Ok,
First, DVD-RB rocks! :) I've been using this program for about a month (after having used Big 3 occasionally) and I don't think I'll ever go back to Big 3.
Now, this movie. I know it's been a bugger, and I'm not sure we're getting a clean build, even with RC4.
It doesn't pass the "Shrink test". That is, if DVD Shrink cannot read it, then I generally take that to mean that something isn't quite right. In fact, I usually pass a backup (however done) through DVD Shrink at No Compression just to clean things up before burning it.
Also, one thing I've noticed with DVD-RB output passed through DVD Shrink -- a lot of times, Shrink doesn't make any changes to the .IFOs and that means that DVD-RB's output is clean, and I have not seen that with other processes. Like I said, this proggie rocks!
Ok, more about the problem...
DVD Shrink v3.2 does not like DVD-RB's output for VTS_08 (the movie). It gives this error:
"Invalid DVD navigation structure"
I've tried both correcting the IFO files and the NavPacks with IfoEdit and it doesn't help.
Anyway, I was wondering what the thoughts were on this - thanks!
p.s. - Some tips:
Use DVD Shrink v3.0b5 for narrowing things down with a "Shrink test". That version allowed you to still open DVDs by individual .IFO file.
If you like to filter whatever output through Shrink as a prereq to burning, and the output does not need compressing, then make sure you select "No Compression". If you leave it at "Automatic", DVD Shrink may apply some minimal compression, and in some cases clobber some video. This is a bug that goes way back to v2.3 or earlier, I believe.
