Re: URGENT: VOBU length & number of sectors disagree

Good one, Alexander,

There would need to be an additional "End of Input encountered" Eclipse error if the Image got cut off, though.

The DDPID file contains the Data Stream length, in sectors. If this value is shorter than the actual number of sectors in found in the Main data file (MAIN.DAT), then the error is returned.

Writing incorrectly out of Toast like what you describe, bites an amazing number of good folks; and worse, many replicators will go ahead and replicate the truncated Images anyway! Not pretty.

For sure, submitting on hard drive or DLT or by FTP avoids this potential minefield completely, as well (you know I'm not going to get off my "No-to-DVD-R Image Submission" until it's driven home - and parked :-)

Take care,

Trai
