aspect ratio problems/playback pauses

[thecrock]

I use diko to convert to dvd and it gives me back an iso image and a video_ts folder containing .ifo, .vob, .bup files, when i burn back the iso file with decrypter everything works well but sometimes it is nesessary to edit the ifo files with ifoedit to set the video flags. I do this and then create an iso with folder2iso and burn back with decrypter, when i do this my movie jumps where the vobs would meet on the disc. I used imgtool burn to put the vobs into a nero image and burned with nero, this time the burned disk played back with part of the left and right of the screen missing, this also happens when i use vsocopytodvd to burn.

So my problem in a nutshell is this.
1) I can alter video flags,create an iso(folder2iso) and burn with decrypter. Result: Disc jumps but has correct aspect ratio.

2) Alter video flags, create image with imagetool burn, burn with nero. Result: Video is in wrong aspect ratio.

3) Alter video flags, burn vobs to disc with vso copytodvd. Result: Video is in wrong aspect ratio.

I don't have to manually adjust the flags on the movie i am currently working on but i have another movie file that i will need to correct and so i need to resolve this issue.

In imagetool burn the file system flags ticked are UDF and ISO 9660, JOLIET and MODE2 are left unchecked, if that helps, though i doubt it.

hmmm.... i know i might be stating the obvious, but after altering the .ifo, and saving it, did you run 'get vts sectors' before closing ifoedit?

in addition (not that i think it will make much difference) but personally i prefer to use imgtool classic to create the .iso then burn with dvd decypter ... but as i said, i doubt it would affect the result ...

you may also want to try pgc_edit to alter the aspect ratio flags, and from there create your iso to burn with dvd decrypter.

No jel, i thought i could just open up the ifo's, edit and save, then create an iso, i will do a search but in the meantime, what is 'get vts sectors'.

EDIT

I solved the problem by using vobmerge to join the vob files into one big file and then used folder2iso to create an iso image and burned with decrypter. No more jumpy playback.

Thanks for the input jel. Peace.
