How To Add Subtitles to a DVD. (THE COMPLETE WORKING GUIDE).

[jorlando]

I used the tips in this guide to add subtitles and a new audio track for a DVD that I have. A few comments:

I'm using the AUTHOR option in IFOedit to remux the VOB with the new audio and subtitles.

there is a funny bug with IFOedit when the source .m2v is NTSC, that says that the file is shorter than it reali is (around 17%, i.e, as if the file was PAL 25fps instead of NTSC 30fps)

IFOedit doesn't have an NTSC/PAL option, is hardcoded. I assume that

a) the author considered only PAL movies
b) the tool should auto-detect 30 or 25 FPS and generate accordingly, but that operation is faulty

the effects:
- the movie plays the correct duration, powerdvd's time indicator stops at 1:17:34, but the movie plays more 17 minutes.
- subtitles and audio are syncronized with the movie, so I assume that during the multiplex fase IFOedit correctly identifies the movie as 30fps and puts subtitles and audio in the right places
- the chapters are extracted from the original DVD as a CELTIMES.TXT file, but the chapters are in the worng place, when playing the movie.

it seems that is during the chapters creation proccess that the bug shows it´s ugly face. the chapter's timing error isn't constant all over the file, so I can't just multiply the values from CELLTIMES.TXT by 0.8333 to get the correct values, it is a trial and error process.

It leads to a problem that some people mentioned: recgnizing less chapters than the DVD actually have. It's easy to explain: IFOedit wrongly calculates the movie as an smaller size, so the CELLTIME.TXT has values that are "outside" the movie. To avoid this recalculate all the values multiplying then by 0.833. Repeating, it won't give the corrects chapters positions, but you can use it as a reference to change values by hand later.

I should use Rejig instead of IFOedit, but I could only find the 0.5e version, that crashes in my computer or generates a bad VOB, so I think that I must wait for a newer version of IFOedit.

DVD Maestro is expensive and also not perfect: if the movie has a layer break info (to hide an easter egg, for example), DVD MAestro will think that the movie is shorter than it really is.

So, considering price, size and other things, I'll stay with IFOedit, VOBedit and the other free tools

hi Matrix....you have done a GREAT work indeed....no doubt it ....nevertheless i do have 3 problemes i wish you can help me with ..

1- when i finish burnning the "original file" using CloneDVD i run to my DVD player to see the result and watch my movie with my fav subtitle ...BUT i "awlays ..i repeat " awalys" get a small font subtitle ...no matter how many times i change the font size using subtitle workshop still i get small font ...i have to be close to TV in order to read it !!!.....is there any way i can control the font size of my subtitle so that i can sit and see my movie and not to stick my face on my TV's screen .....P.S i found programs that will do a subtitle but with a balck background which i hate to use ...i only want the subtitle shown.

2- when i play the "new" DVD i don't get the warning or the logo or anything that the orignal DVD shows ...i thought that we only use VOB files that conain the movie and nothing else ....even the "extra" that i have on the orignal DVD i don't have it on the "new" DVD ...each time i click on "extra" the screen "freeze"..so i have to reject the DVD and play it again ...is there away around this ?

3- is there away that i can add my new subtitle as an option in the subtitle menue?... also i have on my DVD... 2 subtitles "English" and " Japnese" ...the same thing to my audio ...and i want to add my fav subtitle to those but without losing them and to put my new subtitle as i said as an a option in the menue....is that posible?...if it is then how?


thanks in advance to you or anyone who can help on this .

[jorlando]

me2000,

1- you said "change the font size using subtitle workshop". subtitle workshop does not determine the font size. what program do you to generate the subtitle files? srt2sup? maestro? you must change the font size in these programs. the font size in subtitle workshop is just to give you an idea of the appearence of a given font. the black background is bexause you didn't selected it as "transparent"

2- if you don't have the extras, but select them and the DVD crash, I think it's somewhat expected

3- you can add subtitles, but to have then in the menu you need to edit the menu, and it by itself is very complicated and needs proper programs. add the extra subtitles and select them by remote

[TheMatrixx]

Hi all.

me2000 : 1. If you use this guide you have to modify the text size in SRT2SUP, NOT Subtitle Workshop. (Look in the guide at STEP 2 - IMAGE 4, and hit the Global Font button to set the subtitle size and font.
If you use the new guide with DVD Maestro, you don't have to do nothing couse the font is set automaticaly. But if you want it bigger you can always open the STL file with NotePad and edit the size line, witch is 30 as default.

2. Please see the new guide with DVD Maestro from here (http://rodivx.xro.us), and insted of doing STEP 5 - section c) from this guide (VOB Extras with IfoEdit) do an IFO update as shown in the new guide, with IfOUpdate.

3. To add a link in the menu is VERY VERY hard thing to do, and I have no ideea how to do that. I think you must demux the menu and edit it some how...it's strange thing....

jorlando, I give you an private message asking for your e-mail adress to send you the ReJig 0.5d software !

[Ryantje]

@TheMatrixx:

great guide but got a little problem

everything works fine till i play the movie
subtitles work fine in the beginning of the movie,
but towards the end they all get out of sync, even when theyre perfectly synched (even the original subtitles ripped with subrip)

i have this problem with every dvd

any idea?

[TheMatrixx]

Ryantje, the movies are NTSC ?

[Altamira]

Hello The MATRIXX,

First: Thank you for your work. I used it several times and it was realy good.
Second: I would like to get info about where can I find a ReJig 0.5d. Because the 0.5e realy makes error if I want to use it in NTSC DVD.

Please help.

Many thanks

Altamira

[TheMatrixx]

Hi, Altamira....i can give u ReJig 0.5d like i did to many people from here...by e-mail. So drop an e-mail to my Gmail account, (ID - matrixdvd) and I will give you the software.

I don't know if you saw in here...but there is another guide, easy than this one. You can find it at http://rodivx.xro.us

[HaCKwAR]

First of all... Thank u TheMatrixx for all ur efforts and ur time to help us out. I never thought I was able to find a fine and great tutorial to add subs to a authored dvd...

@TheMatrixx:

great guide but got a little problem

I have exactly the same problem.
The dvds are NTSC. I ripped the original subs to sync my language sub with it. I remux the dvd with the new sub and with the originals ripped from the dvd.. And, like Ryantje, all the subs are out of sync. (but they work fine in the beginning).
This is happening with all my dvds. I already use the IFOEDIT and the REJIG tutorial, and the subs works fine... But with IFOEDIT, I have some problems with the chapters I guess (the dvd stops playing in the middle of the movie). With REJIG, it takes too long (almost 4/5 hours).
The DVD MAESTRO tutorial is the best one... Easy and quick.. But , like I said, The subs are out of sync.

[cd090580]

I've done a home dvd with Music Videos authored with tmpg dvd author.

Then I create all the subs with Subtitle Workshop (it takes a quite long time to create them because I need to timestamps them manually )

Then I followed the guide but I can't get the subtitles to work.
When I open the ifo "ready to be burned", there is no subtitles listed in ifo edit. And when I try to play it with powerdvd the subtitle menu is disabled.

Here is what i have in the ifo after multiplexing with ifoedit:

Title Set (movie) attributes:
Video: MPEG-2 720x576 (PAL) (PAL625/50) (4:3) (not specified perm. display)
Audio 1: English (Linear PCM) 2ch 48kbps 16bps (ID: 0xa0)
SubPicture 1: English (2-bit rle) (id:0x20)

And in the Final DVD ifo:

Title Set (movie) attributes:
Video: MPEG-2 720x576 (PAL) (PAL625/50) (4:3) (not specified perm. display)
Audio 1: English (Linear PCM) 2ch 48kbps 16bps (ID: 0xa0)

As you can see the SubPicture stream has disappeared.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thx

[TheMatrixx]

The DVD MAESTRO tutorial is the best one... Easy and quick.. But , like I said, The subs are out of sync.

Hi HaCKwAR, as I said before on NTSC movies the subtitle will be good at the begining of the movie, but after a few minutes it will be delayed. This is becouse of the drop frame setting on the DVD Maestro (I think ). So, what you will need to do :

For NTSC, "InputFPS" will be 29.970 and "FPS" will be 30, as in the image below.




It's all that in the guide

BTW...to not forget...IF SOMEONE FINDS THE DROP FRAME SETTING IN DVD MAESTRO, PLEASE POST IT HERE !!!

[TheMatrixx]

Hi cd090580, if I was having the IFO file in front of me, I would made it perfect . So, you can try 2 things, I saw that you followed the first tutorial, so PLEASE STOP at STEP 5 after multiplexing with IfoEdit. And after that please do the last step from the new guide ( http://rodivx.xro.us ), IFO Update STEP !

Or you can make the whole thing with the new guide

[TheMatrixx]

Well, TheMatrixx

stop hurting yer brain, I finally did it. I figured out how to fix a multiPGC movie with new subs... Anybody wanna know how? Let yerself be heard!

PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU DID IT !?!

I have many requests from my country about this multi-PGC shit !

I hope you hear me... I am having a little problem with a movie that has more than one PGC, which results in the following error message when trying to compile in Maestro:

"The original IFO's PGC area is not large enough to hold the new PGC. ABORTING."

I believe it's due to the fact that there are two PGCs or am I wrong? Please let me know and what can I do to resolve this error?

[Wookie3K]

Hello peeps, ít's been a long time...

K... here we go,

Before we start, this method will take loooooong, but will be perfect.

I haven't read any posts in this thread since my last post and i'm not intending to... so err... if you guys already solved how to fix a multipgc dvd, with original subs and a new sub... then i guess i'm writing this for nothing.

I managed to fix the NTSC version of "harskey and stutch" (multi-pgc) with new subs by replacing the spanish one, I could have kept them all by just adding a sub but i wanted my new sub to be selectable in the language menu. (i.e. when I select spanish I get my new dutch sub, I'm dutch you see duh!

Okay, where to begin... err oh yeah the layout of the dvd, I can't really remember what the official layout of the original dvd was, so I'm making some of this stuff up. Let's just say the IFO of the tileset containing the main movie looks like this:

PGC1: The main movie - spread over VOBid's 2 and 3
PGC2: Some WB intro logo thingy - VOBid 1
PGC3: I really don't know, let's say some warnings - VOBid 4
PGC4: Some dvd company's logo - VOBid 5

Yeah I think it looked somewhat like that...

Now let's just ride along theMatrixx's guide for a while, but first were going to rip the original subs with subrip (or at least the two I wanna keep) SO... open up subrip (i'm not going to explain this program) and rip in dvdmaestro mode (.SON) You'll notice that this dvd provides subs in letterbox and widescreen mode, meaning english has two streams, as does french... So all summed up we'll be ripping four streams, and adding a fifth later on. You guys still with me? Good then you qualify to read on...

I just made four folder looking like this:

StarHutENwide
StarHutENlb
StarHutFRwide
StarHutFRlb

And ripped everything to the correct folder. So that's that.

AH man i'm getting tired just thinking about explaining the rest.
K... let's go over to the ripping part,

Multo Importante > rip in IFO mode and rip every PGC to a new folder.
Select the main movie PGC (nr. 1), enable stream processing, click the video stream and click demux, leave the audio stream selected, unselect everything else and start ripping to a folder. Oh yeah make sure you enabled create Maestro chapterfile in ifo options.

Now select the second PGC and without altering anything rip it to a new folder. Also do this for the third and fourth PGC.

Go to the folder where you ripped the main movie to and use VOBedit to get the audio from the ripped vobfile, then get rid of the vobfile.
Now we have a videofile, an audiofile, a chapterfile, I think we're ready for some authoring... WRONG, what about the subs dudes?! We gotta make some subs that DVDmaestro can work with. I prefer using MaestroSBT for making my .SON files, so basicly it goes like this:
SRT > Subtitletool > SSA >MaestroSBT > SON

Now comes the tricky part guys... pay attention here. The subs we ripped from the original DVD can't just be loaded in to DVDmaestro because... well you could, but they will be terribly out of sync. It took me like 2 whole weeks before i came up with this idea, listen up:

Open up Subtitle workshop, change input FPS to 29,97 and open up one of your RIPPED .SON files, change output FPS to 30 Then use "Save as" to store your newly made .SON file. Put it in the same folder But please do NOT overwrite the original one (hence "Save as") Repeat this for all your RIPPED .SON files.
Now if you've done all of this right you've got four folders containing the bitmaps, one original .SON file one .SON file we just created and one palette file.
If you compare the newly created .SON file with the original one using notepad you'll see that it's pretty fucked up, the timestamps are all correct but the information about the placement of the bitmap is... gone... I begged and begged in front of the guys that thought up Subtitle workshop to fix this problem, but they assraped me, laughed at me and told me to piss off. So basicly they said... No
Now I had to fix this all by myself and i came up with this crazy solution, I downloaded a program called rapid key, a program that is designed to capture keystrokes and mousemovement and repeat them, but at 1000 times the original speed or something. So basicly what i did was place the two Notepad windows (one containing the original timestamps and the other one containing the altered ones) next to each other. Now just one time, copy and paste the first altered timestamp over the original one (also the first one ofcourse) Now when you're doing this, make sure rapidkey is recording, and when you're done use the Rapidkey hotkey to stop the recording. You will now have something that's called a Macro, this macro can be repeated an X times >>>Important: The two timestamps, the one that's copied and the one that will be pasted over, have to be at the same place on your screen every time the macro is repeated, because basicly it's just a movement being done over and over again. So make sure that the next two timestamps in line are at the exact same position of your screen before stopping your recording (So basicly this means scrolling notepad down two lines with the original .SON file and scrolling notepad down one line with the newly created .SON file) Now open rapidkey setup the macro to repeat itself for the desired amount of times and let it roll... Repeat this for all of the four subtitle streams. Save the (former original, now altered, meaning the one you copied the timestamps to) .SON and throw away the ones we created with Subtitle workshop.

I wish I could see y'all faces when you're reading all this

Now... Having done all this let's author...

Open up DVDMaestro, load the M2v file in your asset bin, wait, wait, wait some more, finished. Load your ac3 file, wait a little shorter, done. Now drag the m2v to the corresponding timeline, drag the ac3 to the corresponding timeline, load up the chapterfile, and load all the subtitlefiles in the right order, meaning in the same order they showed up in Subrip: So first English: wide then letterbox, then French: Wide then letterbox. And last but not least our own language .SON file.

If you've paid attention to what you've been doing you could have seen that Subrip also creates a Palette file containing the sub colors. If you open up a .SON file with notepad you can see wich color it's using for what, wich one's translucent, etc. So also load up one of these Palette files (they're all the same in all of the four subtitle folders so it doesn't matter wich one you choose) having done this you'll see that the original subs have their original colors but your own sub probably hasn't, well... just alter the palette file using DVDMaestro, add the colors you want to use somewhere in the back of the colorpanel. having done that open your own language's .SON files assign the right colornumbers and translucent or opaque numbers et voila, c'est tout. Colors are allright now, so compile away.

next now we no longer need all that shit we used for authoring so throw it away, do it, now, do it, do it... heheh Starskey and Hutch humor

Now put the newly created vobfiles in an Iso load it with deamon tools use dvddecrypter to rip the vobfiles to a destination, but disable filesplitting, so you've got one bigass vobfile, throw away the vobfiles made by DVDMaestro but keep the ifo file, we'll be needing this later for colors.

now we're going to reconstruct the entire tileset. normally the VOBid's go from 1 to 5, but we're going to reassemble them in PGC order, make sure all the other pgc's you ripped are just one VOBfile, now put 'm in the correct order like this

VTS_01_001.VOB Main movie
VTS_01_002.VOB Some WB intro logo thingy
VTS_01_003.VOB I really don't know, let's say some warnings
VTS_01_004.VOB Some dvd company's logo

Now use vobedit to join clips and wait wait wait, oh by the way if you put ifoedit or vobedit's progress bar outside of the screen you'll find that the program will do it's job a little quicker.

Okay so now we've got our entire tileset back, hurray for us!!!
Use ifoedit to create new ifo's for these files, select "create a new pgc for each new vobid" and "create a chapter for each cell" let it roll...

Now rip the whole frikkin DVD to your HD (without te tileset that contains your movie because this will save time, you're gonna overwrite it anywayz) Rename your authored set of vobfiles to match the original ones and place them with the rest of the files... Dude you've got your whole new DVD on your harddrive!!!

Only thing left to do is: Fixing the ifo's

Load ifoupdate, At original put the path to the original ifo file you just ripped from the dvd. At authored put the path to the ifofile you created with ifoedit. At backup put some backup destination just to be sure. Now put all the options in ifoupdate just like in thematrixx's guide except for the subcolors and audio and subtitle tables, do not select these. Now let it roll and when done open up ifoedit.

Open your updated ifofile, and open the ifofile i told you to save that was created by DVDmaestro. Now copy the colortable from the "dvdmaestro created ifo file" to the other ifo file. Now one last thing you wanna do is go to the main movie's pgc look for the last sub (the spanish one) it'll show that it uses substream 4 for widescreen and substream 5 for letterbox, but substream five doesn't exist anymore so change both values to 04. just look at the hex number to the side of the decimal number, it'll have something like 040005 in it or something. Enter this number in windows calculator using hexmode replace the 5 by a 4 and see what the number is in decimal numbers. Enter this number in the ifofile and you'll see (when you refresh) that it'll play substream 4 when in letterbox or in widescreenmode.

That's it people!!!

I never ever wanna do this again, really makes you respect people who write guides... JEEEESUS.

[TheMatrixx]

Thank you Wookie3K !

I will give this to my fellows form here to test it, if it works I will put it in the guide...and ofcourse with special credits to your work

[wcorum]

This is my first post. I have been reading extensively and trying to follow the subtitle guides. I am trying to do a pretty involved project of translating 3 different movies (NTSC) replacing (or adding) a different language. This is for an educational purpose and I know I am definitely over my head but I have been learning allot thanks to reading this forum.

I have been using guide by TheMatrix using DVDMaestro since I am working with NTSC movies. I use SUBRIP to get the English subtitles and then work in Subtitle Workshop in the translation mode to do the actual translation work.

After following the guide and changing the font size in the .STL (as was suggested by TheMatix in an earlier post), the result looks great. I can play the movie and turn on subtitles with the remote control and the color is as the English and works great.

EXCEPT, the other stuff in the DVD menu doesn't work like turning on subtitles, jumping to chapters, looking at "Biographies". When trying any of these (anything other than Play movie), the movie freezes.

Also, I had some timing issues with the subtitles. When I jump to chapters just using the remote, a new chapter seems to "squelch" the subtitle at that point so that it doesn't play for the normal time. Actually I had to play around with the timing in Subtitle Workshop to get the new subs to line up closer to the movie. But still not perfect.

When I saw the post from Wookie3K I got excited since I suspect the problem has to do with the fact the movie is multi-pgc. I tried following that 'guide' but must confess, it is over my head, especially towards the end. My subs that I am creating are not 'bit maps', instead I used got a .sub file after running SubRip on the demuxed IFO file and then loaded that into Subtitle Workshop and after translating it, saved as .stl
I am hoping you, TheMatrix will be able to incorporate this info. From Wookie3K into the guide and this will make the entire DVD menu work.

Also, on the timing issues of the subs, if what Wookie3K was doing for the bitmap .son files would work for the timing for what I am trying to do, I would appreciate any advice along those lines. I would like to have the new subs have the exact same timing at the old subs.

Also, I want to thank you all for your hard work. People like me couldn't even begin to try to do a project like this without these guides and forums.

[TheMatrixx]

Hi wcorum, well you say the movie works fine....but the menu is not in his place. Ok, did you make sure that all the options in IfoUpdate are checked ? Like in the image below...



If they are set like that, it may be something with the Multi-PGC, but in Multi-PGC movie should not see right....

Ok, with the subtitles. Remember that you said you have an NTSC disc, so look in the guide in STEP 3 (look at the picture). So if you rip the subtitle from the DVD and translate it you must put Input FPS 29.97 and FPS 30....if NOT...you will have a delay after some minutes, till the end of the movie.

So do some test and let me know what's up

[wcorum]

Thank you for the reply.

First, I did follow your well written guide very carefully and also made the movie about 3 times always with the same results. So yes, I did have all the settings correct in IfoUpdate.

When I say the movie works fine, this is what I mean. When you first put in the DVD to the player, the first intro screen is 'messed up', it's like it's all chopped up but it doesn't freeze. Then it goes to the main DVD menu. As long as I choose play movie, the movies will begin to play ok and then on the remote I can turn on subtitles and they look great.

If however I choose something else from the DVD menu, like subtitles, or chapters, or extras, the DVD will freeze and I have to restart it. So I'm hoping I can learn how to the make the movie as the original, except I have the new language subtitles in place of the English.

Regarding the timing, I also was careful to set Input FPS to 29.97 and FPS to 30. Still the timing was off and I ended up adjusting the timing in Subtitle Workshop by inputting specific times based on my watching the movie. This of course wasn't perfect, but better.

When I look at the .sub file created from SubRip and then the .stl file created from Subtitle Workshop, using Notepad, I can see the timings are different. For example, the first spoken line in .sub is 00:02:10:40, 00:02:14:93 and in the .stl file it's 00:02:10:08,00:02:14:24. The last spoken line in .sub is 01:19:11:83 , 01:19:13:83 and in .stl 01:19:07:02 , 01:19:09:02 so you can see they are off. And again, this is making sure that the Input FPS is 29,97 and FPS is 30. That's why I'm wondering if doing a cut and paste of the timings similar to what Wookie3K described might be the correct solution to the timing issue.

Regarding the Multi-PGC thing, here is a screen shot from DVD Decrypter in IFO mode showing the DVD. The main movie is in VTS_03 and PGC 1. But there are two other VTSs and under VTS_03, there are 6 PGCs. So my question, should I be doing something with all those as suggested in Wookie3K’s post. Would that make the resulting DVD like the original. Please forgive my lack of knowledge in these things. As I acknowledged in my previous post, I am in over my head, but trying to learn.




So, I guess I’m hoping for clarification as to what I should do. I tried to follow Wookie3K post but it assumes more knowledge than I have and I got lost. It would be great if you can make additions to your guide using a bit more basic language as in the current guide for those of us that don’t have as much experience with this stuff. I found the current guide easy to follow just didn’t give me the 100% results I’m hoping for yet.

I'm trying to post the image I mentioned in my post, hopefully this works this time.

Hey Is there Any one, Who cpould telle me what this error mean and what I shall doo to make it fix ;9

IN the Error Box the Text is " Temporal References in GOP #(Zero-Based) are out of sequence (0x10b00a) It happen after It have imported ca. 47 % of the asset

Please help me

[deathgrin]

I've been reading all the posts in this forum and also the Guide.

I've been sucessfull in creating a working DVD (hellboy) that a friend downloaded from the net (a dvd-r). I followed the Guide and all went well.

Now my friend (he really doesent want to learn to do this), gave me another dvd-r he got from the net - The Passion of Christ - and all went well till it was time to use IFOUPDATE.

When I try to use IFOUPDATE on this movie it says (after all selected like in the Guide):

ERROR: The original IFO's PGC area is not large enough to hold the new PGC. ABORTING.

I opened the original IFO from the DVD and it has 2 PGC's. The first is a some kind of logo and lasts for about a minute and the second is the movie.

What should I do to make it work???

Thanks for any help.

P.S. - I just thougt that if I can remove the logo with maybe DVDSHRINK -maybe it will work because it will no long have 2 PGC's, am I right ?

[TheMatrixx]

Flarup, I think the error is from the original movie, it may be corrupt ...sorry

- I just thougt that if I can remove the logo with maybe DVDSHRINK -maybe it will work because it will no long have 2 PGC's, am I right ?

Yes you can do that, but try it with DVD Remake, it's the best

[Heat]

Hello.

I read all the posts and I still can't find a way to add subtitles to a EPISODE DVD (4 episodes and some extras). Does anybody has any idea???

Thanks for tjis guide The Matrix!!

[yuske]

Hi Matrixx

First of all great Tutorial.
I have done some movies with no problems, but I'm having problems with one. When I use Rejig for (multiplex, multiplex subtitles, create DVD files), it only makes the first step(multiplex), and it takes only about 8 minutes. Then it doesn't make anything else, and the "final dvd folder" has only 160kb.
Please help me with this problem.

Thank you

[wcorum]

Wookie3K

I followed your guide very closely and no problems until the end at the If0Update state. When I load the origianl ifo file and the authored ifo, a message comes up saying that IfoUpdate is closing because "The new VTS has more PGCs than the original, no room"

I also see in the info box saying that the original IFO has 4 PGCs (which is correct) and the new authored has 15 PGCs. Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks for the help.

I also see in the info box saying that the original IFO has 4 PGCs (which is correct) and the new authored has 15 PGCs. Any idea what I did wrong? I suspect it it due to the 3rd PGC has 12 chapters. The structure is like this. PGC 1, main movie, 62 chapters. PGC 2, 1 chapter, PGC 3, 12 chapters, PGC 4, 1 chapter

Thanks for the help.

K, so you've got 4 pgc's... then make sure that the amount of VOBs you're gonna join with VOBedit is exactly the same amount (Which will result in every VOBfile getting it's own VOBid). Also make sure you join the vobfiles in the correct order. So the VOBfile that holds your main movie (PGC1 as you stated) should be renamed to VTS_01_001.VOB, PGC2 should be VTS01_002.VOB. etc.

After you've joined clips, every PGC will have it's own VOBid.

Because of this, IFOedit will recognize every VOBid as a Separate PGC (If you enabled "make new PGC for every VOBid") and create IFO files likewise.

If you open your newly created IFOfile you should see that IFOedit has created PGC's in the same order as in your original IFOfile.
