dvd rebuilder error message

[lericain]

I was trying to loead this video-vts file in DVD rebuilder but it gave me this message:
"Warning: this material contains multiple angles and/or interleaving and is not supported in this version of DVD-RB. Aborting"
I was using DVD-RBv0.41.
Any suggestions?

hi lericain and welcome to the forums!

At present (although planned for future releases) DVD-RB does not support DVDs that contain angles and ILVUs (interleaved video units) aka as 'seamless branching'.
it would be a worthwhile excercise to read up on a few of the basics:DVD Basics (http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/dvd-basics.htm) to gain a clearer understanding on DVD structure.

as for suggestions?
you could try one of the many different techniques avaliable to compress your DVD (given the complexity, i would highly recommend DVDshrink for this title), or you could wait until jdobbs provides support for these titles ... although that may take a while. i suggest you read up on all things "DVD-RB" related in the forum.
DVD Rebuilder (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=75)

good luck

thanks for the informations. How do you know if the DVD has angles and/or interleaving video units?

well one way would be to run the dvd in question through dvd-rb and see if you get an error message :sly:
another option would be to use Ifoedit (an amazing freeware tool) to open each VTS_0* .ifo from the dvd and check the layout to see if there is documented 'angles' and 'ILVUs'.
hope that helps
