GSpot confirms its PAL encoded. but DVDFlick will not accept the one large VOB file (about 4gigs); "the file may corrupted or its format may be unsupported."
im on Vista Home Premium, on a PC. i dont know how to confirm which file system im under, but im assuming NTFS just cuz its windows.
i did just that but it doesnt specify one or the other. closest that anything comes to fat32 or ntfs is: "system type: 32-bits OS"
Seems odd that it won't accept all the VOBs, hence my suggestion to try it with one large (merged) one. With Shrink did you use 'Movie only'? Will the large VOB play on your computer? You could also try renaming the .VOB to .mpg.
DVDFlick will not accept the large 4GB file either i know of no such setting in DVDShrink. unless ur refering to RipIt4Me, in which case, no. id prefer having the menues if at all possible. the large .VOB file will play on my comp fine tho the aspect ratio is off. converting to .mpg did not allow it to load in DVDFlick either, w/ the same error message.
as it stands for the codec, i reinstalled K-lite Codec Pack v3.8.0 making sure mpeg-2 codec was selected but DVDFlick will not accept the large .VOB file. im not sure that the file is corrupted, cuz itll play fine on my comp's dvd player, or VLC, unless there something more im missing in this regard. here's where i d/l the .iso file to beginning w/ http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/17408112/hackers?tab=summary maybe u could try it urself and see whats up? assuming that ur in north america aswell.
saddly that method did not work either. it produced the same results as all the others. [thanks for ur attention on this btw ]
hi, does anyone know if there is a solution to keep intact all of the menus, etc when burning the ISO? Also, are the methods outlined in this thread deemed to be the most effective when trying to convert PAL ISO to NTSC?
frankly, if i was in ur shoes simply loading the IOS file into ImgBurn or DVDShrink and selecting what u do and dont want, including menues, is what i would do. and this thread may in fact help u w/ the PAL/NTSC issue, but it did not help me cuz i think the DVD player i had was a piece of poop. i got another, better player and it worked.
i was thinking of opening the ISO in WinRAR as Rotary mentioned and attempting to extract the contents, then loading them into a program like DVDFlick or ConvertXtoDVD and choosing NTSC as the output. My main 'problem' at this point is getting the all of the files properly converted to NTSC so they will play in my standalone. i also like the idea of keeping all the menus and such but if i can only get the main movie i guess that will do. anyone know the reason why the menus and stuff cannot be kept ? does the output get too large if you attempt to keep everything ?
