thanks you are all a very big help i will that tomorrow i downloaded that program you told me to i will give ita look see in the morning i think looking at frusterating things is best done with fresh eyes niters all
andmerr We're in different time zones. I'm going to have to call it quits for now. I've been up all night. Catch ya later.
ok I ran the movie through that dvix to dvd program and it changed it in to a video_TS file and I updated nero now what? inside that folder it says video_ts bup, video_ts ifo, video_ts bup, video_ts ifo, and video_ts vob so I think its done right
Sounds like it's right. Use the startsmart and open Express in applications (window needs expanded to left with arrow on edge). Select Videos/Pictures, then select DVD Video Files to the right. Select Add on top right. In the new window browse to and select the Video_TS folder. Close the window you just used to add the Video_TS folder. The files from Video_TS should be in Express to be burned. Make sure the right disc format is selected DVD5 or 9. If the disc is already in the drive, it sets that automatically (I think). Click next and do the burn. When the burn options come up, click the arrow to the left to expand the window and set the burn speed, 4-6X is reasonable. Then burn it. Instructions for Express are on the website at Nero.com.
just saw your reply brobear so i 'll edit.Heres another solution using shrink in reauthor mode This guide is very easy to use.Click the link below http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/
andmerr I was assuming that it was the right size with him saying it was through DivXtoDVD and ready to burn. If so, running it through Shrink could be redundant. Less than 4.37GB for a DVD5 and Shrink isn't needed. If more, then your advice is sound. Crash64, What is the current situation, time to burn or run through Shrink?
you are right of course but with shrink the vobs that were converted can be easily detected as well with shrink in its reauthor mode. Time wise whether you use nero or shrink/nero is reality the same amount of time as nero by it self has to compile the dvd and shrink etc does a minor encoding before it burns to disc.
Doesn't really matter, but as you said, Shrink has to process the files and then send them to the burner. Maybe slight, but a time difference and using an extra app. If DivXtoDVD did the job properly, then XPress can burn direct by selecting (adding) the files to burn. There is one advantage to Shrink though, it is known to correct minor structural flaws in DVDs. Whatever makes the user happy on that one, it works either way.
wow it worked thank you allfor your help you have made this so much easier for me now. now my other problem if ripping DVD's how do I make back ups? I olny have 2 roms in my PC 1 CR-rw and one DVD-rw
Depends on the software you want to use. DVDs are encrypted, which entails a decryption utility. 2 types, driver and ripper. AnyDVD and DVD Decrypter are good examples. AnyDVD is the best and is kept up to date on a quick schedule as needed or improvements come along in development. Decrypter has lost support. Then you need to encode (shrink) for DVD5 or have a DL burner app. Then it's just a matter of burning. DVDs are easy compared to what you just did. Put the DVD in a drive that reads DVDs. Use DVD Decrypter to rip to the hard drive with AnyDVD running in the background. Open the decrypted files on the hard drive with the encoding software. Encode and proceed to burn. As a rule of thumb you'll need about twice the size of the DVD in hard drive free space to do the job.
If you want to keep menus and all, then you can use DVDReMake Pro. The DVDRemake Pro is a full fledged editing program. DVD2One joins video files as well, there's something in the name. Both those are retail.
