I've been reading the site for awhile now as a guest and finally decided to ask my question. I recently purchased a 160GB External Seagate Drive. Besides backing everything up I wanted to rip my ISO video files there. I noticed after doing Sin City that I had two files with strange extensions (can't remember right now I know they were labeled xxx1 and xxx2). I was wondering if this is because I need NTFS on this drive. If so, is this possible. I'm not totally clear on what exactly that is. Thanks for any help.
your question is a little ambiguous..... can you find the files on your hard drive and what program did you use and what exactly did you want to know??
Sorry about that. No, I have deleted the files and I can't remember the extension. I used DVD Decrypter to rip the movie directly to my external hard drive. I just was wondering if I needed something different on my external hard drive since I have no problem with the files on my internal hard drive (windows xp). I just tried to move my Wedding Crashers backup (8,181,542kb) to my external hard drive and I get the following message: "Cannot copy Wedding Crashers: There is not enough free disk space." However, I have more than 100gb free. I'm just a little confused.
so am I! I have a 100Gig Maxtor one touch external........ I will back up a movie to that drive and see what it says!
do a reformat on that drive, i do not know if this will help ye,i got tired of paying big bucks for externals...i have 4-Maxtor one touch external hd..they cost to darn much... i did move in this direction i bought 4 adaptec external usb 2.0 hard drives enclosure kits..for 29 dollars each (on sale}..i installed 300gb 3.5 hard drives in each..i can copy movies to all the drives,and even rip to any one of those drive with out a problem..and i use 2-usb-2 burners. i feel the big diff is i do not use the on board usb-2 for my drives. i use those for printers and other junk.. i have 2 usb2 adaptec usb2 cards installed and use the driver that came with the cards..
well........ I just want you to know that I ripped 3 movies to my external hard drive without any problems using DVDDecryter! At first I put in the wrong destination drive letter and I got that error message like you got..... NOT ENOUGH MEMORY. So after thinking about it I looked into MY COMPUTER and noticed the error and corrected the DESTINATION folder in DVDDecryter and it worked fine! Is it possible that you put in the wrong Destination drive letter, like I did? mind you, I only use my Maxtor one touch II for backing up my hard drive and all my programs! But ripping movies to my external was no problem when using the correct drive letter! LOL
I don't think I was completely clear earlier. When I tried to rip using Decrypter directly to my external hard drive, I was able to, but ended up with 2 files. When I rip a movie to my internal HD, and then try to drag and drop it to my external HD I get the message about not having enough space. I will try again tonight and see what happens. Thanks for help though
I've dragged a dropped to external HD and never had a NOT ENOUGH MEMORY error message. If you only got 2 files from DVDDecrypter maybe your settings were wrong~!? here is a guide for DVDDecrypter: http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/backup with Decrypter&Shrink.pdf you might just want to glance at it for the settings to DVDDecrypter..... just in case something wasn't ticked in the settings and you just copied 2 files...... and not all of them!
