Pearl Harbor 2 disk set onto 1 DVD-R currently, generate, follow, second

andy

I am trying to copy Pearl Harbor onto 1 DVD-R. It comes on two DVD's currently and I want to fit it onto one for convenience. I don't mind the quality. Here is how I have tried to do it so far.

Method 1:

DVD Decrypter each DVD to its own directory
Rename VOB's of second to follow first
IFOEdit to generate IFO's / Get VTS
DVD2one to shrink
Burn to DVD-R w Nero

Method 2:

DVD Decrypter each DVD to its own directory
Rename VOB's of second to follow first
VOBEdit to join VOB's
IFOEdit to generate IFO's / Get VTS
DVD2one to shrink
Burn to DVD-R w Nero

Both methods play fine until the point on the DVD that corresponds to the second chapter of the second disk, at which point it jumps to a much earlier chapter of the first disc and then shortly stops. It does play the first chapter of the second part okay. I'm faily sure it's not the media as I have burned 20 or so other movies with no problem.

I have tried various version of all of the above software.

WinXP SP1
Athlon 1.2
Pioner DVR105 latest firmware
Ritek G04's
Lite-On 166S to rip

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, I have finally been able to geet this movie working using method #2, but still have one more issue. Now, everything plays fine up until the closing credits, at which point it starts alternating between french and english, and then ends prematurely.

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

I am trying to use VobEdit to effectively renumber VobIDs of the second disk of Pearl Harbor using the Join Clips of VobEdit so that I can tag it onto the end of disk one, but I find that VobEdit added two additional cells as well as added an additional VobID.  The original disk two VobIDs and Cells were:

Vob Id         Cells
1               1-19
2               1
4               1 (Angle 1)
6               1

After using VobEdit to Join Clips I ended up with:

Vob Id         Cells
2              1-9
3              9-18
4              18-19
5              1
6              1
7              1

2/9 has added 1:31.12 and 3/18 has added 28.17 to the movie.  At least that is what IfoEdit v0.95 shows after I made new IFOs. All other cells seem to be fine.  Do you have the same problem?

Anyone know if this can be fixed?

Anyone know if one can simply change the VOB ID or Cell ID in a navigation pack to achieve what join clips is doing or is there more to changing VOB Ids or Cell Ids?

You can try this approach:

It is more complicated but it results in better quality .
