This might be of help if u are using a raid

benefit, expected, possibly, failure, problem

Ok, dont really see a good place for this thread, but hope one of the moderators could find this info of help and place it where it could benefit others.

If you ever get the error quot;synchronization failure on vob filequot; in ifoedit or the error quot;cannot locate a frame sync word at an expected byte offsetquot; in maestro, the problem is from a corrupt raid or which i am going to try to narrow down is possibly a bad hard drive. I am betting its just a corrupt raid.

For a couple of weeks i have had these issues trying to do the movie Star Wars 2 and was going crazy trying to figure out why after 100+ movies i cant get ifoedit(tried 3 versions) or Maestro(even after reinstall of the software and finally the OS) i could not get rid of the errors. So, this time i ripped to my external hard drive and processed all files thru that one and guess what, no errors. So, i believe its either a corrupt raid or one of the hard drives on the raid is going bad.

Moderator, feel free to change the text, but i would post it somewhere cause i know i am not alone in running a raid and it could if not already happen to you.

ps thanks go to Tantabootsy for his help in figuring out these issues.

..it´s very late for an update, I know,
but for all you guys having the same problem I feel I have to give a possible (if not the only) solution for it, because I know how many nerves can get killed to solve it.
Yes, benf2`s right, it is the RAID, but not only the RAID, the problem here is the controller (Promise in Benf2`s and my case) no matter if you`re running your HD`s in RAID or ATA100-Mode.
You can try to delete the reserve sector of your drives you can even try to patch your controller BIOS to quot;Fullquot;-Raid (if it`s onboard and quot;lightquot;), as I did, but nothing will work.
So it seems like your only option is to buy a new controller.
