file problem need help

my father in law made a dvd but will only work in the computer no menu and i can't get it to work in any progam to edit it and try to make it be able to play in a player everything looks like it should work but it nothing will read it any help is appreciated

 

what is the file type mpg, vob or what ?
try downloading gspot and analizing it

 

they are IFO VOB and BUP files

 

is there any error message from the dvds ?
it sounds like it could be a media or compatabilty issue rip the dvd with dvd decrypter in iso mode and burn with nero or dvd decrypter
The downloads and guides are on my page follow the link in my sig
or if you have nero use copy dvd
have a read of the golden rules in my sig

 

well i got the title menu to come up on the dvd player but won't go any further then that

 

Try ripping it as I said and Follow the golden rules in my sig

 

tried all that still nothing

 

you said the dvd plays normaly on your pc but not on your stand alone dvd does your stand alone normaly play burnt dvds ?
please list all files in the video_ts folder and their size
or you could try running the dvd thru vobblanker it should correct an error if there is one

 

VIDEO_TS.IFO 12.0KB

VIDEO_TS.BUP 12.0KB

VIDEO_TS.VOB 32.0KB

VTS_01_0.IFO 22.0KB

VTS_01-0.BUP 22.0KB

VTS_01_1.VOB 477MB


THIS IS JUST A HOME MOVIE MY FATHER IN LAW TRIED CONVERTING TO DVD AND I DON'T HAVE THE VHS TO CAPTURE ALL I HAVE IS THIS DVD

 

Load VTS_01_1.VOB 477MB
into this it will create a new dvd structure

Old Freeware Version Of Divxtodvd
http://freedownload.softonic.de/windows/vsoDivxToDVD_setup_0.52.99.exe
if you like it you can buy the new updated version from VSO

or if you have nerovision load the vob into that

 

I JUST TRIED THAT AND IT'S GIVING ME AN INVALID FLOATING POINT OPERATION

 

ok lets try this load the vob into this
http://www.inchwest.com/digital-miner.com/chopperxp.html
click on display real time output set your start frame at the beging of your movie and end frame at the end go to save under file and name it file.mpg then load file.mpg into divxto dvd

 

Still get the invalid floating point message

 

From chopper or divxtodvd ?

 

i could do everything in chopper the video came up i marked it like you said then i saved it to a mpg file but the message came up in divxtodvd just like last time

 

I think but am not sure that the "INVALID FLOATING POINT OPERATION" is CPU conflict with software but the mpg file from chopper should now be a clean mpeg-2 file, if you have nerovision you can load the mpeg into make dvd and create a new dvd with a menu
or for freeware try dvdstyler

 

i have studio producer 9 and muvee producer and won't open in either one of those even with the mpg file

 

can you ply thr mpeg-2 file the chopper made on your pc ?
can you play the vob from the original disk on your pc ?
did chopper preview the vob when you saved it ?

 

chopper let me play it
media player didn't reconize the mpg file or the codec that was used to compress the file
it would play off the dvd couldn't rewind or fast forward though

 

The vob appears to be malformed in someway my next suggestion would be to be load the dvd into vobblanker and process it thru that see if it can detect the error and repair it

failing that try converting the vob to an avi with virtualdub mod which is the most basic form of video and then reencode to a dvd
