View Full Version : Is there a better way to fix these DVDs?

When backing up "The Last Airbender"(Region 1, NTSC), I encountered some problems cleaning it up. When opened in PGCEdit, more than 60 title numbers were assigned to TTN1 in VTST4, where the main movie was TTN3. Additionally, there were several title sets that had no title numbers assigned because all 99 title numbers had already been assigned. It did not take much effort to reorder the title numbers so that TTN1 in VTST4 had all the highest title numbers in the DVD, however, at that point a cycle of saving and reopening the DVD to eliminate the title numbers, one by one, had to be repeated some 65 times to avoid as many warnings when PGCEdit opened the DVD.

I ran into the same thing when backing up "Ponyo" except the multiple title assignments were spread among three TTNs rather than one. "Iron Man 2" and "Prince of Presia: Sands of Time" also have this problem. All of the menu PGCs and the TTNs involved are easily made "uncalled", but deleting uncalled PGCs seems hazardous if warnings about the DVD structure are present when PGCEdit opens the DVD.

The fact that PGCEdit can handle and allow correction of this kind of a mess is impressive. I'm just looking for a procedure that's a little less tedious.

This is a question I would like to have an answer too.
Usually AnyDVD outputs these... DVDFab "repairs" these titlesets in most cases.
Try to use it as setarip suggested earlier.

AnyDVD was used on all of these. The latest copy of DVDFab I have is version 5 and I think it's up to version 8 now.

I'll give it a try and see what it does.

@TDaveJ

You can get a more current freeware version, referred to as "DVDFabHD" (Don't be misled by the name-it also handles DVDs)
