  1. Hi, hope somedone here can help:

    I got a DVD-R from a friend of a movie he transferred from VHS to DVD for me and I wanted to rip the movie to my computer and reburn since the discs I burn will play on my set top DVD player and his won't (not sure why since my players supossedly play all the +/- etc.).

    Anyways, he's done VHS to DVD transfers for me on the same brand disc, same way etc. in the past never had any problem, but this latest one, I ripped it and in my editior (I used Roxio Creator 2009/VideoWave but also tried Adobe Premiere Elements 7 & Windows Movie Maker on this with no luck (I have Vista) when I clciked on the where I saved the ripped VOB's and clicked "load" or whatever, the editor box is grayed out so I can't go any further, any ideas on what else I can try?

    If it's a compliant DVD, you don't need a editor, unless you plan on editing it. You can just copy it (The VIDEO_TS folder) to your hard drive like any other file.

    Or you could extract the MPEG file from the DVD with VOB2MPG and reauthor it. I suspect authoring errors are more likely the problem than burning or the discs used. Or the original file was screwed up.

    Or you could rip it with the old DVD Decrypter and author from that file.

    Or you can use DVDShrink in reauthor mode to fix simple authoring problems and burn it as a new DVD.

    I would recommend using ImgBurn for the burning part. It has a much higher success rate than most other burning programs.

  3. Sorry forgot to say, I do need the editor because I want to cut the ends off (commercials etc.) and (with Roxio anyways) if I try to go right from VOB to burning the resulting pictire on the disc I burn is shakey (and I'd prefer not to use APE7 because for whatever reason it takes too long to burn from that).

    First thing you need to do is rip the disc properly and convert the material to regular mpeg files.
