View Full Version : PGC size reference value not correct

I'm struggling with an unusual DVD structure. It wasn't backed up by me, I got it to correct it if possible.
It is the movie "Identity" PAL RC2, has ILVUs, main menu located in the VMGM in both English and Spanish, etc.
I managed to correct the wrong branching (for Theatrical cut and Extended version), and in fact it plays fine both with WinDVD and Mark's Tray Player.
This way my problem can be called "cosmetical".
To simply put it, the two PGCs of the main movie VTS (VTS2) looks less than 129 MB big (or should I say small) in DvdReMake! Originally they are around 4000 MB each, but because of branching 4100 MB total. Of course the size of VIDEO_TS folder is normal on HD, around 4460 MB.
Here is a link to a screenshot of how it looks when opened with latest DRM Pro: Id. DRM VTS2 size (http://erdoke.uw.hu/Pix/IdDRM.jpg)
:confused:
How can I fix this? Where is the size information stored (sector numbers seem to be OK). DvdReMake Pro exports it as it is, no errors occur. PGCEdit tells me when saving that VTS sectors are OK. IFOEdit fails creating new IFOs due to a "Synchronization problem".

THX in advance

Have you tried a IFOEdit's mock strip?

I do not know where DRM get the size info from. If you want to check, VobBlanker takes this info from VTS_C_ADT table (each ILV cell is repeated many times in this table).

Just tried it, same results. Plays fine with the above mentioned software players and in my standalone too (burned an RW). But DRM shows 450 MB size for all the movie and 129 MB for the movie VTS.
DVDShrink doesn't even open it, says 'Invalid data in file VTS_01_1.vob'. The main movie is VTS2. :confused:
If I override the initial warning message in VObBlanker and mark VTS2 to Process (default is Skip due to the ILVUs), it shows the right size.

THX for your help!

Well, it seems that DvdReMake has some isuue this time, because the next movie is 415,55 MB, another one is 933,89 MB. Both are above 4 GB in fact...
I will stick to the DRM official forums, but post the results here too.
THX for the help.

DVDShrink doesn't even open it, says 'Invalid data in file VTS_01_1.vob' Try a IFOEdit's mock strip, but in VTS_01. Seems this is a different problem.

Thanks jsoto, but Dimad figured out that I was the problem in the system. :)
The size was OK, just the size column was overlapped by the Domain column, this way hiding the thousand digit of every movie size...
Stupid issue, I was too tired last night to think clearly. :o
To look the bright side of this, at least I learned how to do an IFOEdit mock strip. :D

THX again.
