Hi Jet,
When you strip the VOB's Ifoedit writes them to a new directory. If you ripped the 'whole' disc the VIDEO_TS.*** files will still be in the original directory. Once you have used the DVD play in Ifoedit to see what you need to keep - you must manually copy over the other files into the new directory.
Then try to DVDplay again with the ripped files. If you are keeping the Menu then you need to open VIDEO_TS.IFO. This should then play like a normal DVD. If it checks out O.K. run get VTS sectors and burn away. Hope this helps,

Happy Ripping.

Best to use Smart-Ripper as per the guides.
