Success.

I downloaded Ifo Edit and compared the Muxman generated ifo files to the ifo files from the original download kit. Straight away I could see the references to 16:9 which I changed to 4:3 and the whole thing plays perfectly on my PC through PowerDVD.

Once I get the fixed ifo files to cure the time problem and to allow me to shrink it, I am confident that I can modify those new files to work on my 4:3 fullscreen version and finally burn a test DVD.



Today, I was sent the fixed ifo files - many thanks for that and the subsequent offer - which cure the 10 hour long film error but, as I have done the conversion on the Fullscreen version, DVD Shrink will still not open the files to allow me to shrink down do fit a SL DVD.

Anyhow, A4 DVD Shrinker allowed me to shrink and burn to a disk but the encoding is hideous so I am still looking for an alternative fix.

On the other hand, compare that problem to how often I am going to watch a Fullscreen Ep 3 with the dodgy translation subs on my 42" widescreen plasma telly and what I have done is more than good enough.

The fun was in doing the thing, seeing if I could do it and proving that the kit worked on the Fullscreen version of the film.

Many thanks to marioxb for all his hard work and thanks for all the help and guidance from all others who have helped too.

If a fix or better shrink method is found, I will let everyone know.
