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

After Shrinking, there is no change to the chapter times, so DVD Shrink does not totally mock strip, if at all. Proof of the pudding is in the playing, though - and they work!

However, when importing a VOB (Import VTST Titles, Import First-Play Clip, Import Title's Intro Clip, Import Title's Closing Clip, Import Menu), PgcEdit retrieves the tables in the original source IFOs. This means you may need to do a mock strip if the source DVD needs one too. Note that PgcEdit doesn't verify if a DVD needs a mock strip. Use DVDShrink for that purpose (as jsoto said, it's a good and fast test). Nero is also a good test. Quote:
The cell's durations are not computed from the VOB. This means that if a cell's time is wrong, the total time will be wrong too. So, my advice is: Do a mock strip when PgcEdit displays this warning, just to be sure.

@jsoto: How 'bout messing with the DVD with the other programs I mentioned above... Is that considered "dangerous" in this respect / does that call for a mock strip?
A question inspired by blutach's posts about vob sizes (bear with me, I'm a nOOb!): A mock strip should only change the .ifo files, right? And the .vob files, too? Last edited by CoNS; 22nd October 2004 at 10:17. |

Hello,
I drop in on this, because I am still struggling with a problem, I outlined in another thread. (about splitting and remerging episodal DVDs) Basically, I tried to remerge back two formerly blanked episodes into a DVD, using Vobblanker for the process. The matters are complicated, cause all 4 episodes are part of a single huge VTS_02 set, including the menues. After I remerge the two episodes, the disk behaves as before, as if the newly merged episodes are not there. This makes sense, since post commands had been changed to pre-commands during the initial blanking. (Can I change that back somehow?) I therefore tried to use the initial ifos along with a mock strip, but this turnes the DVD into something rather garbled. When playing, it almost immediatly loops a small part of the intro. Does anyone have an idea, what mistake I have made? Which files should I restore to origial status? EDIT: I just found that I could get the reassembled structure to play properly, when I exchange the Menu vob (VTS_02_0.VOB) with the original file. Perhaps this info could be of help in understanding, what goes wrong? Thanks for Help! Last edited by ux-3; 28th October 2004 at 14:35. |

I am new to trying this mock Stripping and was wondering what version your using 2COOl to write your tutorial, I am using 0.96 and " Strip Streams" is not even highlighted for me to click, but I notice that Dave 2003 does not use it?
Where do i find " check all " and " Strip it " I have looked everywhere ( probably just like the wife says it could jump up and bit me and I would not see it ). One other thing I notice no matter what dvd I open in IfoEditone one that works or one that does not it shows it as PAL format, this really is confusing me. Thanks in advance for your patience............scotty Takes this old man a bit longer most times............ |

first window will have all the audio and subs. if you have strip vobid's checked, the stream list for the vobs will pop up after you press the strip it in the first list window. press strip it again and ifoedit will start to strip. look here. mind you they don't have strip vobids checked so that window isn't shown.

pal to ntsc I've to say I never did it.
It's not so easy as a transcoder, but you will find help (if you need it) in DVD2SVCD forums. Just read the FAQs and ask. jsoto

I thought I'd add my two cents.
I first used Ifoedit a couple of days ago to convert DVD to a single layer disk, because frankly, dual-layer disks are for the rich at the present time. Needless to say, I made a garbled mess of it and tried PGCedit which I also failed with. The disk I had was apparently way more complex than any in the guides. Anyways in order to continue with my education I had to take some single layer DVDs off my HDD and burn to disk. I normally use ImgTool 0.91.5 and then Alcohol to burn. For one VIDEO_TS folder, however, I got the same error reported here (it figures, since it's a DVD my hapless friend made of another friend's band's performance) so I came to this thread. I tried 2COOL's method and it did not work for me. I did it a number of times, checking everything, trying to find something, until I was satisfied that I would have to find an alternative method. One thing I noticed about 2COOL's method for mock-stripping menus was that when un-checking "Correct Vob-Unit (Navigation Pack) pointers in VOB-files" that the "VOB expert options" become greyed out. I think it did not grey out the first time thru, but it was indeed greyed out when I went through on subsequent attempts. Luckily, however, jsoto posted an alternative which worked. It confuses me as to why because the method is only to save time by not having to copy and move around files, but it seemed to correct some other problem. It does seem different in that numerous options that were left unchecked by 2COOL are now checked in jsoto's method. Maybe there's something in that? So thanks guys for helping me with this problem. Oh... if mkisofs only reports an error with either faulty VIDEO_TS.IFO or VIDEO_TS.VOB sizes, can I just run the VTS files through another program to create completely new VIDEO_TS files? Because it seems like this is only a secondary fix here. I dunno, if jsoto hadn't posted his method that was what I was going to search for next. |

It is possible to generate new IFOs with IfoEdit. But it works only for simple DVDs, without menus.
First, backup your original IFOs and BUPs, then delete them from the original DVD. Launch IfoEdit, but don't load the DVD, and click on the Create IFOs button. Click on the "." button next to the 1st VOB of Titleset. Navigate to your original DVD and select VTS_01_1.VOB. Destination directory should be "same as source". The options at the top of the dialog should be set according to your needs. Since your DVD is probably only one title long, the defaults should be fine.
