    I ripped a bunch of DVDs with DVD Decrypter but I made the mistake of ripping them in the wrong format(not ISO like I have in the past). For each rip I get 3 files like this on my hard drive:

    MOVIETITLE 0 KB IOO File
    MOVIETITLE 9 KB MDS File
    MOVIETITLE 3,997,502 KB IO1 File

    1) How do I play them on my computer?
    2) How do I burn copies of them onto a DVD that will play in a stand alone player?

    DVD Shrink wont recognize the format, which is strange since I thought it had in the past. VLC Media Player and WinDVD wont play them. Nero forces me to use UDF to burn, but then the copy wont play, it's just a data copy. I tried Alcohol and Iso Magic and they aren't processing these files either. Even DVD Decrypter doesn't let me write them to a disk for viewing, just a data copy. Any help would be appreciated.

    OK. I just did a brand new DVD Decrypter rip and made sure ISO Read was selected and the files appear to be the same as the problem rips. I was guessing that I had selected File instead of ISO Read when I made the rips that are not working now. Is it likely that this is the problem?

    I almost certain one of these rips was used sucessfully with DVD Shrink because I made a copy of it and have the Video TS files, but now this same rip will will not work. I'll try over on the DVD Shrink forum, but if anyone has any ideas as to why these rips now seem to be corrupted that would be great.

    OK. Did some more research. Seems the HD I did most of my rips to was a new one that I didn't realize was formatted in Fat 32. Apparently this causes problems but it isn't clear to me how and I want to make sure this is the issue before deleting all of these rips.

    I seem to be able to make a rip to this Fat 32 drive and then immediately run DVD Shrink on it and burn with Nero. When I come back to the file later (not sure how long) it seems that the original rip becomes corrupted somehow. Is this likely what it happening?
