No enough room for ifo growing??

[Van the man]

Hey

I get this problem in Vobblanker very often.

Can someone tell me what it means?

[jeanl]

Jsoto should answer that one, but I'm guessing that vobblanker does not have enough place in the existing IFO files to increase the size of some of the tables. In what circumstances do you encounter that error?

This error is issued if there is no enough space reserved for the re-created ADT and/or ADMAP tables.
Finally, in VB 2.0.1.0 up to 64 new sectors can be added per IFO (128 Kbytes)

So, it can be a bug or Van the man is doing something not supported by VB

Van the man
could you tell us what are you exactly doing?

It looks like it always happen when I remove something from the menu.Like delete German menu and only keep English....

I have VB 2.0.1.0 Beta 8 installed

[jsoto]

Use the released 2.0.1.0
Beta 8 has introduced big bug in this part (fixed in beta 9). http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=712277#post712277

I got the same problem using VobBlanker 2.1.2.0.

Actually, I'm replacing 3 PGCs (VTS 1, 2, 3) with a total of 9 GB. Replacing 2 PGC Title is fine (6990 MB), but after trying to replace the last title which is about 3 GB, the program show up that error...

After this step, I'll convert to fit DVD-5 or DVD-8.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you.

I'd think it is showing that because the DVD standard isn't 9GBs, but 8.xxGB

I'd think it is showing that because the DVD standard isn't 9GBs, but 8.xxGB
But why standard? So the size is limited? Why not expand more GBs for the upcoming BlueRay?

Is there a patch or something that could help to overpass this limit (I need to add at least 9 GBs)?

Thank you.

There is a small bug in the VTS list. It should say 10 GB instead of 10 MB

But, a standard DVD cannot house more than 8,5 GB (do not remember exactly the number) because of the physical media, but there is also other restriction: One file cannot be higher than 1 GB and a VTS cannot have more than 9 files (in titles domain).

Physical DVD media sizes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD#DVD_disc_capacity

VobBlanker uses VOB files of almost 1 GB (one sector, say 2KB less) and can handle 9 files per VTS. So almost 9 GB can be managed by VobBlanker (per VTS). VobBlanker does not check if the final DVD is larger than the media size limits.

EDIT:
In any case, the error "no enough room for ifo growing", although it is related with the final size versus the original one, it comes from a different problem. I've increased 50% the current limits.

EDIT2:
I've also changed the oversized error by a warning, allowing the last VOB file ( #9) to be larger than 1 GB. Not sure if a SW player will be able to play it or if many progs will be able to manage this oversized file..

EDIT3:
I've done some tests and WMP crashes with the VOB #9 larger than 3 GB. PowerDVD hangs when trying to jump to a chapter in this large file, but it is able to play continuously.
DVDShrink loads the DVD w/o any problem.

AFAIK, there is no standard for the size (in GB) of a DVD project. I have seen projects well over 9 Gb and jsoto is right - DVD Shrink loads them OK. AFAIK, the spec only talks about 10 VOBs per VTS (including the menu VOB) and due to filesystem format spec, they are always less than 1Gb on the disc (ie a second titleset is authored if you need to go over 9Gb in titles domain). Of course, if I am wrong, mpucoder/bigotti5/someone else will correct me :)

However, the fact that Windows Media Player chokes on a "large file" - well, this is one of the worst players around.
