I recently got this error when trying to burn using Nero Express. When i ignored the error and went ahead with the burn, the resulting video would come to a crawl and speed back up throughout the whole show. I have done an extensive search on the error but have come up with peanuts.

IFOEdit seemed to pop up a lot in most of my searches. Has anyone else had this error, or know of a fix using this or any other tool?

Here is the log:

This sounds like something more than a simple case of the two files not matching - the slowing-down and speeding-up suggests that the DVD authoring/ripping application has not created the DVD-video files properly...

Try re-authoring/ripping the video and try burning again

All i have is the video files on my harddrive. No original DVD.

Is there a way to re-author the files?

@Nomah it could just have been a doddgy disc, to save wasting another use nero to burn the video_ts folder to a iso image if that works then burn the image to a disc.

you can use dvd shrink to re-author the film ie:- if its a bad file in the extras you could re-author just the film.

acko, it's not the discs as i have made 3 thus far and it bogs down and speeds up in the same exact same places on each disc.

VIDEO_TS.BUP is an identical copy of VIDEO_TS.IFO. If the DVD player cannot read information from the VIDEO_TS.IFO, it will attempt to get the required information from this backup file. This file is required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc.

Happens sometimes ripping dvd's. Since VIDEO_TS.IFO is the original file, look to the backup VIDEO_TS.BUP. Usually it's the .BUP file that's messed up, you will know by comparing the file-size to the .IFO. My backup file was always the bad one whenever I came across this error. If this is the case simply erase VIDEO_TS.BUP, make a copy of VIDEO_TS.IFO and paste it to your desktop. Now, rename it to VIDEO_TS.BUP and place it back in it's original folder.
