I have 20 Pop Videos all with their own VOB.
I can create VTS_01_1 and so on for the allowed 10 VOB's and it works great.
However I can't seem to get IfoEdit to introduce the next title set i.e
VTS_02_1 and so on for the next 10.
PLease advise the steps. Big thanks in advance.
Phil

Mike, Thanks a lot.
I followed the link and it contained great information. I carried out the actions and sure enough was able to merge say 3 VOB's into 1. So effectively ended up with 1 VOB containing 3 pop videos. That's certainly 1 way of getting the required video's onto the DVD. I did have a problem though. Both Pop Video 1 and 2 played back with the music as I played through the now larger VOB but with loads of horizontal lines across the screen completely breaking the picture up although the music played perfectly. As if the Picture had lost sync or something. Any ideas ? Whilst I wait for your response I'll try it again.
Thanks in advance
Phil.
BTW - It appears that IFOEdit will not create more than 1 Titleset for you. It seems that it only creates the IFO's typically for a Film/Movie that generally has only 1 titleset. That is unless anyone out there knows different if so please advise because I would dearly like to just have a collection of individual VOB files ( 1 for each of the pop videos) as opposed to having less vobs but each containing 2,3,4,5 or whatever. It also makes for far better and easier migration around the DVD - Just click next on the remote and it goes from VOB to VOB.
The main issue is that you can only have 10 VOB's per each Titleset, so I need to increment the Titleset number by 1 for each 10 that I put on the DVD Perhaps 40 to 50.
Thanks again.

Sorry guys,
Misled you there slightly On the merged VOB the 1st Pop video played perfectly but then pop videos (in my example) 2 and 3 would not display the picture properly- lots of horizontal lines - sound was fine though.

bouldip,
Although I use Ifoedit from time to time, I have never used it in the manner you describe.
It seems to me that you are crossing the border into "Authoring" territory.
At that stage you need a "proper" authoring package, not Ifoedit.

You could also demux the m2v- and ac3-tracks from the VOBs and then remux and re-author them with any dvd-authoring software like DVDmaestro...

Gents,
Thanks for all your comments/advice/links. It's good to be part of such a helpful community. I do agree I am bordering into the area of authoring for which I do have "several" programs. All of which offer various levels of complexity and time needed not least expertise to complete succesfully. It just seems IFOEdit was such a perfect companion to what I wanted to do, even performs succesfully except only for one Video Title Set. If only I could find a similar way to increase the count in that area I would be in Nirvana !! Common Derrow You know you want to really .......don't you ? Please.

I am new to this also.
I attempted to merge 4 seperate home video clips onto one dvd. I used TMPGenc to create the 4 mpg files. However, when i used ifoedet/vobedit to create the ifo's. I ended up with 3 and a half vob's.
Ifoedit combined the vob's until they maxed out at 1GB each. and vob 4 is now the remnants of video clip number 4.
I am assuming IFoedit is not the program I should be using.

There is also one solution more...
first do that one titleset with ifoedit
then use Smartripper to "rip" those files from HDD(I know it sound stupid but it's not)... you can set how big vob-file splitting you want to use!!!
then you have for example one big vob-file and ifo etc...
then you can use those files again with IfoEdit etc... did you get it?
Zzzzzzzzz

Adder 78,
I think you were replying to me, but it may have been mike. If it was me, if I understand you correctly. I'd still have a problem. What I'd really like to do is this ....
VTS_01_1.vob
VTS_01_2.vob
VTS_01_3.vob
VTS_01_4.vob going up to VTS_01_9.vob
Then move onto
VTS_02_1.vob
VTS_02_2.vob
VTS_02_3.vob going up to VTS_02_9.vob
And so on through
VTS_03_x , VTS_04_x, VTS_05_x
Plus of course all the IFO and BUP files etc
Until I have filled the DVD with individual VOB files each one containing only a single Pop video.
For me, the advantages are many. For instance once I've created this simple collection (albeit difficult it would seem to achieve)I can at any time in the future pull off any single VOB and make best of the best DVD's or even Best of the best of the best if you get my drift.
If as was suggested, (quite reasonably) I just authored the DVD's I'd end up with a collection of 1.0g Vob's that I'd always have to split back down in the 3 or 4 single VOB's.
I agree, perhaps I'm making hardwork of something that should be simple,and was excitingly simple with IfoEdit, till I seemed to hit the 1 Titleset limit.
Perhaps I should just quit and just author the DVD's and put the effort in at the other end if I need to extract them back ?
Could anyone out there confirm or deny if I have hit IFOEdit's limit in terms of can I only play around with 1 Titleset please ?
Thanks again for all your thoughts & advice.

I think you can put all files in one titleset with that my method...
example:
so you have 20 VOB's
- then use IfoEdit to make both title sets(10 vob's/title set)...
- then use Smartripper and "Rip" both title sets and use filesplit/1Gig!
- then rename those files so you can use them in IfoEdit AGAIN and make ONE title set!
Thats it... :o)
Zzzzzzzzz

Hi Adder_78
Thanks for your comments. Just stopping at your first line. If I can do that I am happy.
"- then use IfoEdit to make both title sets(10 vob's/title set)... " Please tell me how I do this. I have only been able to make the one (1) Titleset in IfoEdit. Please outline the steps ( if you would be kind enough) I will then follow them and I'll be able to close this thread.
Many thanks in advance. Just assume 10 vobs per title set and take me to through the steps of the compilation. Or if it would make things easier just have 3 vobs in Titleset 1 and 3 in Titleset 2.
Thanks again
Phil (Bouldip)

rename those vob's(20):
first 10 of them should look like this:
VTS_01_1.VOB
.
.
.
.
.
.
VTS_01_10.VOB
(I'm not sure can you put 10 Vob's in the one titleset? you can also use 9 it dosent matter...)
then use IfoEdit and hit "Create IFOs" etc...
Then do the same thing for rest of the vob's(10)
VTS_01_1.VOB
.
.
.
.
.
.
VTS_01_10.VOB
and use again IfoEdit etc...
Okey now you have two titleset's(both are VTS_01 titleset) which both have 10 vob's!
Now open Smartripper and open the folder where the first 10 vob's titleset is. And rip it. The Smartripper should split the files/1gig so you have maybe one or two vob's after the rip is complete!!!
Do the same thing for the other 10 vob's titleset so you have again maybe one or two 1gig vob's after the rip is complete!!!
so after that you have maybe 1-5 vobs left...Rename them again:
VTS_01_1.VOB
.
.
.
VTS_01_5.VOB
Use again IfoEdit and hit "Create IFOs" etc...
Now you have only one titleset!!! Thats it...
Zzzzzzzzz

Adder_78,
Sure easy to see why you're a senior Member !
Yep, very good thank you. That would certainly do it. You got some sneaky moves in there mate, nice one.I've written them down for future use. Now I can see how HOMERJ felt it was more authoring territory.
*****ATTN DERROW***** If you ever get to read this. I still feel that my original request/requirement is a good one. The beauty of being able to use IfoEdit to create more than 1 Titleset, allows people like me, putting together DVD's will lots of Pop Video's on, the ability to KEEP each vob only containing that video. Or the same could apply to people collecting anything really, such as trailers for movies etc. The real benefit is that on the DVD the vob is maintained individually, such that if you ever want to pull off that individual vob you can do with great ease and mix and match in the future with any other future DVD compilations with no re:ripping. Just pulll of the vobs, number them 1-9 and just keep adding the titlesets and then hit that wonderful "Create IFo's" button. Simplicity itself !!!.
To all those that have contributed I appreciate your efforts, if you ever find out that Derrow or others have made the improvements please sing/scream/shout/advise Everyone Everywhere. All the best.
Phil.

Hi Video_
Yep, chapters no problem. In that each vob by default becomes it's own chapter. You just press next on the remote and jump, in my example, from vob to vob or pop track to pop track.
