I want to share this with you because I had so many problems getting started with this that I was about to go completely CRAZY over all the failed burns I did. It is working now however I’m still not able to get the menu section with me to the new DVD I burn but I can choose Subtitles and change Chapters and Audio on the new disk. The first thing I did was to use NERO to burn the DVD. I tried every setting in that god damn program but every time I ended up with a disk that could not play in any DVD stand alone player or even in my PC’s DVD player. After fooling around for a bit and wasting quite a few blank DVD’s I discovered that if I opened a VOB file directly from the DVD I burned it would play just fine “What the fuc* is up with NERO”. Then it was time to do a bit more reading on the Internet. I ran across this page http://digital-forums.com/dvd2dvdr/part6.htm it has a step by step guide on how to burn a DVD with GEAR PRO. I found the program version 6.1 somewhere and gave it a go. When I was about to add the files to the layout I got an error stating that it could not find the VIDEO_TS.IFO file “What the fuc* is that?”. So I thought of what I did when I ripped the movie. I was ripping the original DVD with DVD Decrypter and after that I tried to burn it. When I opened the folder with the rip in I had the VIDEO_TS folder and the AUDIO_TS folder but inside the VIDEO_TS folder there was no VIDEO_TS.IFO file. I thought “why not try to recompile it with DVD2ONE”. After DVD2ONE finished I took a look in the VIDEO_TS folder and there was the famous VIDEO_TS.IFO and 2 BUP files “what the fuc* is a BUP file”. I opened the burn guide again and this time everything just ran smooth with no nag screens and after ½ hour I put the DVD disk in my stand alone player and everything just ran smoothly with no problems at all. I know I don’t have the MENU screen with me but I'm getting tired of wasting DVD’s and the above worked for me. I would be glad if you could tell me how you did it and what files you have in your VIDEO_TS folder before you start burning. Thanks for reading all this crap.
you should have in VIDEO_TS: VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB and FYI, a BUP file is a backup IFO file, you still need it though
You wouldn't waste so much time and media if you would do your research first. Try reading these guides for starters. http://www.doom9.org/mpg/dvd5-backup.htm http://www.doom9.org/mpg/ifoedit-2dvdrs.htm
