I assume DVDShrink requires the presence of the ts_iso file as I get "file not found" messages when I omit it. But if I use DVD Decrypter and chose to back up only the main movie files it doesn't include this file. From my very rough understanding of DVD file structures I am assuming that ts_ifo acts as a "contents page" for the vob and other ifo files. To stop rambling on and come to the point can I include the ts_ifo file along with the main movie files or will this cause a problem as it'll refer to files that I haven't included. If I don't include it is there a way I can load the main movie files into DVDShrink.
Yes, I'm working in ifo file mode. Re-reading my original post I'm not sure if I've been very clear. From reading various FAQ's it doesn't seem essential to include the ts_ifo file when using DVD Shrink in IFO file mode but if I don't I'm getting the "file not found" message, but if I do include it when working with main movie titles only I'm guessing that may cause problems.
The VIDEO_TS.IFO file is needed. Its the VIDEO_TS.VOB file that isnt needed and usually isnt ripped from the disc.
I see where I've been going wrong, i.e. I realise I know so little it scares me. Backing up audio CDs is soooo much easier. Thanks for the help.
No problem, if you get stuck again just ask and we'll try. When you started out at CD's you probably werent too sure either :-D
