End sector doesn't match file size ERROR ?

[apfraats]

Ì'm just a newby an came across a really bad authored commercial DVD.

The main movie is flagged 4:3 in the VIDEO_TS.IFO and its correspondenting VOB.IFO.

So I used IFOedit to load VIDEO_TS.IFO, changed the correct VTS from 4:3 to 16:9 and saved it INTO THE SAME DIRECORY OVERWRITING THE OLD ONE !

(It's already gone through DVDshrink, so i always could return to original)

Then I used Ifoedit to load the corresponding VOB.IFO and also set the 4:3 flag again to the 16:9 setting.

But the problem is everytime that I get the error:

END SECTOR OF IFO DOESN'T MATCH FILESIZE !

When I just ignore this and play the DVD with POWERDVD indeed the correct aspect ratio (16:9) is now used. But what about the error I get ???

I always seems to get this error. I always ignore it.

But what's happening here ?

I use the latest version of Ifoedit, just downloaded V0.971

Thx in advance...

See this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=98933), on the same problem.

I looked at the thread, but still having the same error.
As mentioned in that thread too....

The problem IFO is not a VTS IFO but the VIDEO_TS.IFO !

Want I really want is 'something' to fix this error in VIDEO_TS.IFO.

It's strange that Ifoedit detected the problem, but as far as I know don't offer you the possibility to rebuild a VIDEO_TS.IFO in any way, even if you have all VTS_XX.IFO's present.

Any aother suggestion ?

Even DVD-REMAKE won't fix the VIDEO_TS.IFO, but also doesn't report an error.

DVDSHRINK doesn't rebuild the IFO even with no compression en re-encoding.

All the output of these programs still contains the error in VIDEO_TS.IFO.

Maybe a bug in IFOedit ??

Programs have no problem with the DVD. Even not POWERDVD.

Playing back a burned RW-DVD is no problem at stand-alone players I tried.

How to fix this ? Should I try to fix it at all ???

The original output of DVD-DECRYPTER already conatins the error too.
And DVD-DECRYPTER is always OK as far as I know (file-mode extraction)

Thx.

It's difficult to identify the problem without the IFOs. Send them to me, and I will see what I can do.

The problem IFO is not a VTS IFO but the VIDEO_TS.IFO !Same thing with Craz's problem. See my answer here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=701228#post701228).

BTW, the correct method to compute the value of Last Sector of VMGI is:(Number of KB in VIDEO_TS.IFO / 2) - 1Try to fix this value manually, save, and Get VTS Sectors. If you still have the problem, let me know.
... or simply load the DVD in PgcEdit, and save it back.

Too be simple (as I am) I just run the complete DVD through DVD-REBUILDER-PRO without compression.

The IFO now is ok.

Today was my first day using Ifoedit, and it's not a very user friendly tool.
PGCedit i'm totally unfamiliar with.

Have red that Pgcedit can completely mess up youre IFO-files if there is something wrong with it.

So I do the DVD-RB-thing and it works for now.

Just have too learn lots more of IFOedit.

Any suggestions were I can Find a good manual or so ?

Thx.

Have red that Pgcedit can completely mess up youre IFO-files if there is something wrong with it. Where did you read that? Although there was some bugs, now hopefully fixed, I haven't seen such assumption since I started to write PgcEdit.

You're as calm as your picture

I red it in the other tread about 'end dector not matching file size'.

I was nog saying PGedit messed them up by default , but someone there gave the warning that IF THE IFO'S ARE ALREADY WRONG PGCedit can mess them even even more, trying to correct an already wrong IFO.

So, I didn't give that a try.

Look at the other thread for more info.

It not have my own experience with PGCedit, because I didn't even used it.

Maybe I should take a look at the programm, but I was scared of about the warning issued.

No offense ment here, but just was holding of PGCedit, cause I knew I had an already not OK IFO and I didn't want it to be 'messed up'.

I just want a simple tool that is able to correct the most general errors in an IFO file. I fon't now if PGCedit is capable of that, although it is advised to use now and then.

It is theorically possible to destroy a table if the IFO is not correctly build. But now, I have developed enough railings to be pretty sure it doesn't happend. PgcEdit is now very stable.

I just wanted to warn the user: when an error occur when loading a DVD, either in IfoEdit or in PgcEdit, it is always necessary to test carefully after the save. One good way to test is with DVDShrink, or simply by reloading the DVD in PgcEdit.
