Creating ifo from vob files

[fedge]

I was dumb and just ripped the movie with just its vob file, I was going to make an xvid.. howver I waitied a long time and decided to wait a tad longer(forgot to set the thing to render) then one day I decided to buy a new comp. This is a dvd from a friend (non copyrighted)...its not possible to get access to orginal dvd anymore. The vob files will play in power dvd--all by themselves. However I cant seem to make ifo files to burn this to a dvd5!!! I tried for hours to no avail.

There were orginally menus on the disk and such, things I ddnt copy.

You should use IfoEdit's create IFOs function, or demux all streams and remux them with muxman. Both methods will recreate the IFOs for you.

im going to try the muxman.. that is the ONLY thing i have not tried..

1) Start IfoEdit, and press the button 'Create IFOs'.
2) Leave the options like they are. Click on arrow to load "1st VOB of Title-set". Or just specify the first VOB file of your several VOB files. For example, VTS_02_1.VOB.
3) Next, we want to have the new IFOs in the same directory, so check the box: 'Same as source'.
4) Click OK. IfoEdit scans now the VOB files and collects all IFO-releated information.
5) After it has finished collecting all needed information from the VOB files, it creates two new IFO files. For example, VIDEO_TS.IFO and VTS_01_0.IFO.
6) Now we need to do some little modifications. Click on VTS_01_0.IFO, and you will notice that the audio and subpicture attributes doesn't have a language specified.
7) To change that, double click the audio-subpicture stream. Specify the language of this stream, and click OK.
8) Done for this IFO file. Because VIDEO_TS.IFO holds a copy of the title-set attributes, you need to do the same in VIDEO_TS.IFO. So select the VIDEO_TS.IFO in IfoEdit, and specify again the language for the two streams.


THose are the steps I did to make my dvd, but it just hangs and dont play and dvd shrink wont load it or anything.

IfoEdit has a bug when creating new IFOs. It doesn't correct the sectors after it's done. (more information here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=574912#post574912)) Do a Get VTS sectors afterwards. This might be the reason DVd Shrink has problems with analyzing the files.

Thanks for the info.. looks like you know what you are doing. But it still ddnt help my dvd SIGH>>>>>

DVD shrink is looking for VTS_01_1.vob There is nothing like that.

There has to be some crap I am missing....if the vobs play by themselves then there has to be a way to make the ifo files make them work!!! I thinks this-sa gonna taka me-a while.

rename the files to VTS_01_1.vob, VTS_01_2.vob, VTS_01_3.vob...
then make the new ifos with ifoedit(use v.971).
your movie must have been in title set 2 or another, other than 1 (the VTS_01 part)

IM NOT WORTHY!!!!

Sweetness you are genius... address my problem and knows what it is before i can even respond... viola the dvd works!!! YAH!!!!!!!

[sweetness]

no i'm not a genius. the other two are (r0lZ & 2COOL) i'm good a trouble shooting. sometimes. :D

just ripped the movie with just its vob file
the movie isn't always in the first title set. ie. VTS_03_1.vob

DVD shrink is looking for VTS_01_1.vob There is nothing like that
this is what gave it way. ifoedit made ifo's for the title set number for the file names. there was no VTS_01_1.vob so dvdshrink complained.

IM NOT WORTHY!!!!
yes you are. just need more time and research. and this is a very good place for that.

And to wrap it up, 2COOL, I don't believe that DVD Shrink requires a Get VTS Sectors to be done before loading, since it does its own afterwards.
