DVD that kills IfoEdit and IfoUpdate

Looks like there's something wrong with your VTS VOB file though. I have no idea, what could be wrong.

It was ripped using DVD Decryptor 3.1.3.0 in File mode - There were no errors, and DVD2AVI seems to like it OK, and I'm able to extract the audio tracks and the subtitles, as well as play the whole movie using the d2v file in TMPGEnc. Not saying there's not something wrong with the VOBs, but seems like it's built in to them, rather than an error introduced along the way.

I'm buning that next! I had no problem with it... I'll let you know how it comes out in about 1.5 hours SEE (IT WORKS............!)

Same tools? Did you use DVDDecryptor, or smartripper (or something else to rip it). Did you use IfoEdit or IfoUpdate, so that you know they don't crash? This would be no problem if I just wanted to do my own menus and pieces, but I'm trying to do a full backup with all the trimmings and menus(except for extra trailers and stuff). Are you doing a full backup or just burning the movie - cause just burning the movie is no problem - I can do that - it's trying to strip and IFOUpdate that are causing the problem.

Just got done, & plays fine on my set top box friends are watching back up right now.......!

OK, here's the deal - IF you choose "Correct IFOs", but don't choose "create new IFOs", you WILL crash. I've done this with 3 different computer systems, running 2 different OS's with both SmartRipper and DVDDecryptor. They all crash correcting the IFO. But if I "create new IFOs" (which I don't think is what I want to really do, given that I want everything to work in the original - I lose the original Menu Unit this way) I don't crash and everything completes normally. I think this is why "crow" works - his method, from the posts I've read is to strip the movie using create new IFOs to burn a backup.

quinn if you don't check create new .ifo's & stripp streams checked ifoedit won't create new .VOB's which means, on some DVD's you'll end up with A relocation error when you try to burn. (2k) (2047) blocks...... Note: The method you use ripp to HD can effect this also... Good luck..

Yes- there's the complete DVD in the source folder, video_ts.ifo, bup, all the VOBs, the works. The crash is definitely after the VOBs have been created - I'm not positive about the VOBUnit pointers. I'm going to see if I can get any good info out of the crash information. Possibly try to get debug info from MS VC++. I'll let you know if I get any useful debugging information.

I'd like to see the IFO so I can see what causes the crash.

@quinn Attached is a new version of IFOUpdate (v0.54). The error occured when IFOUpdate encountered a PGC that had 0 cells associated with it. I can't for the life of me see why there would ever be a need for a PGC with no content... but obviously I should have at least considered the possibility. jdobbs
