This is going to sound odd (and you'll wish I hadn't even said it), but I know for sure that there was (the operative word being "was") a DVD of Heart Of Darkness floating around at my local video/DVD rental store. I had always kept seeing it around and promising myself that one day I would finally rent it. Now that I've come across this thread (which I'm assuming that everyone is claiming that no official DVD has been made yet of HoD), I made a concerted effort to finally rent the DVD which I know I came across many times over, but as it turns out the store has no record of it ever existing and I could not find it anywhere (and I mean ANYWHERE) on the numerous shelves.

So to sum up, I was going to rip this DVD for you blokes and now I can't find the rotten thing anymore! And yes, there is a VHS version available, but I never check this section anymore which means the DVD must be hiding in that store somewhere (or more probably has been "lifted"). I will make one last ditch effort to locate it, dudes ... and I am adamant that I am not just imagining all this either!

As reported by our friend DMw, the link that he provided may have the answer I'm looking for (I haven't tried this as yet, but I reckon it may be a goer, although I'm wondering why I didn't think of it myself). The suggestion is to run the DVD folder through DVDShrink (without compression) and this may filter out whatever nasty bug is contained within. I'll give it a try soon and let you know whether Nero won't spit the dummy any longer (or not).

There was another suggestion of removing the VIDEO_TS.VOB file altogether, but I'd rather not risk that. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes one way or another.

I'm also having a problem trying to burn off the SW5:ESB DVD from OCP, however it seems that Nero has handled SW4 & SW6 without any complaints. This is what is happening :-

I have an LG-4163 burner and have the DVD-ROM bitsetting turned on (hmm, maybe that's the problem). Anyway, I am also adding a few DVD Cover .jpg's with it (which I've also done with every other DVD I've ever burnt). When I go to Burn the DVD, this is what happens ...

Inside the status box below the "Compilation name:" moniker it says ...
DVD-Video files reallocation started
File 'VIDEO_TS.VOB' is not referenced and should not be present
DVD-Video files reallocation failed

An OK/Cancel window comes up telling me ...
"DVD-Video files reallocation failed. The resulting DVD-Video might be unplayable. Do you want to continue?"

Naturally, I opt out of burning the DVD since I don't really want to waste a disc finding out later that it might not work. I tried using FixVTS as suggested before to hopefully fix whatever corruption is causing this error, although the end result is that the VIDEO_TS file is completely removed and the IFO/BUP files are changed in some way. Still, Nero refuses this modification and brings up a different error.

I don't know anything about the coding of a DVD, but I do understand the need for compliancy with the (?)-book standard etc. I'm wondering if somebody out there could finally get these files to a proper standard and possibly provide a link to them online. And I'd rather not go through the rigmoral of creating an ISO image since any burning program may not indicate the validity of said image. Can someone maybe suggest another reliable DVD burning program other than Nero (ie I would love to finally migrate away from this defacto-standard software)? Many thanks.
