Bad .BUP File

[MutinyFever]

I have occasionally failed to open DVD files in DVDShrink because it could not read a .BUP or a .IFO file. If these files are straight copies (the BUP a 1:1 copy of the IFO) as was stated in the FAQ guide to DVD files, then can I simply copy, paste, and rename the appropriate .IFO to create a new .BUP and vice versa? Would DVDShrink then read the files? (Unfortunately, I do not have an example archive with this problem at the moment. I'm just studying the art of DVD today.)

If that would work, and if I am clear about what a BUP is, then why don't the programs ignore errors to these files if there is an equivalent of the other type available?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, simply copy the IFO to make a BUP. However, the DVD only reads a BUP when the IFO is bad, so it is probably not much help.

Thanks. That was simple.
