Bridge..River Kwai is in two parts. Can I combine into one?

[Maine]

The bridge on the River Kwai is on one disc, but is actually in two parts. The first part is labeled VTS_01_0.IFO, with corrrespondng VOB files, the second starts with VTS_03_0.IFO. How do I work with this setup. I can not find an appropriate guide, ofcourse I might be missing it in one of the guides even though I have looked. Please either point me in the right direction or help me combine this in order to put this movie on a DVD-R.

Thank You,

Are you absolutely certain of this? I've never seen an authoring program split an asset into a differnt VTS file like that. I would suggest loading the VOB's into DVD2AVI and stepping through the movie to make sure. Somehow I doubt that is really the case. If it is, the best suggestion I could give you would be to do some video editing in Adobe Premiere.

Animes do this all the time. The way around this is to copy vts_1_1 set and vts_3_1 vob files into same directory and rename them.

vts_1_1, vts_1_2 and so on... Then use ifoedit to create ifo files.

I am sure that it is split in two parts. There are 18 Chapters in the firt VOB sequence and I think 22 chapters in the second. I will try Adobe Premier, but I have never used the program and I am not sure what to do.

Yup, I just finished transferring Bridge to 2 DVD-R's, so I know that chapter/title situation. You could always rip each chapter/title, then combine them with VOBEDIT (using the Join function), then process the combine results.

Separate Video Title Sets are often (though not necessarily) an indication of different encoding parameters having been used for different contributing source files, esp. audio. Certain authoring applications also do this where the original authorer (person) decided to build the project with separate movies, rather than one long movie with chapter markers. For example, Maestro automatically creates separate VTSs in similar instances, unless one is using a build later than 2913, and has forced manual VTS allocation in the project settings. It is surprising how often MPEG parameters are mixed, within a project, even with Hollywood productions from the major studios. I believe DVD-2-AVI (certainly USED TO have) has discussion of these anomalies in it's readme file.


Arky ;o)

Can you explain to me how to Join the VOB files using VOBEdit. Thank you so much for your help?

forget it I found it it. However, I now have 126 chapters. Yikes. I checked and along the way, somehow the CellIds were used as the chapters instead. How do I make sure this does not happen?
