Strange error with VobBlanker

[Somebla]

Hello,
I usually use VobBlanker to replace a certain cell with another.
Now, in the last DVD I was editing, when I opend the IFO (with VobBlanker) I got the following error:
"ERROR: Referenced Menu empty or does not exist in VTS 04"
And it didnt load the DVD.

This DVD is a rip from a DVD9 so it could fit on a DVD5.
So there is only a VTS_04_0.IFO without any vobs attached to it, thats my guess for the problem.

Anyone got a suggestion ?

Thanks :)

How did the VOB files disappear? Are you sure your DVD will be able to work without it? Maybe you can still load it in PgcEdit, then blank the whole VTS4 menu and the whole VTS 4 title. This will create the missing files and maybe vobblanker will be able to open it then...

The VOBs were ripped, as I said the DVD was ripped from a DVD9 to DVD5 so I had to cut a few thing to make the DVD fit.
Along with VTS_04 VTS 9,10,11,12,13,14 & 15 are without VOBs. (i'm forgot to mention in the first post, sorry.)

I didnt quite understand you, how do I blank VTS 04 (and the rest I guess)? I have never used PgcEdit.

Thanks again.

Well, I'm not sure how you did that! "was ripped from a DVD9 to DVD5 so I had to cut a few thing to make the DVD fit". It sounds like you just deleted the vob files, is that right?
You can't just delete the VOB files and hope for the best. In most (all!) cases this would give you a completely unplayable DVDs. You need to use tools to do that (i.e. get rid of all the stuff you don't want).
Does your DVD play, the way it is, in say, PowerDVD??

Anyway, if you simply deleted the files there's still a chance you can fix your DVD. Load the DVD in PgcEdit. Then, on the left side you can see the PGCs for the menu domain (VTSM) and for the title domain (VTST).
Go to the VTS that are missing (for example 4). Right click on the line "VTSM 4, LU 1" and select "Blank out all menu PGCs". Say OK. THen go to a line that says "VTST 4," (any line), right click and select "Blank out all VTST titles". Do that for all VTS that are missing. PgcEdit will create tiny VOBs for them and adjust the data in the IFO. Then save. This might be enough to save things. Then try loading with Vobblanker...

The new utilitiy, blank out all titleset VOBs in PgcEdit5.6B1 coud have been used to great effect here.

Somebla, I guss you have learned that you will need to rip all files in the future and blank what you don't want :)
