    when i copy discs with dvd shrink it works fine but when i try to copy files i get the message "failed to open file video_ts.ifo" the system can't find the file specified.I have searched my computer but can't find any such file, my young daughter has been playing with shrink and it worked fine up until then, i wonder if she has deleted something ( don't u just love them) if anyone can help i would be most pleased. thanks

    If you've searched your computer and the files aren't there (did you use Windoze Explorer?), then it's probably because the files have been deleted - assuming they were ever on your hard drive in the first place. Shrink can't find what isn't there.

    Do a general search for video*.* If your computer finds it, make note of whatever folder it's in. Then when you open Shrink, just navigate to that folder.

    If you don't have the files, you'll have to rip them again to your hard drive. Use DVD Decrypter, or another ripper program to do that.

    It's only 11:00 pm here so the night is still young.
    Try it and post back your results.
    Good Luck!

    Barry - sorry to have left the thread. The little lady & I went to dinner with friends. (Friday evening where we are.) Thanks to Binkie for picking this up.

    Looks like it's time to restrict permissions for your daughter's log on! You're lucky it was just movie files!
