    This problem is typical of a mismatch between IFOs and VOBs. I'm guessing there are cells that were not referenced in the original VTSM_C_ADT table, and if you're using MenuShrink 2.0 (anything before 2.04 in fact), the table isn't fixed in the output and DVD Shrink complains.

    So, try using MenuShrink 2.08 (latest beta, which you'll find here ) and see if that solves the problem.

    In any case, I'd love to see the log...

    P.S. Don't tell me I'll have to buy that movie to fix the problem! I like Ben Stiller, but I don't think I'd go that far!

    MenuShrink can shrink your menus to 5-10% of their original size.

      @ jeanl

      "No, I wasn't aware! Could you possibly send me the MenuShrink log at jeanldvd(at)free(dot)fr ? Also, which version were you using? (matter of fact, did you actually try it yourself?).
      I'll try to find the original posts to get more info...
      jeanl"
      I was using version 2.0 . Yes I tried it myself.

        Thanks jmet for the log. Here's what I expected:
        Code:
        Updating VIDEO_TS.IFO
        Skipping LU 1 PGC 2 cell 1/1
        Skipping LU 1 PGC 15 cell 4/1
        Skipping LU 1 PGC 16 cell 7/1
        [color=red]
        PROBLEM updating VTSM_C_ADT! Found a cell (16/1) that was not originally 
        declared![/color]
        So that's the problem. That was fixed in version 2.04. Let me know if it isn't!

                    MenuShrink Version 2.1 is here!


                    Version 2.1 has the following main new features:
                    • The VTSM_C_ADT table is now fixed if it was incorrect to begin with. DVD Shrink should no longer complain in such (rare) cases.
                    • The LOG is now in color. This will make it much easier to see warnings and errors. Thanks jsoto!!
                    • MenuShrink is more clever than before when it comes to skipping "useless" menus.

                    along with a couple bug fixes.
                    Get the new version at the usual place:

                    Make sure to refresh the download page to get version 2.1!

                    Here's the change log.

                    UI:
                    • The LOG now has color, which makes it much easier to see warnings and errors. Thanks jsoto!
                    • Cells that were not referenced in the original DVD are now flagged in the log.

                    Engine:
                    • MenuShrink now fixes the VTSM_C_ADT when it's not correct to begin with. This fixes problems related to DVD Shrink complaining when opening menu-shrunk DVDs with incorrect VTSM_C_ADT tables.
                    • In those rare cases where the button definition changes in the middle of a cell, MenuShrink now uses the last buttong definition, which is more likely to be the right one.
                    • MenuShrink now updates some of the navpack's VOBU_SRI pointers, which fixes a problem one user encountered on his DVD recorder.
                    • If all the commands in a menu are NOPs or LinkNextProgram, MenuShrink will "kill" the cell (the menu is essentially a useless "intro"). This makes for better menu navigation.

                    Bug Fixes:
                    • Fixed a bug in the save log routine that sometimes caused garbled output.
                    • Fixed a bug that prevented restoring some backup files in some weird cases.
                    • Fixed a bug that caused menus to not show when animated highlights were present (very rare). This was the case for example for Spiderman 1. MenuShrink now only keeps the first subpic unit it finds in the menu.


                    Enjoy!
