FixVTS |
FixVTS is a very tiny tool that allows you to adjust your DVD files into better DVD compliance, so they can be opened in DVDShrink, vobblanker or other DVD softwares. This is especially useful if your DVD had some kind of copy protection or recorded with a DVD Recorder that prevents DVDShrink, Vobblanker, etc from opening it. FixVTS can fix that for you. Development stopped.

FixVTS 1.603 Hide changelog * Added better handling of address exceptions for IFOs that are severely mangled. * In Full DVD process mode, VTS 99 was excluded from the loop. It is now processed with all the other titlesets. FixVTS 1.602 * The code has been very slightly altered so FixVTS can run in wine (linux). No change if running in windows. FixVTS 1.6 * The code has been improved, to better handle badly formed IFOs with out-of-range pointers and other calamities. * Added a "-p" command line switch to control the option to fix PGC LBA pointers. FixVTS 1.5 * If the CLI is used to tell FixVTS where to write the log, FixVTS appends to the log, rather than erasing it. * Increased length of navpack array to avoid crashes on some twisted DVDs. FixVTS 1.403 * Fixed a tiny bug that messed up the Last VOBU start sector in some rare cases (last VOBU with only 1 sector). Thanks r0lZ. * The VTS(M)_C_ADT and VTS(M)_VOBU_ADMAP pointers are now set to 0 if the tables are empty. This prevents Shrink from crashing on empty VOBs. * Added an "Open" button to the UI. FixVTS 1.401 * FixVTS now zeros out offset 0xC0 when any menu vob is removed (not just video_ts.vob). This is for Nero to stop complaining about a reallocation FixVTS 1.4 * FixVTS now zeros out offset 0xC0 when video_ts.vob is removed. This is for Nero to stop complaining about a reallocation error. * Fixed problem that occurs when a PGC Cells has the right pointers, but wrong VCID ("When a Stranger Calls" for example). FixVTS 1.3 * If video_ts.vob is entirely removed by FixVTS, the vmgm_c_adt and vmgm_vobu_admap tables are entire removed. This fixes crashes that occurred in Shrink during the analysis or the processing phase. * Added option in the UI to fix PGC LBA pointers. This adjusts the First VOBU start LBA, Last VOBU start LBA and Last VOBU End LBA in PGCs when these LBAs are obviously bogus and remaps a cell if it references something crazy. It should be on. * FixVTS now makes the necessary adjustments to the IFO tables when the number of VTS present on the DVD does not match the value(s) in the IFO. * Added command line option -l logpath to specify where to put the log. * The log was not being cleared when FixVTS was used in command-line mode. This is fixed. * Added logging of start and end time. * Removed annoying messages having to do with testing for empty VOB files. * Fixed the problem with the INI file path not existing in wine. * Fixed win 98 and ME crashes introduces in version 1.25 * Added final completion message in Full DVD mode. * Added .ini option to put backup directory in the VIDEO_TS directory. You need to edit the .ini file to change that. FixVTS 1.25 * Fixed a problem that could occur when a PGC cell's entry sector and last VOBU start address didn't point to a navpack. * FixVTS now only reports 30 blank pack replacements. This will make the log file a bit more manageable! * Fixed the problem with the INI file path not existing in wine. * FixVTS now updates the number of titlesets in the DVD. FixVTS Beta 1.24 * Tiny update: removed an annoying message about video format. Corrected the properties in the binary. FixVTS Beta 1.23 * Added code to update IFOs in FullDVD mode, when the vob does not exist but the IFO does. FixVTS Beta 1.22 * Fixed a problem that occurred when the last cell(s) in a vob was/were removed. FixVTS Beta 1.20 * Empty vob files are now removed in the menu domain. * The DVD was flagged as PAL when the vertical resolution was 240. This has been fixed. * In command-line mode, FixVTS behaves nicer if you try to open a non-existing file. * There's a -a command line option to reset all angle/ILVUs pointers. * The -v command line option can be used to not renumber VOBIDs. * Minor cosmetic changes. FixVTS Beta 1.17 * FixVTS now renumbers the VIDs as well as the CIDs. * FixVTS now checks for empty output vobs and renames the others accordingly. * Restore backups now works better (won't forget files) * Fixed a bug that occured when the last cell of the last vob was removed. * Fixed a couple bugs when the vob file was empty to begin with, or the IFO didn't exist. * Fixed a bug in the IFO class that cause data to be written in the wrong place, which caused CloneDVD2 to refuse to open the DVD (but otherwise had no other side-effect)... * FixVTS now updates the last navpack pointers in the menu domain as well, if they're incorrect. * The log is now in the default directory pointed to by the %TEMP% environment variable. To open the log, right-click on FixVTS's title bar, and chose "Open Log". FixVTS Beta 1.12 * Fixed a bug in the input/output navpack mapping table which caused DVDShrink to flag the entire movie as unreferenced in some cases. FixVTS Beta 1.11 * The VTS(M)_C_ADT table is now ordered the proper way in the case of ILVU or multi-angled DVDs. * The PGC duration is now correctly computed in the case of multi-angle PGCs. * Added code to update the TMAP_TI table. DVDShrink does not seem to need that table though. * The VCIDs are now remapped if needed, so the Cell IDs are in consecutive order and start at 1. The VIDs are not modified. This is needed because DVDShrink reports completely wrong sizes if the Cell IDs are not in the right order. FixVTS Beta 1.01 * Fixed another problem with missing tables in the IFOs... and a bug introduced by version Beta 1.0 ... We'll get there!. FixVTS Beta 0.99 * FixVTS Beta 0.98 crashed during the IFO update if there was no VOBU_ADMAP table. This is fixed. FixVTS Beta 0.98 * Fixed 1 major bugs in the IFO updating code that caused bad VTS sectors in the IFOs * The IFO size is now calculated based on the table sizes inside, instead of relying on its original size (which can be wrong). * Fixed a bug that cause the last LBA pointer of the last PGC cell to be wrong in some cases. This made Shrink report lots of material as unreferenced. * If video_ts.ifo does not exist, FixVTS no longer crashes (!). FixVTS -Beta 0.96 * Added option to process the entire DVD. This runs FixVTS on all menu and title vobs. * Cleaned up and simplified the backup mechanism. . When processing "in-place" there is no backup of any files. . When not processing "in-place", previous backed-up files are deleted before the current ones are backed up. This means the backup directory always contains the IFO and VOB files as they were right before the last processing. * FixVTS automatically restores the backup when not in-place if the user aborts. * Delete Backup now deletes the backup directory. * FixVTS warns if aborting might result in seriously mis-synchronized files (in-place processing, and if some packs have been removed). * FixVTS now reports remaining processing time. * New command line argument -f for full dvd process. * FixVTS now creates/backs up both .IFO and .BUP files. * Processing video_ts.vob now works OK (the IFO was not updated in previous versions). FixVTS -Beta 0.95 * New command line argument -s to make the app start processing immediately. * Warning for in-place processing removed when command-line arguments are used. * Can't toggle "in place" in the middle of processing any more! FixVTS -Beta 0.94 * Better check for file read/write permissions and better message for failure. * FixVTS now can process the menu domain. * Fixed a couple small bugs. FixVTS -Beta 0.93 * New -i command line option for "in-place" processing. * FixVTS restores the backup folder in command-line mode if the user aborts.

This is a must have for me as a DVD recorder owner. It saved me quickly and with 100% reliability on some poorly recorded DVDs which were impossible to import in tools like DVDShrink. I guess some structural errors. In this case, FixVTS was a godsend.

Introduced to this tool thru Ripit4Me. Has other uses as well: fixing rips of set-top DVD recordings for input to TMPG DVD Author; fixing DVDFabHDDecrypter rips so that DVDShrink correctly recognizes the audio file size and correctly computes the shrink percentage were needed. Open the first VTS, check process in place, Full DVD, then let it do its job. Thanks to the one(s) who developed this fine tool!

The fixVTS software is a great boon for dvd shrink. thanks for the developers and team members and people who have invested their time and money in building these two softwares. great.

FixVTS in combination with RipIt4Me has made it possible to copy DVDs recorded by stand alone DVD recorders. The DVD file structure created by some of these players aren't easily recognized by DVD coping software and tends to error during copying. It is especially worst when titles are deleted and added later to the DVD-R. FixVTS fixes these DVDs allowing them to be copied. Sometimes these copied DVDs play better than the recorded originals because the DVD file structure has been fixed.

Just one helluva piece of work. It's main use for me is reclaiming space after I have deleted cells. So easy and fast. Thanks jeanl.

What a pity those dirty S.O.B.s killed off this great tool ! I keep discovering new uses for it. Had some old DVD9 --> two DVD5 splits that were done (and mostly botched) by DVDStripper, before I learned of better -- and still Free -- ways to do this. Usually it would be DVD #2 that turned out to be unplayable. I thought these were probably toast. But then I ripped one and then ran it through FixVTS. Presto -- now it plays fine in various standalone players ! FixVTS could not save the menus (DVDSTripper was supposed to leave the ones that became irrelevant greyed out or nonresponsive, I think, though after FixVTS they're just gone), but that would just be asking too much. At least the movie is viewable again, chapters work, FF / Rev. etc. And I'm sure I haven't discovered all the uses for FixVTS yet !

From "MaximumPC" magazine, July 2007 issue, page 102: From a reader: "As of March 31, the RipIt4Me website has been closed and development of the program has been discontinued, and as of April 19 the same goes for FixVTS. . . . . Magazine response: "The folks who built those two apps were cease-and-desisted by persons unknown . . . . . [T]his almost certainly means the end of development for both . . . "

Just Great and fix any protected DVD I own to make a running copy for the family.

It is a key part of the infamous Ripit4me tool family, and I thank you for it.

Excellent piece of software...saved me a lot of times

I had this program but didn't realice how good it was until ripit4me. This is a great little app. that everyone should have in the tool box.

Excellent. Gets round the problem that occurs when backing up your SONY dvds (especially the red coloured ones). Use it with Rip it 4 me, DVD decrypter and DVD Shrink for a complete solution.

This stuff is way over my head, but if they included it as part of the RipIt4Me package, it must be good.

What a fantastic tool. CONGRATS to whomever created this one....sheer genuis. One pass (complete DVD) in this tool took an unrecognized Sony DVD Recorder disc to a completely workable DVD in TMPGEnc DVd Author. Rip in file mode to a folder with DVDDecrypter...run FixVTS (in place with no backup) and presto....your problems are solved. It also solved a sync issue with a DVD that was created in a Pioneer DVD recorder(recorded to HD first then edited). This one is a MUST HAVE in your arsenal of tools.

Great tool. Solved my problem right-away. I had a backup (from a DVD-R) which could not fit on a DVD+R (which is slightly smaller) and DVDShrink would not accept it. After I fixed the VOB-files, I did not even have to shrink it.

This tool renders dvd-vr discs fully compliant after 2 minutes of encoding! A marvelous surprise! It took longer to rip the disc than the tool took processing. A real find.
