Trying to Burn 'LOST': encountering problems

JJYkim
I edited my last post. In it you can see what you had to have done and what you should have done. I'm starting to get the impression you're messing with me or refusing to follow directions. There's no way you would get a Video_TS folder from an ISO selection with Shrink.

 

Now I understand what you mean.
Thanks for pictures. (it's worth a thousand words as they say)
With the luck I have with computers, it would've been days before I figured that out.

Here goes again.
DVD Shrink is encoding as we speak.

Thanks~

 

BTW, looking at your screen captures they make sense. Your source files are in Ripped Movies. The Shrink output is the C:\LST ON NT2. Without being there to see what you're doing, I have no idea how you once again got a path on the top of Shrink pointing to a file instead of a folder.

Read and comprehend http://www.ripit4me.org/guide.html .
Along with that read the guides on DVD Shrink, here at AD, at Digital Digest, MrBass.org, Doom9, and DVDShrink.info (there's plenty, find one you understand best). ImgBurn is covered in detail here on AD, you can also check out the homesite for the software. You are getting output now, so it doesn't appear to be the software. It appears things are now in the arena of user interface.

 

You're welcome and don't forget to set the burn speed in ImgBurn. Note red boxes in capture below. Set speed and make sure path is correct. Leave rest of settings at default till you learn the program. Once initially set, the speed settings should remain the same till changed. Meaning you don't have to set it each time you use Shrink, but you need to the first time or you run at Max speed of your media.

 

Yup. Made sure it's at 6.
Don't be surprised if I post again tonight.
I must be a jinx around computers

 

Sorry but you are all wasting your time.
Get rid of the PC and buy a MAC. The new ones will run PC and Mac software. Then sign up to 'Mac the Ripper'. This will rip all your DVD's and is all ways being up dated, so as new protection codes are released, then the soft ware moves on again.
PC's and Vista are not the answer, anymore.

 

About as true as it is relevant to this thread.

 

if Only i had the money...

 

adbjm,
Only you must be the only one to have an updated copy of MTR as it has not been updated in a long while(last update 3/05). It can not handle the new encryptions. Besides why would I pay $2500.00 for a Mac when a $600.00 Windows OS computer will do the movie.

Below is the MTR site for you to see and learn from:

If I had the money I wouldn't waste it on a Mac. My statement meant I didn't believe the worth of the Mac and Car.Mike explained why. If a person is going to run PC software, and most of the best software is written for PC, it only makes sense to use the less expensive PC to do so. Mac has always been a niche computer. PC has proven to be mainstream. Unless you need a Mac to run Mac specific programs, such as some of the desktop publishing, there's no need to waste the money.

 

Thank you all for your attention. This is a forum for people to express their opinions and views, without a backlash of nasty comments.
But I have broad shoulders.
On the mater of MTR, the last up date to members was Nov 06 and the next is due in the next couple of weeks.

Have fun, and enjoy life its too short otherwise.

Did you get your backup. I think I finally found how you were getting VIDEO_TS.IFO at the end of your path. Call me slow. LOL

Your comments have no relevance to this thread or even this section of the forum. I'm sure someone may be interested in MTR in the MAC section, but few would be here. Going off topic is a problem. I hope you won't continue to contribute to it. Telling someone to buy an expensive computer with fewer software alternatives is not a likely solution to a PC help thread on video backup.
