How to Do a Mock Strip using IfoEdit

I cannot believe this....
A VOB file is made of 2048 byte sectors (called packs). You can join (in a binary way, of course) all of the files and split them between the two sectors you want, without affecting any pointer!!, neither internal nor the ones in the IFO . I think this is the efect you are seeing. So:
- Each file size MUST be a multiple of 2048 bytes
- The total file sizes MUST be the same than the originals.

After a mock strip, the new VOBs ARE multiple of 2048k, but each VOB is a different size from the original (1,048,574k). It seems the mock strip decides to change slightly the size of the VOBs and make up any difference in the last VOB of the VTS. Really, a reallocation of the total VTS size. I wonder why?

Still present in 1.5.0.6? I've to check, I was thinking I had fixed this (minor ) bug.

'Fraid so. Just a few frames here and there in SOME cells (not all). Not seconds, just 6 or so frames here and there. But they can add up. I've found it doesn't do any damage, though.

Strange as it seems, a mock strip brings all back into line with the originals . But it would be nice if a mock strip was not needed.


OAM:

I use AddChapter a lot and find it wonderful. However, there appears to be a minor bug. After using it and reopening the TTN for editing in PgcEdit, that program reports the playback time of the PGC doesn't match the total time of the chapters. And it is out by 12 frames . PgcEdit offers to fix it (and does so), but you might like to look into it.



Best regards and thanks
