Multi PGC's - Audio Sync problems using IFOUPDATE , MAESTRO guides

HI all , well i was wondering how you go about putting some of the more trouble some mutli pgc's back together in Meastro. example - there seems to be a lot of DVDs, with multi PGCS ( some only with 4 pgcs) that run into audio sync problems when using the current Ifoupdate, Maestro guides, and on some occations you must just rip the movie pgc & other clips PGC's seperatly either via vobedit or smartripper etc , but i am runing into problems putting all back together in Meastro. Is there a good guide on how this is done. To date i have been able to do this , by trying Meastro , Infupdate methord , if it fails , i take note of each entry, exit pgc's chapter points , then start again at the begining , and do each notable PGC ( nothing smaller than 1 second) and try and put it back in maestro , this has been a bit of hit and miss , but has worked on 6 dvds , that would not work the other ways. A description of how others do it in meastro , or always works guide on indervidal ripped PGC's put back together with Maestro would be really good. Thanks and sorry for the length of the post regards

I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that in Maestro. I don't know what they were thinking when they made it possible to add on an additional video stream, but you couldn't append the audio...

i was wondering if the the author of DVD2AVI could do something to address multi PGC's ( skip non audio PGCs) when processing the vobs. IS there a clear reason why DVD2AVI gives a hit or miss on multi pgcs. Just a thought !!!

Hey Jdobbs what is this message? - Playlist #2 (PGC #2); [VOB Sector: 0] - This Playlist uses the chapter point(s) identified in Playlist #1 - Warning: The chapter count isn't the same. You may want to look at this with IFOEdit Any unlisted PGCs have been determined to be nulls (dummys) and will remain intact in the original file. Im trying to copy Xmen. It has two PGC's and there both same length. There both the movie I think but one prob has directories comments or something what would I do in this case using update ifo just the same create 2 playlists and create the same chapters? for each play list? Thanks

Try doing the backup with "Adjusted Cell Mode" and it will probably work. The two PGCs may point to the same sectors -- but they aren't exactly the same. One of them as fewer chapters than the other.

when saving chapter files do i need to check Adj Mode Maestro and CCE Files

oh yeah also when i do check the Adj Maestro Mode with CCE files it doenst produce a .txt file to allow me to determine which chapters go to which playlist will i have to load up ifoedit and look at which each chapters starts?

You will not have to create playlists if you use the Adjusted Cell Mode. Just run the complete movie VTS in DVD2AVI. Look in the Advanced DVD authoring for the thread New IFOUpdate Version Good luck

ok thanks I did add the chapters to maestro and tried to use updateifo but then it gave me an error saying the new authored files have one pgc and the orig has two and then stopped but Ill check the forum more :) Thanks
