DVDFab Error Codes

Occasionally even robust software like DVDFab can encounter a situation with a DVD disc or system from which it cannot recover. When this happens, DVDFab will often pop up a box to alert you to the problem and if possible will note the failure with an error code in the task progress area of its window. These codes can help you or others diagnose the problem.

The first group of error codes are generated during the copying ("Task 1") part of the process:

  • 100 DVD_Error_OpenFile
  • 101 DVD_Error_CreateFile
  • 102 DVD_Error_ReadFile
  • 103 DVD_Error_WriteFile
  • 104 DVD_Error_FileScambled
  • 105 DVD_Error_UnexpectedPacket
  • 200 DVD_Error_IFOFileType
  • 201 DVD_Error_CopyIFOFile
  • 202 DVD_Error_WriteIFOFile
  • 203 DVD_Error_NoValidIFOFileFound
  • 204 DVD_Error_IFOFileMissing
  • 205 DVD_Error_NoLayerBreakFound
  • 206 DVD_Error_VOBFileDoesntMatchSectorSize
  • 207 DVD_Error_VOBFileMissing
  • 300 DVD_Error_OpenCGPFile
  • 301 DVD_Error_WriteCGPFile
  • 302 DVD_Error_InvalidCGPFile
  • 303 DVD_Error_OldCGPFile
  • 400 DVD_Error_TrancoderError (This error may have numbers after it; make note of them)
  • 401 DVD_Error_QualityUnreachable
  • 500 DVD_Error_CreateISO
