I have a copy a friend gave me of a DL, just the raw files. I tried to run it through AnyDVD, DVDShrink, DVD Decrypter, Clone DVD2, DVDFab Decrytper, and vobBlanker after getting errors with one file. None of the mentioned programs would open or look at the files. Kept saying something about VTS_05_0.BUP and the VOB file with the same numbers. That file is the first file of the movie containing the menu. I was able to burn the files with nero but I had to override allocation errors and compliance errors. The DVD plays in my set top and in my puter but I don't understand why it was being a pain about being burned. Here is the first nero log. I aborted this burn and then tried again and told nero to ignore the errors.

firstly if it is indeed a .rar file you will need winrar to extract the files.nero or any of the above mentioned proggys will not open .rar files
