Greetings all! I have only recently entered the weird but wonderful world of backing up dvd's. I tried to back up 'The Replacements' using DVD shrink. The program reported no errors. But it wont play on my dvd player - which i understand maybe a player error. But even when i insert it into my computer it wont play properly. The movie appears to have been split up into sub sections, which are different files. So to watch the movie i have to watch the 1st bit, when that finishes i have to go back to the folder and find the next section, etc. Is it supposed to be like this?
I back up my movies using the following method: DVD Decrypter to rip DVD2one to compress RecordNow to burn. There's some detailed instructions with pictures in the link in my signature. Hope it helps! Also, not that I think the problem is with your stand alone; you can double check it here: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php
It may well be the way in which you are burning it. Is it burnt inside a VIDEO_TS folder and what software are you using. try using Record Now deluxe: http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/recordnowmax.htm
