Get to 75% of the movie (in full disc mode) and I get the following error: 'Error adjusting the IFO file. It does not match with the VOB file'. What does this mean? I ripped the full DVD with both DVD Decrypter and Smart Ripper with the same result. Never had this before... help!

It appears that 1.1.1 is having problems with certain DVD's. I have a similar error message with Space Cowboys (Reg 1 NTSC). I posted about it during the morning madness of 1.1's release. Apparently that thread was deleted for some reason. DVD2one has a problem matching the .VOB with the .IFO file, then just stops everything and spits out the error message. I've spent a lot of time with various Decrypter's and IfoEdit trying to get it to work, no luck yet. Probably 'cause I've never used IfoEdit before. Three other Discs I've done have had no problems with the 'Full Disc' mode and came out rather nice

I am having the same problem with Star Wars Episode II, except that I get it as soon as I press the start button. It works fine in movie only mode, but I want the whole thing, that's why I bought DVD2ONE.

I am also experiencing this error near the end (99%) of "Last of the Mohicans". I have downloaded the latest version of 1.11 this morning. I repeated the process of DVD Decryptor and DVD2one twice with identical results.

Let me know if there is something you would like me to try to help determine the problem.

Well, I finally got Space Cowboys working. At least it appears to be working. Lot's of fun with IfoEdit. The 'problem' DVD2one was having was in the VOB set 1 which is a two chapter extra, and VOB set 3, also an extra. DVD2one was stopping after compressing VOB set 1 and not constructing the .IFO files.

In short, I used IfoEdit to make the IFO files for the VOB 1 that DVD2one had compressed. Then, I moved the new files into the original ripped files folder and ran DVD2one again. This resulted in VOB set 1 being compressed twice, but at least DVD2one made it all the way through to the end of VOB set 3, where it again stopped without creating the VOB 3 or VIDEO_TS .IFO files. I then copied the VIDEO_TS.IFO files from the original folder to the new folder and used IfoEdit to make files for VOB set 3 and update the VIDEO_TS.IFO files. Most everything worked except the menu access from the VOB set 1 extras. SOoooo, I copied the VOB set 1 IFO files from the original ripped folder to the compressed folder and updated with IfoEdit.
At least I THINK that's what I did...... Like I said, this is the first time I've used IfoEdit so PLEASE don't ask me any questions! Anyway,

The damn thing works, it's 4.29 GB, and I'm gonna burn it. Hopefully, the next release will fix this? Lottsa fun.....

I had a similar experience with "The Patriot".

I used Ifoedit to strip out unwanted audio and subtitles and got the error message at 99%.

I tried again, without Ifoedit, i.e. just using Dvd20ne in full disk mode and it worked fine.

Not quite what I wanted, but at least I got a copy of sorts !

Yes the same story in here.. with Mission Impossible 2 (PAL) and Con Air (PAL). It just hangs and windows gets an error message

In fulldisk mode

I have got the same problems when i use ifo edit for deleting unwanted subs and ac3..
So i stooped using ifo edit and all work fine for me.

I just want to clarify that the problems with 'Space Cowboys' was from an UNedited rip. I used TWO different Mac OS X Decrypter's and TWO different Windows Decrypter's and still got the same error with VIRGIN files (Untouched by IfoEdit). I must have ran DVD2one at least 8 times with the same error. I believe the first couple of people in this thread had the same problem. My guess would be there's something in the menu files that DVD2one can't handle. I only used IfoEdit when it became apparent that there was something wrong with the .IFO files. I was able to fix the problem using IfoEdit, not cause it. Just wanted to make sure I was clear

I tried another DVD, "Gladiator", ripping it with DVD Decryptor and trying to do a 1:1 copy with DVD2One. I repeated the entire process twice with the same "IFO" error at 99%. I have NOT done any preprocessing of the decrypted files before running DVD2One (version 1.11, re-downloaded 3/22/03).

My process is:
1.) Rip all files with DVD Decryptor
2.) Run DVD2One in "full disk" mode

It seems to be working for some here, but too many are having this same problem. Are we just unlucky in our choice of DVDs?

Previous versions of DVD2One worked fine for me. I was even able to do multiple sessions and extras using the various guides on this forum. So far "Last of the Mohicans" and "Gladiator" cannot be processed by DVD2One without the "IFO" error.

Renee, what is the author's perspective on this? Possible bug or user error?

Any help would be appreciated.

Don

My problem DVD was Spiderman (UK R2). It was an un-altered rip! Never had problems like it with any other DVDs. Funny thing is that this also fails with IC and DVD95Copy...

I tried "Gladiator". No problems whatsoever ! 1.1.1 works fine.

Thanks for the response, I was hoping someone would confirm (or not) the problem with Gladiator.

That is both encouraging and discouraging at the same time. I had no problem with Gladiator in "movie only" mode. But full disk gives the IFO error every time (for me).

Are you ripping with DVD Decryptor? If yes, what mode? (I am using file mode, selecting all files).

I do not what could be wrong.....it is a pretty simple process.

Open to any ideas.

Thanks,
Don

With so many variables at play here, i.e. Operating Systems in use, Hardware & Software configurations, PAL/NTSC, Memory/Hard Disk Capacity etc. etc., It might be a good idea if people ended their post with a short summary (example below).

It would then be easier to draw conclusions/eliminate certain aspects and may produce more useful responses.

What do others think ?

Athlon 2100+
512mb 2100 DDR Ram
80 GB HD ( 36gb free)
Windows XP Pro
DVD Decryptor v 3.1.4.0
Dvd20ne v1.1.1
UK/PAL Video

I used Smartripper 2.41 instead of DVD-decrypter. Also all files were selected. DVD2One 1.1.1 under full mode and disc 1 NTSC Gladiator was tested.

Athlon XP-2600+
512 MB DDR PC-2700
Win2K SP3
120 GB IBM 180GXP 7200 rpm
Anything else ?

In my case, I don't think it's hardware related as I'm running Win 98se in emulation. The error message I receive 95% of the time is "All files are needed for Full Disk..." What happens is DVD2one compresses the 'Extras' .VOB(s) without a problem, then it attempts to update the .IFO file for the .VOB(s) that it just completed. This is where it chokes.....

For those of you having 'MY' error, look at the files in the destination folder. You will see a .VOB(s) set (It will be the last .VOB set) that doesn't have a matching .IFO and .BUP file. In my case, I checked the .VOB(s) with the viewers MPlayer and VLC and found that it's complete, it's a compressed version of the original, it just doesn't have the .IFO/.BUP files. I've found that the easiest way to fix this is to copy the original .IFO/.BUP files over and use IfoEdit to 'Get VTS sectors', after all, that's what DVD2one was doing when it choked! Note that this apparently only happens to the 'Extra's' .IFO/.BUP files, DVD2one apparently doesn't have this problem with the 'Movie' .IFO/.BUP files. Also note that the last thing DVD2one does is to update the VIDEO_TS.IFO/.BUP files. Since it choked, it didn't make these files either. Again, copy the originals over and 'Get VTS sectors' with IfoEdit. That's how I got 'Space Cowboys' to work, unfortunately, this was the first DVD I tried with the 'Full Disk' mode, I've done 6 others without a problem, go figure....
By the way, SpiderMan (Reg 1 NTSC) was the first DVD I did with DVD2one ver. 1.02, it came out flawless, in the movie only mode

Thanks TugBoat! Yeaj, I can get it copy fine in Movie Only mode - its this new full mode I can't get it to work in! But as I say, for some reason the other 2 main progs failed on this too... Could some DVDs have non-standard ways?

Are you kiddin' ?

-Pete

I take it Pete - thats a yes!

It is indeed!

Believe me, if some of them could use square discs, they would

-Pete

Standard, non-standard, probably so....
What's interesting is that the .IFO files updated with IfoEdit 0.95 seem to work, where as the same ones tend to choke DVD2one 1.1.1.
Maybe if DVD2one updated the .IFO files the same way as IfoEdit..........
Just a thought.
It would be nice if someone with the same type of problem backups could test my method and see what happens. The count is up to 8 DVD's using 1.1.1, Space Cowboys was the only one that gave a problem.

Is there a 'quick fix' in IfoEdit 0.95 to correct the problem DVDs?

Ok, now I am getting frustrated.

I just tried Apollo 13 and it made it clear to the end, 99% and gave me the error: "Error adjusting the IFO file. It does not match the VOB file." I click ok, then get a message to copy all files from the DVD for full disk mode (which I did).

In the DVD2one output folder the VOBs are all there and compressed to the proper size. I have the VTS_01_0.IFO and VTS_01_0.BUP files, but there is no VIDEO_TS.IFO or VIDEO_TS.BUP files. The files are present in the original DVD ripped folder.

This has happened to me on:
"Last of the Mohicans"
"Gladiator"
"Apollo 13"

These are all Region 1, NTSC. The first two worked in movie only mode. (I did not try Apollo 13 in movie mode but expect it should work, never had a problem before).

See my system specs below.

I have 51.8 G free on the RAID array
and 11.2 G free on the 20G drive.

I have tried transcoding from RAID to RAID and RAID to 20G, same results.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

Don:

I just did Apollo 13, region 1, UPC code:2519-20153-2(in case there are multiple versions). Yay, someone finally complained about a disk I have in my collection.

I decrypted w/dvd decrypter, using all default settings (version 3.1.4.0, File mode, all files) to move it to my hard drive

I then ran DVD2ONE ver 1.1.1, in full disk copy mode, and it ran completly through. I used my second hard drive as the destination. Both drives are on the same IDE cable. I ran the files on my pc player and they seem to work correctly.

If your version of Apollo 13 is the same one as mine, I think, this eliminates the disk and DVD2ONE as being the culprit.

I am using XP Home SP1 on my machine.
My machine is a Dell 2.53 P4, with 1 gig of mem. I am using a lite-on 163 to rip the dvd to the hard drive. My video card is a GeForce 4 MX 420. As far as I know all my drivers and firmware are the most recent. I had Norton Anti-virus, msn messenger and weather bug running throughout the rip and transcode.

I have Nero, record now DX, dvd95copy and instant copy all loaded on this machine and none of these seem to have an affect on success with any of the others.

Also, I don't remember where, but I think I saw a message stating that some problems were solved by moving the transcoding process completly off of raid drives. I know transcoding to the same drive is slower, but you might try moving the rip to the non raid drive and transcoding it to another Dir on the same drive.

Mark,

Thank you for such a detailed reply. I have the exact same Apollo 13 disk that you do. That makes the second DVD that others have been able to transcode in full disk mode that I cannot. That does seem to imply something with my system.

I updated some of the system information below, but do not think it will matter.

I will try to do the entire process on the non-RAID drive as you suggest and let you know how it works.

Thanks for your help,

Don
