Ripping a dvd burned with phillips stand alone recorder HELP

[beatmeifyoucan]

Hey all,

I have been achiving a ton of my vhs tapes to dvd using a phillips stand alone dvd recorder. Well what i was wanting to do is rip the dvd to the computer to play a tad with some of them. I tried DVD shrink, which works perfect for Regular DVD's but, i get a shutdown error when trying to rip anything that i have burned using the phillips, any ideas or other ripping programs would be great.

Thanks guys,

Since the disc isn't encrypted , you really don't need to rip it. Just copy and paste the Video-TS folder to your hard drive.

i had the same problem as you. I will soon be uploading my guide. But here is how to do it.

1. Rip the dvd in in IFO mode. Rip it to your hard disk, do each recording to a separate folder
2. open IFOEdit, open the IFO in it from one of your folders, Go to VOB Extra's, Create New IFO's.
3. when the window comes up, make sure the destination directory is in that folder. click ok. it will create new IFO's
4.Open dvd shrink.
5.Open files ----> choose the IFO in the folder you have just created with the new IFO's

*do stage 1 with DVD Decrypter

Since it's not encrypted wouldn't you just do as dafoe said, just copy it to the drive directly?

I just burned a raw mpeg2 file at home to bring to the office, I just Ctrl C in the file on the DVD and Ctrl V in the folder I want it in with windows explorer once I got here! Very simple really

I also did that once or twice with a DVD I burned on my PC burner I needed to make changes to.

Also I use Tmpgenc DVD author, when I wanted to edit a DVD I already burned I selected add DVD files, then it asked if I wanted to open from disk or copy to the hard drive. Copy to drive worked fine that way too.

I would think about any methode used to move files should work, it's not encrypted or larger than a DVD R disk, so you shouldn't really need to use decrypter or Shrink anyway.
It probably doesn't hurt to use those if you want, and I have read a post or two saying it was faster to copy the files using Shrink or decrypter than using windows explorer to copy, but any methode should work.

Are you sure you don't have a disk related problem? Your drive does read that format of disk right? You didn't use a ram disk or something??

this method has worked for everyone i know who has had this problem and tried this soloution. I too have a philips standalone recorder. Since the dvd which is created by philips has a VideoTs Folder insead of an AudioTS folder you can try doing it your way. I doubt it will work. But this way takes a bit longer than copying from windows explorer and pasting. But if you want to do it properly do it the way i have figured out.
