shrink and they both said that there was and error. I think DVD shrink said it was looking for a VTS_01_5.VOB even though that file does not exist on the original DVD.

What gives? Is this a mastering error? anyone know how to fix this?

i dont know if IFOEDIT would do the trick, i've tried to learn it (was a bit complicated) but i have never had a need for it.

thanx in advance for any help.

its not a dual sided dvd by any chance ?

[naturalzinc]

nope, single sided, single layered.

[BJ_M]

if its single sided, single layered -- why use dvdshrink at all?

just copy it -- use DVDDecrypter and make a image file and use DVDDecrypter to burn it ..

[naturalzinc]

ya i did use dvddecrypter to make an exact copy, but my point is that the finished product is not DVD-Video compliant. i think its due to a mastering error.

has anyone else experienced this problem with this particular disc?

[BJ_M]

if it plays (the original) and works fine .. and you make an exact copy .. its not an error per say..

[naturalzinc]

allright, sounds OK i guess (a little shady), but the original works in my player so it should be OK.

thanx for the help and replies.

I am having the same problem. DVD Shrink says "Invalid DVD Navigation Structure". I ripped and burned it with DVD X Copy, but my one player refuses to read it while the other one reads it as a ROM disc, and the Video_TS files are all crazy (like they are most of the time...locked in 16X9 and divided into random chunks, that leave out chunks of the movie).

How do I back this DVD up?

[beckmen]

I ripped using DVD Dycrytper and when I try and burn with Nero it says "DVD file reallocation failed". Should I risk another coaster, or is there something else I can do?

[beckmen]

Well I burned it anyway and ignored all of the warnings and it seems to have worked. Strange, though...

[bacardi/avt]

Why not burn with DVD decrypter if you ripp with it? I handles it's own images just fine and no warnings....

[beckmen]

I didn't know you could burn with DVD Dycrypter. This is the first time I have ever used it, because DVD Shrink has never given me any problems (well once, buy AnyDVD fixed that).
