After reading through the guides for ifoedit I thought I understood what to do but that is not the case. I have been trying to copy the main movie and the menu for Big Trouble in Little China. I am using ifoedit .95. Using dvddecrypter I saved all files to my hard drive into the VIDEO_TS in directory B. I opened the video_ts.ifo file and clicked play dvd.

When i exited the player it said titles 1, 4, and 5 were played. Here is the layout:
Title 1 is VTS_05_x.xxx
Title 4 is VTS_01_x.xxx
Title 5 is VTS_02_x.xxx

I opened VTS_05_0.IFO and saw that this has the main movie and the menu. The other 2 titles are the FBI warning and a company disclaimer. That is okay I don't mind those being in the movie as I am new to this and the less I have to strip the less I can mess up. After opening VTS_05_0.IFO I decided to strip everything but the movie, 5.1 sound, and english subtitles. I select strip streams and strip vobids, correct vob unit, correct ifo table,remove p-uops, remove macrovision, adjust vob-unit, adjust audio, auto copy menu files. I have the files go into the VIDEO_TS in directory A.
There is only one menu so I don't strip the menu items as I selected copy menu files in the step above. I then copy the VTS_01.x.xxx and the VTS_02_x.xxx files into directory A. I open VIDEO_TS that was created during the strip and was put in directory A. I select get vts sectors and it corrects the ifo's. It appeared to work when I tested it using Play DVD in IfoEdit. After exiting from playing it again tells me that titles 1, 4, and 5 were played but when I try to create the image file, it only creates a 10MB image. When I look at the image with ultra iso, I see that the image that was created did not include any of the VTS_05_x.xxx files. If I try to create it using RecordNow Max I get this error:
Job 1 Error: Host:2 ID:0 Sony DVD RW DRU-500A Stopped because of VIDEO_TS or AUDIO_TS DVD format error

Am I completely off-base here or is it something simple? Any useful advice would be greatly appreciated.

Windows XP SP1
DVD Decrypter 3.1.4.0
IfoEdit v0.95
ImgTools v0.89
RecordNow Max 4.50

After stumbling along and hybridizing some of the guides I managed to get the imgtool to create an image and i got it burned. When the movie starts it goes to the main menu. When I select play movie I get a green screen and the dvd player locks up. I cycle the power on the player and at the main menu I go to the scene selection and select the first scene and it starts playing with no problems. What could cause this green screen? A bad address pointer in the ifo files or a block that maybe didn't decrypt?

Are you using a PS2? If so, I've heard other people complain about a green screen... not sure what that's about, but maybe it's hardware related.

The PS2 Green Screen problem seems to come part way through the movie. You get to a point where a standard DVD player may just "glitch" bt the PS2 will go into a "green screen" mode or even just lock up.
