Folks,

Need someone to help me in understanding some basics, as I got stuck on this: I have a DVD, which has one VTS title set, but four PGC-s in it. When trying to back-up it with either DVD2One or DVDXCopy, both programs show the individual PGC-s, as they were separate VTS title sets, consequently, cannot perform the wished back-up. I have some foggy memories, that IFOEdit might correct this some way, but could not find the source of it.

I am attaching the VTS_01_0.IFO file for reference, may someone give me the advice how to overcome this problem.

Thanks in advance
Regards

P.S.: I have successfully made a back-up of this DVD with the DVD2AVI-IFOEdit-CCE-Scenarist-IFOUpdate method, after having another type of problem in DVDMaestro (details in this thread: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44718).

This back-up is already working 99,99% fine, the only problem is, that the audio is still out of sync: strange enough it is slower in the beginning, fair enough in the middle, but faster at the end of the movie. It is probably because the original being an extreemely long (4 hours) material, and the AC3 streem seems to be about 15 frames shorter, than the video, for some reason. I see no point in decoding a 4 hrs AC3 to WAV, fix skew (15 frames on 360000 makes 0,004% skew!), and reencode to AC3 - so I am kind of curious, if I can make a 2DVD back-up without recompression, or a fast recompressed DVD-5 with the two tools mentioned in the subject, without this hassle.
[pretty long P.S. - apologize for that...]

Attached two screenshots for better visualizing the problem

IFOEdit can create a single PGC. Open IFOEdit and click "Create IFOs". You then have the option to "Create 1 PGC only". Use the new IFOs for the backup software of your choice and it should solve your problem.
