I'm working on a DVD-9 to DVD-5 rip. When a video is ripped and extras are left out, streams stripped etc. the video_ts.ifo file has lots of invalid junk, even if you use IfoEdit correctly. I wanted to make myself a new video_ts. The original one needs VTS_05_0.IFO and the associated VOB which now does nothing but point to VTS_01_0.IFO. So I had IfoEdit "create new VIDEO_TS.IFO & VTS_01_0.IFO." Then I replaced the new VTS_01_0.IFO with the original one to retain the menu. It worked, but when the movie plays it goes straight to the movie. If I press the menu button then the menu comes up. I need help getting the menu to come up when the movie first starts. I would really appreciate some help. I can't find the setting in VIDEO_TS using IfoEdit. I'd like to write a new guide for DVD-9 to DVD-5 and maybe eventually a one step program or script. PLEASE HELP!
You should check the First play PGC in de video_ts.ifo, with ifoedit you will find it in the upper display window when you click on the VMGM_MAT entry of your video_ts ifo. if you scroll down to the commands (pre/post commands), there will be a 'jump to title 1' command, change that in a jumpt to menu of title 1' command with ifoedit.
let me know if that worked (it did for me)
