In my journey to exploit all the knowlege in this forum and to learn to manipulate all the software and utilities, I have read many times that before burning a DVD one should open IFOEdit and "Get VTS" before burning. People report not being able to play their burned DVD's on various players and drives while being able to play them on others. For example, "I can play my DVD in PowerDVD but not WinDVD," or "It plays fine on the PC but not on the stand alone player."
For these examples someone will post a reply that suggests, "Open your files in IFOEdit and "Get VTS." Invariably, the follow-up post is, "Thanks. It works great."
This situation seems to occur with a number of burning softwares after the DVD is manipulated or authored--even just ripped--again using differing softwares. My conclusion is, then, that some softwares which compile the VOB's and generate the IFO's "do something squirrely" (I know that this is a highly technical description of the results;) ). I've been using DVDLab and Nero 6 for my testing and one thing I noticed is a screen of vertical grey bars just before anything starts to play either on the PC or the player.
What, exactly, does IFOEdit do to eliminate this "squirreliness."
It is getting close to the time for me to burn my first masterpiece, thanks to many in this forum, and I fully intend to manipulate the IFO's before I burn. I would just like to know what I'm doing, other than just clicking on a button in a program.
