Problem Merging/Combining Titles (VobEdit/IfoEdit)

[TooNice]

I am trying to combine two titles into one. To recap what I have done that:

1. Join VTS_01_[1-3].VOB and VTS_02_[1-3].VOB using VobEdit.
This gave me 6 new VOB but as far as I can tell, the VOB are joined correctly.

2. Used InfoEdit to create a new IFO for the new VOB (default settings).
2a. Edited the headings for Audio/Subtitles
2b. Copied the subtitles setting from original IFO to fix the green font.
2c. Under VOB extras, I unticked "AutoCopy menu-files to destination". DVDShrink did not like it if I do not do that.

Unfortunately, when playing the content of the folder, it would get stuck where it is supposed to move to the next VOB. I seek past it (though it's sometime stalls my player if I seek near those parts) but that's not a proper solution. Am I missing something?

I am now trying by creating a massive VOB using copy /b, but IfoEdit gives me an error (in German?) during the process that follows after I untick "AutoCopy menu-files to destination" so I can't load to DVDShrink. I am now trying FixVTS, but it has now gone to over 700% and it's not done yet leaning me to think there is a major problem..

I'd do it differently. Load all the 6 VOBs in the correct order into DGIndex. Then File->Create Project and Demux Video. That will give you joined audio, joined video, and a D2V project file you can delete. The subs will have to be either in SUP format or SST format and already joined. Use Muxman for the authoring. Load the video and audio, give it an output folder and hit 'Start'. Allow it to create the VIDEO_TS folder.

Or take the VOBs you already joined and demux them before reauthoring with Muxman. You'll have to be correct, though, that it joined them properly in the first place. VOBMerge is probably a better tool for joining VOB files.

There's a chance the second part will become out of synch but you can cross that bridge when you come to it.

Thanks, I'll try your suggestions next time. It is amazing how there are so many ways / apps to use when it comes to manipulating videos :)
It seems that my problem was caused by the VOB not joining properly. I eventually tried DVD2one to merge and that created a massive VOB that played nicely after I made the IFO for it. DVDShrink (which I used just to re-split the VOB into 1GB chunks) didn't complain either.
