Is there a way to generate an IFO file for a single set of linear VOBs?

[FredThompson]

DVDShrink just killed itself after creating VOBs from a homemade set of originals. It's one long, continuous program. All I'd like is the resultant DVD to start the set and play the whole thing through.

There is a VIDEO_TS.VOB which is a single black frame a la 2Cool's guides.

VTS_01_1.VOB thru VTS_01_5.VOB were created (from admittedly out-of-spec originals forced through DVDAuthor) and are complete.

All I'd like is for the first play item to be VTS_01_1.VOB and play through all 5. Should be simple enough.

How could the appropriate IFO files be created? Is there a way to do this with IfoEdit?

Thank you, sir.

Nice new howto you have about aspect ratio menus.

OK, I followed that guide and now have IFO files. Woohoo!!

However, the program length is way off.

VTS_PGC_1 shows a playback time of 481 (00:00:01.21) which is way off. The source is about 5 hours of continuous source.

Is there a way to have IfoEdit scan the stream and set the proper length and timestamps and also create chapter points at specified intervals?

Fred,

I´ve just asked the same thing.

You can´t force IfoEdit to create chapter points but you can easily create your own "Celltimes.txt" and remaster your DVD.

Just write the frames # of the chapter points you want to a text file. I´ve written a small Delphi app that creates me automatically a chapter list based on the chapter interval I choose.
