However, you may have to have an original ifo to open up in order for it to reference from.
I maybe wrong though - As I always used IFOEdit with an original ifo....
Although I do believe (heard) that TMPGEnc Dvd Author will create the ifo/bup from the vobs.
(again I haven't tried it so cannot provide you with more info - sorry)
Correct VOB-Unit (navigational pack) pointers in VOB file
Correct ifo tables with new VOB-Unit information
Create New VIDEO_TS.ifo + VTS_01_0.ifo
Then you will see a destination section at the bottom - point it to the VIDEO_TS folder you previously created.
Right now just click OK.
Ifoedit will now run through the vobs - whilst referencing the initial ifo and construct the required files and author them for dvd compliance. (may take some time).
Once completed you will end up with the files as mentioned above contained within the VIDEO_TS folder you selected as the destination.
All you do then is burn using Nero or Preferably recordnowmax(I use recnowmax).
And you should then have a dvd that will play no problems......
I think I have got that right, try it and if you have any issues - just post.
thank you for the guide i will give it a go in a mo!
but i am confused if i rip a film in dvd decrpyter it only highlights these files for main movie rip? will these not play on a dvd standalone if i burn them?
also i did try ifo edit on just create ifo! with those files now it played on my pc now but wont load in a PS2 game consol?
but these files i must say started life as NTSC film!
i went through this process!
DVDDecrypter = Strip/Rip main movie out of NTSC film/DVD
DVD2AVI = Load .VOB's then create .d2v file, Also Sound file AC3 2CH 148Kbps 44Khz .WAV
TMPGEnc Plus = Load .d2v & Sound file AC3 and using PAL MPEG2 template. End up with a MPEG2 file
TMPGEnc DVD Author = Load MPEG2 file (couldnt load wave? so used MPEG2 file for sound and source aswell) probably good job as the sound sync may have been out!
ignore pic link its PAL film! just testing what files i needreally?
I have never done NTSC (in the UK) but the principle should be the same....
If you have just an ifo and the relative vobs as you displayed - try it, it will not work I am sure....
The main reason that it will not work is that the player is not being told what to play.
This information is contained within the video_ts .ifo
Now in order for you to just run a movie the player has to access the video_ts.ifo - this is then told to goto VTS_01.ifo (or other) it then loads up the information from this file and knows where to find the relative vobs.
This is common to acces menus, or the movie....
The video_ts.ifo is the initial reference to what is contained on the dvd (like a TOC) and also contains a first play area - so when you insert the dvd it reads the video_ts.ifo and plays what it is told such as copyright warning or trailers etc.....
After you processed it through IFOEdit - creating the ifo's - did you get video_ts.ifo and bup, VTS_01_0.ifo and bup and VTS_01_x.vob(upto maybe VTS_01_4.VOB?
Main reasons it may not have worked in the PS2:
No VIDEO_TS folder (in uppercase) which contains the above files.
How it was burned - software and options, what were they.
Cheap media.
The VIDEO_TS folder (in uppercase) is very important - did you have this?
ok, i did it again through ifoedit! got the same files but this time i clicked on the button DISC IMAGE just muking about as this was going to be the last go at this.
and it did something 3 warning errors come out and said your ifo is wrong do you want to correct it? i clicked ok yeah 3 times!
burnt it and played it in PS2 sound was great picture judders a little?
on the pc its the other way round sound quiet? but picture excellant!
but the process works just needs tuning up on quality from file to file
