After you extract the ISO from the RAR file, use WinRAR again to extract the contents of the ISO to a temporary folder, which WinRAR will treat like any other archive, and then use DVShrink, CloneDVD2, or whatever to split or compress the DVD as desired.
ok, so I used WINRAR to extract the DL-ISO. I now got the Video_TS file which contains the DATA after Extraction(about 8gb) I used DVD Shrink 3.2, which has Re-author Feature. I have "Backed UP" the first major part of the files (about 4G) to another Video_Ts folder. I have the following files now: VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB Then when I tried to use my SonicMyDVD program to create a video DVD with those file, I got an error message when it first tried to import the file. The error message is "Unknown Error -12016 -4" What do I do now? Do I need to create an ISO from these files first? if so, what do I use? Thanks a whole bunch
I don't know much about Sonic. Try creating a folder called VIDEO_TS and putting those IFO, BUPs, and VOBs in there. If that doesn't fool Sonic it's because your DVD is non-compliant. I can tell that just by looking because there is no VTS_01_0.VOB to go with the VTS_01_0.IFO and .BUP files. Look to see if Sonic has some option to turn off strict compliance or somesuch. Alternatively, you can use Nero (preferably, find a copy of either 6.6.0.18 or 7.0.8.2, and DO NOT use any other version, even more recent ones). Start Nero Burning Rom, use a DVD-Video compilation, and drag all those IFOs, BUPs, VOBs into the Video_TS folder in the compilation and burn.
