Error during rebuild causing "DVDFILES" and created ISO differ in size

[EvilAaron]

I am getting the following error during rebuild.
"ERROR: File: VIDEO_TS.VOB is not correctly sized on sector boundary. ABORTING"

When I click ok DVD RB Pro begins creating ISO. The "DVDFILES" folder is correctly sized at 4.30GB but the ISO is 6.86GB. Odd thing is if I mount ISO in image drive and rip files result is 4.30GB.

So no biggie I just burn the DVDFILES... plug them into Nero and I get a compliance error "File size is not a multiple of a logical block size (2 KB) the resulting DVD Video may not be playable"

DVD is "Freedom Downtime disc 1" Note that I have pre-processed the source with "menushrink" to cut the almost 1GB menu down (hard DVD to fit to DVD-5, 4 hours of content and 800MB menu). I plan on trying again tonight with virgin source files and just slideshow or hack down the bitrate of the the menu in DVD-RB's wonderfull new "viewer/editor".

Odd though because in the past I have used Menushrink many many times and never had such issues. Anyone smarter then me ;) have an idea what I am doing wrong? Any hints or tips that may save me from having to encode this film many more times :D

Another note the resulting DVD if I go ahead and burn it works in 2 of my 3 DVD players, so I guess its not a huge issue just a mystery I want to resolve for sanity sake.

Welcome to doom9 EvilAaron.

Given you have menushrunk it, why did you re-encode the menus? Maybe untick menu encoding and try again.

Is there any file in DVFDFILES that is not exactly a multiple of 2k?

On a DVD all files have to be sized to a 2K boundary. It isn't an option and it had to have been so on the original.

If DVD-RB is telling you this it means somehow that file got corrupted either through the rip or via editing.

thx for the replies guys. Sorry I havnt checked back but I just rebuilt my PC and due to work havnt gotten online as fast as I should have.

I redid the above encode without menu shrink and it worked out fine (suprise suprise lol) cept for being mildly oversize but I think this was due to pushing the overall output size to close to max. Finally have all needed software installed so will be giving it another go this weekend (will be fun to see how much faster my new AMD 3500 64 and new MoBo and encodes it :D was using Athlon 2200 before).

Thx for the heads up on me forgeting to disable menu encoding after using menu shrink. This could quite likely be the problem due to fact last time I used menu shrink with success menu recoding wasnt in DVD-RB yet.

I rather like the new editor and menu recode option together thus tempting me not to use menu shrink anymore. Only thing missing is the ability to choose to still frame of choice for certain menus ontop of the current slideshow and blank options. Is this a possibility in the future?
