Encountering a New Rebuilding Error

[mnfesq]

I am making a back-up of Basic Instinct 2, which is a Sony Video. I successfully ripped it using DVDFabDecrypter, having had no success using PGCEdit/DVDDecrypter. This was my first time using DVDFab - It seemed to work great.

Preparation and encoding phases went well and it appears that all of the m2v files were encoded. But in the rebuilding phase, I get the following error:

Error in UpdateIFO:VTS_01 VOBID: 01/CELLID 02 was not found in the VOB

I did not use FixVTS, figuring that it was not necessary with DVDFab, but now I'm beginning to wonder. Any ideas?

Try RipIt4Me (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=846315#post846315)

Definitely a bad rip. I had a similar report a couple of weeks ago.

You might want to try cleaning the disc and ripping again with DVD Fab... I think it sometimes mistakenly believes all read errors are some type of protection (instead of only certain types).

It will work ok with AnyDVD or RipIt4Me.

I ran FixVTS and did a clean up of the entire DVD (which I had already ripped to my hard drive with DVDFabDecrypter. Then I ran it again with DVDRebuilder and it seems to have come out just fine. I did not get the error I had before.

I guess I'll switch over to RipIt4Me next time I encounter a Sony DVD since that automatically runs FixVTS in the ripping process.

Thanks guys for your responses. I just love DVDRebuilder.

Just so you know... I never stop looking when I see the possibility of an error.

I found what was causing this and it wasn't a bad rip. This happens where there is a specific sequence of starting/stopping/resuming a job during the ENCODE phase. As a result one or more M2V files may not be created following the RESUME. When you rebuild -- the IFO couldn't be updated because the cell was never encoded.

It would happen very, very rarely and only under very specific circumstances. I've fixed it for the next release.
