something wrong with new IFO file

[anhvuitinh]

Hi,

I have some .vob music video files and try to burn it to a DVD-R disc.
The problem is the total file size is bigger than 4.35 GB.
Here is what I did to reduce the size.

. Chop off MC introduction with Chopper XP
. Use VobEdit v0.6 to link all .vob files together using "Join Clips" feature
. Use IfoEdit v0.96 to create new .IFO file

However, when I opened it with DVDShrink 3.2, I got the error "Invalid data in file...VTS_01_1.VOB. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress."

I tried "Get VTS Sectors" and saw some pointers corrected but Shrink still complained the same error.

Does anyone know what I did wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the forum!

Have you tried to do a mock strip on the VOB?

Thanks for your reply.
I am new with DVD authoring, so how can I do the mock strip you mentioned?

[r0lZ]

Load the IFO in IfoEdit, and use the menu VOB Extras/Strip Streams, uncheck AutoCopy menu-files to destination, and, when requested, keep all streams.
When done, copy the files created by the operation over the original ones, reload the IFO in IfoEdit and do Get VTS Sectors.
This will rebuild the VOB and fix the pointers in the IFOs.

As what to r0lZ said above. It was about time I wrote a guide on mock stripping as there are too many newbies asking about it. ;)
