Van Helsing causing DIF to freeze?

the only time dif4u does that (demux both long pgcs) is when there is ilvu (this is by design).. in that case you would want to manually select vobid demux

Can you please change the title to something more descriptive?

I checked not only the main movie ifo but all the ifos and found no ilvu at all in any of them. Any other ideas?

i'll be able to give it a try in prolly by the weekend if you can wait.. can you paste the main movie ifo information from ifoedit main screen just so we can take a look and see if there is anything peculiar in the mean while?

I got it to work. Here is what I did. I had to turn off the 'Select and uncheck duplicate pgcs' in the DIF options. Once I did this, I manually selected PGC 1 in VTS1 and everything worked fine. DIF, Batch and scenaid then did their jobs and it worked. Not sure why I had to turn that option off but it did work.

my personal theory on this (and trust me ... its only a wild guess) is that when DIF4U selected pgc_2 it included a unknown substream (labelled ??? in DIF4U and 'unknown' in Ifoedit) and this substream caused issues with the demux. by manually selecting pgc_1, this substream was not referenced and so the demux continued as it should. so .. may be an issue with vsrip/vsconv? or a poorly authored dvd? as i do not have this version of the dvd (r1) it makes testing kind of hard (btw this information was learnt only through discussing this problem with hoops in irc) anyway, trahald, might give you something to look for when testing. good luck j

Van Helsing & doitfast4u 

I had no problems backing up Van Helsing with doitfast4u with the uncheck duplicate pgc checked. The only problem that i'm having is backing up envy which has both versions on the dvd.

@ fdnyems which version/region of van helsing?
