DVDRB Error "Error Reading IFO"? What does it mean?

[nooner6]

When I click on "Source" for the movie folder, DVDRB gives me an error condition "DVD Rebuilder experienced an error reading IFO.[19:52:24] 00032 00006" What does this mean? I load DVD Shrink and Shrink loaded the whole movie without problem.

That means that DVD-RB found something corrupt when attempting to read the file. Not sure if this is what you're seeing, but one of the recent methods of protection seems to be creating an entire VTS that contains nothing but garbage (including the IFO).

I've made some changes for the next version... it recognizes non-referenced material and acts accordingly.

Thanks Jdobbs. The movies I tried are Matrix Revolution and Star Wars II that I have. I wanted to tried see if there's any speed improvement using a Dual Xeon with HT on DVDRB. I started with Star Wara and I ran into the "Error". I then deleted Star War and re-rip it with DVDFAB Decrypter instead of DVD Decrypter. But I still got the same error. So I deleted Star Wars and grab Matrix II and I got the same error when I point "Source" to where the movie is after Ripping with DVD Decrypter. I though may be something is corrupting the IFO file too. So I open DVD Shrink see if Shrink will have the same problem. But Shrink load the whole movie without a problem. This really puzzles me.

Hm...I have two systems. One with US HomeEdition XP installed let's call this one PC1. The other one has Chinese XP SP2 installed let's call it PC2. The one I am having trouble is with Chinese XP SP2 installed which is PC2. DVDRB does not have this ERROR on the US XP OS which is PC1. I copied the movie which works on on PC1 to PC2 and DVDRB still has this Reading IFO error. Could this be OS dependent? Is it possible that DVDRB only works on US XP OS? The Chinese XP is very similar to US XP except that it also displays Chinese Characters correctly. The same movie Rip on US XP appears exactly the same on the Chinese XP. Any thoughts?

If you use DVD-RB on a computer that is configured for Asian languages you have to set "Language for non-Unicode Programs" in the "Regional and Language Options" advanced tab to a Western language (e.g. English).

Normally though, that will show itself as an error immediately upon startup of DVD-RB.

In the Region and Language option, I picked "English(America)". Now the error changed to Runtime Error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument. I guess I better not run this on a OS other than English.

The latest ripper, RipIt4Me (http://www.ripit4me.org/) automatically takes care of these unreferenced titlesets and other garbage being placed on ARccOS/Ripguard DVDs.

It is the most advanced and compliant ripper out there and it costs not a dime.
