First off, I want to clear the air on the movie I'm trying to burn. It's a movie I downloaded off the internet but it's not a pirated movie. This movie was bought and paid for from a site that rents and allows you to download purchased movies. Now, my problem is I purchased and downloaded Seven Samurai to my hard drive. I'm trying to use DVD X Copy Express to burn it to DVD. I created a DVD folder and made a video_ts folder for it. Yet, when I try to get Express to read the movie I keep getting this error: video_ts file cannot be opened/missing file What do I do?
(1) Just out of curiosity, what's the web site? (2) Have you tried opening the video_ts folder in Shrink?
The website is LikeTelevision.com You'll find all the classic movies and television shows there for sale. That's another story but no I haven't used Shrink. I don't have that downloaded. I was hoping Express would handle all the lightwork. The only programs I have for burning is DVD X Copy Platinum and Platinum RF.
Just looking at their website it looks like their downloads are just MPEG files, and not actually authored as DVDs. If that's the case, you'll need to at least author it before you can do anything with XCopy. You can use Rejig (free) to author with or get a commercial program like DVD-Lab or TMPGEnc DVD Author if you want menus. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/rejig.cfm
I authored the movie using rejig and I'm still getting the video_ts file can't be opened. Then again, maybe I did something wrong. I authored using rejig and took the files that were created and dumped them in the video_ts file. Then I tried to get DVD X to read. Did I do something wrong?
Is VIDEO_TS all in caps or is it lower case like in your post. I don't know if this makes a difference to XCopy, but it's the only thing I can think of. You could also try downloading DVD Shrink to see if it will open the files. I've never had a problem opening DVDs authored in Rejig with Shrink.
