How do i copy .iso file to dvd

Hi guys,
I got a copy of school of rock from my mate,And tried to make a copy for my daughter using dvd shrink but got errors,So managed to make .ifo file using decrypter but don't know what to do now,Can anyone help please....
Thanx....

 

Sorry guys It's .ifo not .iso as it says in the title,don't know how to change the title thread.

 

Using Decrypter, change the mode from ISO Read to ISO write and burn your disc -

Ya really have to read the guides -

 

its probably too big just burn straight to dvd. you can open the iso in dvd shrink to shrink it if needed.

 

Hi guys,
Scubapete i have read the guides i have copied a few discs,I have ripped as .ifo using decrypter as it was the only perfect read i got,I was getting errors with dvd shrink and iso read with decrypter,I now have ripped .ifo and don't know what to do with it.
Cheers.

 

Hi dougal,

The .IFO files are files containing parts of the files needed for a functional DVD, i.e. menu structures, audio and subtitle information etc. You need all the files from the original DVD, meaning all .IFO, .VOB and .BUP files in order to have a functional DVD. There's no use in burning just a .IFO file, it propably will just have an unfunctional menu if even that on it. If you used DVDDecrypter for the rip but if you just chose the .IFO file instead of all the files, you will have to start from scratch again and do the ripping again.

I hope you get your backup done!

 

Hi ketale,
I ripped all files as .ifo,
here's what i have in video_ts folder.
VTS_04 STREAM INFORMATION
VTS_04_0.IFO
VTS_04_1 VOB FILE
VTS_04_2 VOB FILE
VTS_04_3 VOB FILE
VTS_04_4 VOB FILE
Total 3.87GB
Cheers

 

you now need to burn using Nero or copytodvd or any other burning program out there

you might need to change the '04' part of all the above files to 01 to get it to be recognised though

 

oh, now I see what you mean - you ripped the files in IFO mode, not just the .IFO files

Did you use the "movie only" feature in DVD Decrypter or did you manually select the files? If you used the movie only mode then you might be able to directly use the Nero guide

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/burning_dvd_with_nero.cfm

If you manually selected the files yourself then it might not have all the files required for a functional DVD. You'll propably be able to watch the movie on your computer, but it might not be recognized in a standalone player.

But before you burn, use a DVD player software on your computer to check that the movie still works the way you want it to.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanx ketale,
Will let you know how i get on. ;-)

 

Huuuuum, wondering why there's no information backup file (BUP) there -

Should still work, if not, you'll have to run it through IFOEdit -
to generate all of your files -

Next time, if you're not going to go ISO read to ISO write, which is the easiest way, at least rip it in the "file" mode so that you'll have all of your files )

Anyway, Welcome to our little Club

PS - if you encountered errors, un-tick the "verify" box - located under destination

 

Hi again,
I managed to get it done with ifoedit,and i had to rename all my vob files as 1 instead of 4 and it worked a treat,thanx for all your help guys.
Pete i tried to rip it every way,file,iso,shrink,the only one that worked was .ifo do you think it's because there was a label on the copy.
Thanx again guys.

 

Labels can cause huge problem, I for one have ruined probably two dozen of discs by labeling them before I found out that they didn't work in some standalone players anymore and started stuttering and failing....

Now I don't label any of my DVDs anymore. Actually I've now started using printable discs and I'm looking into getting a printer to directly print onto the disc.

But hey I'm glad you got your backup

 

Hi ketale,
Cheers for that mate,now i know never to put a label on a dvd copy,Thanx.
Thedagger,Thanx man you were right,i had to rename vob files and it worked a treat.
Thanx everybody,Guess i can close this thread now,if i knew how,can i do it or does a moderator or someone close it.

 

You don't have to do anything. If nobody writes any additional posts to this thread it will soon by itself vanish into the great dark oblivion of the afterdawn archive
Glad you got your problem figured out! Cheers!

 

dougal58,

There is no way on earth that a label could cause you to have trouble ripping with one program and would allow ripping with another program.

I have over 500 DVD's with labels and you should remember the following - ALWAYS use a label applicator to insure the label is applied evenly. A label applied by hand many times is applied off center. DVD discs spin at a very high rates of speed, A DVD disc, being off center can adversely effect the reading of the disc and, in continued use, could even possibly damage the drive itself etc.
I have never come across a standalone that refused to play a labeled disc. I have seen a standalone that didn’t play one disc but did play a different backup. Go figure, huh?

The maximum is 2 labels per DVD. The second label can, in some cases effect the balance of the DVD - A DVD with two labels does in fact stand a chance of being rejected by finicky standalone. :-(
Should the label not adhere correctly (off center or clumped) the first time, the disc often times may be saved if 100% of the label is removed. If some parts of the label remain - say, "Bye, Bye -” Balance cannot be disturbed. In the 500 plus DVD’s I’ve done (starting to close in on the 600 mark) I have had perhaps, 3 possibly 4 discs that I “trashed” because of “clumped” labels.

DVD's with labels are extremely attractive. In a majority of cases, if the original disc is scanned, it is truly difficult to tell the difference between the original and the backup. I personally wouldn't have it any other way. The smartest way of course is to use printable discs (zero chance of disturbed balance) if you have a printer that can handle it. I posted this because both sides weren't represented fairly. Labels are fine. Feel free to make your own mind up
