so dvd guys. I know I have seen this error/warning from time to time with nero as I'm sure most of you have. dvd will rip just fine but when using nero to burn you get this error/warning. most of the time the dvd will play just fine but if you rip the burned copy you will still get the error when trying to burn it. this happened to me again last night so I did a little research. found a thread on cd freaks about this very thing. one post said to do this.
I too get the same error in Nero "dvd files reallocation failed....."
after reading some posts, I tried the following (and it worked):
- I deleted or otherwise removed ALL files from VIDEO_TS folder
except the actual movie files (*.VOB)
- I downloaded, unzipped and ran IFOEDIT, then clicked on
"Create IFO" button, and pointed to the first VTS_01_1.VOB file.
- after a few minutes IFOEDIT examined the whole folder and created
4 new files (two IFOs and two BUPs)
After this Nero burned this DVD without an error.
so I got IFOEDIT
http://www.ifoedit.com/I did what it said, removed ALL files except the actual VOB files. had to remove the menu (VIDEO_TS VOB) one as well. I left it at first but would still get the error. removed it and it worked. tried to just remove it without running the vob's through IFOEDIT but it wouldn't work.
ran the vob's through IFOEDIT and it worked like a charm. burned without error, plays fine. I ripped the new copy and burned it and it also burns without error. it did remove the menu (see above). not a big deal on the dvd in question as it was a very generic one anyway. the program also looks like it has lots of other cool stuff in it. hope this helps some of y'all.
