Somehow I'm not surprised, given all the fun error messages I've got so far - also, the VOB's are a weird size, most odd that they're split at 750mb intervals rather than at 1GB. Wouldn't surprise me if they're one and the same problem.

Have you tried concatenating them using a command prompt? Like so:

copy /b vob1.vob + vob2.vob + vob3.vob bigvob.vob

That method hasn't failed me yet. Takes a while, though.

BTW, that program link I posted won't work, it's only suitable for program streams. There are others out there like it, though, including a tool in DVDLab.

Hey folks,

I think I've worked out how to fix the DVD.

I'll keep this brief, since only one technically literate person with the whole DVD (I've only got one VOB to play with) will need to do this.

Essentially, the issue is with the original streams, not with the IFO. So, what needs to be done is to:

* Join the VOB's.

* Demultiplex

* Fix the aspect ratio header. You see, currently, despite the video being encoded as 16:9 anamorphic, the headers identify it as normal 4:3. Every player will handle this differently, hence the differences we've been hearing about. I -think- http://www.geocitie s.com/eby_ vdo/index. html#download should do it, but it doesn't like my partial VOB very much. Use it in advanced mode, and tell it to set the aspect ratio to 16:9.

* Remultiplex.

* Add chapters, menu as desired.

Let me know how it goes, or give me a buzz if you need more details / ideas.

burning should be fine . what is your problem?

note that the copy from dime is (obviously) PAL so you need to have a player and TV that can play it. someone posted that they will convert. it would be interesting since the conversion is not trivial. personally i would not do it with the dime copy since i believe it has not been authored properly and i spent most of last Sunday tinkering with it in an attempt to re-author but gave up. i am waiting on another copy from justin and when i get it i will attempt to convert to ntsc, unless someone else already did it

Add me to that list...I have downloaded and can watch, but I have given up trying to burn anything.  I can copy and will offer 7 to the list!  Promise.

I will be more than happy to re-weed to 5 outher US workers if someone could get a copy to me.

Please let me know if you would be willing to send me an NTSC copy of the Sound Relief DVD and I will re-weed immediately upon receipt.

Thanks much, Art
