i got the 2 disc of GONY, but for some reason i cant read disc1 in my drive,it plays fine in the dvd player but doesn't show up on the PC, disc 2 does though. any ideas?
I had no trouble joining the 2 parts using the guide here http://ifoedit.wh.fr0zen.com/joinclip.html However, I did it a little differently. I used DVD2one to compress both parts to 2.2 gbs then I combined them. One thing that they left out of this guide is that after you create new ifo files with ifoedit, you need to open them and specify the languge of the audio and subpicture since it is unspecified
Eric if you go to playusa.com or play247.co.uk it doesn"t say the movie is split over two disk"s there ok might be a bit to late but only just read the thread
Its quite a good movie. Here is a user guide for those still strugling with it: http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/tmpgenc_dvd_author.htm
This worked for me and is fairly simple. Rip both disks into separate folders. Then take only the Movie VOB files and combine them into a separte folder leave the VOB's from Disk 1 alone rename the VOB's from disk 2, starting by renaming the first one to VTS_01_06 and so on. Use IFO Edit to create new ifo files. Make sure to get vts sectors etc. Then I used DVD2ONE, movie only 4472Mb size. It burned and plays fine.
You will probably find it will work without renaming teh VOB's if you use TMPGEnc DVD Author, but there is no harm done by renaming.
Orphius, could you summarize the instuctions in the link above,, since the link is now down? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
Thats what i mean -its a magic link. U have to really want to access the link for it to work. If you are only looking out of curiosity and not out of desire, it wont let you in.
I have had good success using the method oulined in the following link using vobedit and ifoedit. http://users.pandora.be/rudy.stremersch/joinclip.html#joindbl
I am having problems combining 2 discs onto 1. I have tried it a couple of ways and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I ripped both discs to their own directories with Decrypter. I renamed the vob files for disc 2 so they would fall in numerical sequence with the files from disc one and copied them all to a new directory. I then used Vobedit and the files were recreated in yet another directory. The "slack" on the last vob file of disc 1 was taken up with the vobs of disc 2. I then used Ifoedit and video_ts.bup, video_ts.ifo, vts_01_0.bup and vts_01_0.ifo were created. The movie vobs are numbered in the vts_07_1 to vts_07_12 range, so I renamed vts_01_0.bup and vts_01_0.ifo to the _07_ series. I tried to look at the compilation using WInDVD. When I pressed play, nothing showed and WinDVD indicated "stop". No error message. I tried TMPGE, using the website guide.When I tried to "add DVD video", no titles appear in the pop up window. I then tried to open the individual disc directories that were created when I decrypted the discs. I got an error message that said "...video_ts.ifo can not be opened". Can someone advise what step I have left out?
I used Clad XP in ifo parsing mode to rip. Then renamed the vob files. You got it right but you have to name the files starting with 1 NOT 7 (e.g. VTS_01_x NOT VTS_07_x). Then run IfoEdit and create the .ifo and .bup files. Then I used DVD2ONE using constant ratio compression. Then put the files into a VIDEO_TS folder and burn. I have done this in Nero 5.5 and 6 successfully.
You are both right to a certain extent. however, it can be done in TMPGEnc DVD Author without any changing of names or using IFO Edit. Simply load the files into it for the first DVD. Then do the same for the second DVD. You can create a menu to say Disc 1 Disc 2 on start up.
