IFOUpdate: ERROR The new IFO file has more cells than the original

[cartewn]

I'm trying to backup a music DVD of Robbie Williams (What we did last summer, live at Knebworth). It has one VTS with 4 PGC's.
Because the first three PGC's all use the same cells, I tried to follow this guide:
Finding Nemo - removing duplicate VOB IDs explained (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/Eyes_Duplicate_PGC_Guide_to_Finding_Nemo.htm)
There are a few (small?) differences between my project and the one in the guide; The cells are in a "normal" order in my project and I only have one VTS.

When I try to update the IFO file with IFOUpdate, I get this error: "ERROR The new IFO file has more cells than the original. ABORTING". I checked and both IFO files seem to have 21 cells. However, the original has vobid1 cells 1-19, vobid2 cell 1 and vobid3 cell 1 and the new file has vobid1 cells 1-21.

My IFO files: original (http://www.netstation.nl/ifo-original.txt) and authored (http://www.netstation.nl/ifo-authored.txt)

Do I need to add two tracks (that are identical to the existing one I guess) to get the extra vobid's or is there some other problem?

Welcome to the forum!

It seems your original and authored IFO looks the same to me.

It seems your original and authored IFO looks the same to me.

It seems to me that they are completely different.

I did that backup the two days ago, and it's perfect.

On your original DVD you have 4 PGC's and 3 VOB ID.
VOB ID 1 is the concert
VOB ID 2 is the credits part
VOB ID 3 is the "thanks a lot, knebworth, bla, bla..." that you can see after de credits part.

1. I ripped with dvddecrypter by VOB ID
2. In Scenarist, i created 1 PGC with the main concert (VOB ID=1)+ credits (VOB ID=2) + VOB ID=3
3. Then i copied this PGC created the other two by pasting it
4. I created the 4th PGC with the content of VOB ID=2 (credits).

then you only have to compile the whole thing, IFOUPDATE etc, as usual.

and voilá

I ran into the same problem with Boogie Nights (R1 re-release). I ended up having to recreated the layout exactly the same in Scenarist and doing a standard IfoUpdate. Even when the layouts were exactly the same Adjusted Cell mode would say the new Ifo had more Cells than the original.

I'm re-encoding for quality issues, so I haven't tested a burn in a standalone. But testing with PowerDVD looked good. Menus, chapters, special features that used shared cells, they all played fine.
