Chapter problem - please help

[4point8gig]

Dear all

I am no expert when it comes to taking backups of my DVD's however I've been very successful apart from one so far "Austin powers 2"


First of all I used smart ripper to rip the entire image to hard disk.

Secondly I ran Ifoedit and just kept the streams i needing using the wonderful Vobextras function.


Once streamed I was left with a folder containing the following files :-


VIDEO_TS.BUP 20k
VIDEO_TS.IFO 20K
VTS_06_0.BUP 80K
VTS_06_0.IFO 80K

VTS_06_0.VOB 147,928K
VTS_06_1.VOB 1,048,356K
VTS_06_2.VOB 1,048,190K
VTS_06_3.VOB 1,048,194K
VTS_06_4.VOB 142,880K


If I click on any of the vob files then power DVD will automatically start playing these fine, infact I watched the entire film this way.

my concern is .... normally before I burn as a safty coaster measure I launch power DVD and select the option to open up the DVD files from my hard disk.

I then select the VIDEO_TS.IFO , but unfortunatly for this particlar rip I encountered an error code
80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.


I then launched IFOEDIT and opened the VTS_06_0.IFO and tried to DVD play the film but am presented with an error get number of chapters failed.

I just wondered if there are any fixes for this or if its possible to recreate the chapters file, would love to know what i'm doing wrong.


machine spec - this may help :-
I'm running xp pro on a 3 gig P4 and using a pioneer 104 writer, smart ripper and ifoedit are at present version.

Hope someone can help me , thanks in advanced :)

and now for some real help. First of all let's determine what kind of rip you want to make... movie only, or movie with extras. If you just care about the main movie you should've selected "create ifos" when you used vobextras, that would create new ifo files and on those files all you have to do is load one in ifoedit, press get vts sectors and you're ready for burning (and that disc will work both in your standalone and powerdvd). For more detailed instructions with images check out the ifoedit movieonly guide: http://doom9.org/mpg/ifoedit-menustripping.htm
If you want to keep menus and extras the process is more complicated. Basically you will need to copy every titleset that's being used for the stuff you want to play back. Generally it's a good idea to keep all IFO/BUP and VTS_xx_0.VOB files (they contain menus and navigational information). If you want to keep some extras, remove extras, remove whole titlesets there are two guides which explain this in more details: the basic ifoedit guide: http://doom9.org/mpg/ifoedit-basic.htm which explains how to keep and remove certain extras and to transcode the main movie, and the layer stripping guide which explains you how to remove a whole VTS set: http://doom9.org/mpg/ifoedit-advanced.htm

did you select get vts sectors prior to burning and did you try the dvd play option in ifoedit , if it plays with ifoedit ,it should be a good dvd , after stripping the dvd streams you must then open up the new video_ts.ifo file and select get vts sectors and click ok a few times :)
