i went through these steps: Launch Smartripper, you should see a box open on the left of your screen, and then the main Smartripper screen. Click on the “Movie” Button. In the centre of the screen, a box marked “Chapters” each box has a tick in it, this means the Chapter has been selected to be ripped, but, we are only ripping the first half remember, so, scroll down, and check the no of Chapters. Un check the 2nd half (11 to 18 in our example). At the bottom of the screen you will see a box marked “Target”. This is where we are going to copy the ripped files to. Click on the “Explorer” type icon, and select F:\disc1 and save as option vts_01 Just to be on the safe side, check Stream Processing Tab. The “Enable Stream Processing” Box MUST NOT BE CHECKED. After that, hit Start, and it should rip the first half of the movie. When it’s finished, go into the disc1 directory, you should have 3 VOB files vts_01_1 vts_01_2 vts_02_2 and a vts_01_0.ifo (there may be a *.txt file as well but that doesn’t matter) Open Ifoedit, click on “Open” bottom left of the screen, open the vts_01_0.ifo file in the “disc1” directory. At the top of the screen click on “VOB extras>create new Ifos This brings up the VOB extras Options. The following options should be checked :- Correct Vob-Unit (Navigation Pack)….. Correct IFO tables with new VOB…….. Create new VIDEO_TS.IFO & VTS_01_0.IFO Remove P-Uops Remove Macrovision Adjust Vob-Unit Pointers Adjust Audio/Subp point Then, under the File/Directory Paths, make “Destination directory” F:\disc1 new ifo Then Click OK. Ifoedit then starts to analyse your files, and write 4 new files into “disc 1 new ifos” directory. This might take 15-20 minutes. When complete, shut down Ifoedit and go into Windows Explorer, and check to see that the 4 new files have bee written. These should be :- VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO Now, still in Explorer, got directory disc 1, and delete ALL files EXCEPT *.VOB files. Then copy across from disc 1 new ifos to disc 1 the 4 new files. Nearly there now. Re open Ifoedit, and open disc 1 directory, file :- VTS_01_0.IFO. At the bottom of the screen click on “Get VTS sectors”. Click OK every time Ifoedit prompts you, until complete. Shutdown Ifoedit. That’s it. You have now have a VOB set that will be small enough to burn and play in any settop box. For the second half of the movie, just “uncheck the chapters 1-9 (or whatever) and place you file sin the disc 2 sections (just so you don’t muddle them up. BUT THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I GO TO CREATE THE NEW IFO FOR THE 2ND DISC IT SAYS NO NAVIGATION-PACK FOUND IN VOB FILES. LOOKS LIKE YOUR DEALING WITH INVALID VOB FILES. WHAT IS WRONG AND WHAT DO I DO TO FIX IT?
OK, From what you have written, does your "disc 1" work OK ? From what I've read it seems it does. 2nd what movie are you trying to do ? 3rd Has this ever worked for you before ? HomerJ
What version of Ifoedit are you using (I suspect 0.95 ?) I'm using 0.91 (most stable) I suggest you try this version. It can be downloaded from here :- http://www.ifoedit.com/ HomerJ
now it says error opening Disc 2/ VIDEO_TS.IFO. Seems like it doesnt exist when i try to burn chapters 15-28
Use; Smartripper or DVD Decrypter DVD2one v1.11 Nero 5.5.9.9 [or above] If your after movie only (no extras,subs or angles) then this is the way to get DVD-9 or dual-layered disc onto a single DVD-R. herbs.
MSOV1986, now it says error opening Disc 2/ VIDEO_TS.IFO. Seems like it doesnt exist when i try to burn chapters 15-28 . What have you done to get this (Please tell) The reason I ask is. THAT MESSAGE IS OK !!! I have encountered it myself. Just click OK and it will create one for you. Keep on going. HomerJ
what i did was i ripped the whole movie using smart ripper then went in with ifoedit split it do 2 dvds and stripped it then opened the disc 1 or 2 folder in ifoedit and had it create new video_ts.ifo under the create new ifos then it works
