Need help with DVD Decrypter to backup Total Recall....

[rubberman]

Trying to back up Total Recall which is single layer(4.29gigs). I used Decrypter and selected ISO read. After reading i went back and selected to ISO write. But when i select the Total Recall file that it made, there are 2 of them. One is 48kb and the other is 3.9gigs. Which one? thanks for your help!

UPDATE;

Well i selected the little file. The disc ended up being 4.xgigs. But it wont play in my DVD player. It recognizes it as a dvd but you can hear it spinning and trying to read it. I am using Verbatim media w/ my pioneer104. I checked the disc out and it has the files on there. Dont understand why its not working.

you can select the bigger file... have you tried computer dvd player? or only your standalone dvd player? It could be that your standalone wont read those dvd-r's?

Zzzzzzz

I have tried my stand alone unit(toshiba) and my Pioneer104. Which both dont read.

I have used DVD Decrypter just as you did several times with no problems.
1. Did you check the "burn-proof" box? This box needs to be checked.
2. Usually Write will select the correct file to write.
3. Some of the Verbatium Disks have been recalled or will not work {Verbatium 2X DVD-R, purchased before Oct 31, 2002}.

I have Sony DRU 500A DVD RW, in DELL computer.

Yeap the Burn Proof box is checked. I purchase the Verbatim Datalife DVD-Rs from BestBuy 2 weeks ago. They work perfect on my Playstation2 though.

Last night I used DVD Decrypter to read, then write US Marshals:
When I finished Reading, I had only 2 Files, these files were not in any folder.
I made a folder "VIDEO_TS, then placed the 2 files into this folder.
Then I used the DVD Decrypter ISO Write feature, selected the Folder, and DVD Decrypter did the rest. {NOTE: under setting, "ISO" All boxes were checked, and "Maximum File Size" was set to NONE.}
On the "ISO Write Main Screen" the only box checked is BURN-proof, setting : Data Type=MODE1/2048.
If this don't work try going to setting and resetting defaults:
I always enable streaming in IFO MODE and check off all subtitles and other audios except English.

The DVD-R that was produced works in my computer AND my 3 year old sony home DVD player.

Final note: I never close or finalize any DVD. {I tried this once and then it did NOT work in home unit}.

I'm not having much luck. I used PrimoDVD and did the Global Image method. It read the DVD fine. Burned to a DVD-R fine. But wont play. My DVD player on my computer says insert a DVD disc and IFOedit shows a green screen.

Well when i check to see what files on the DVD that i just burned, there are:

AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS

But when i click on AUDIO_TS there are no files in it. But when i click on VIDEO_TS, i get this:

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
2.VOB
3.VOB
4.VOB

but I dont understand how you can failed that DVD decrypter method?

I have the same pioneer 104 and I have done 30 copies from DVD-5 disks and all have worked fine!

This what I have done with DVD Decrypter:

"Mode" -> "ISO" -> "READ" and named the file something.iso

"Mode" -> "ISO" -> "WRITE" and open that something.iso

BURN

thats it...

If that wont work then it must be those verbatim discs??? or your pioneer 104 is broken???

Zzzzzzzzzzz

[rubberman]

My Pioneer 104 isnt broken cause i backed up a tons of PS2 games and never had a problem. I also dont understand why this aint working. But someone told me that Verbatim recalled some of their DVD-R discs but i havent seen anything.

[flys4fun]

I received a pink NOTICE from SONY, 2X DVD-R verbatim disks may not work if they were purchased before Oct 30, 2002.

I would also try uninstalling DVD Decrypter, then reinstall.

Go to this link http://www.verbatim.com/ , click on support on the left side of page, in the new window click on the "BLUE" product line box and highlite DVD-R {DVD}, then click submit. The most popular FAQ is the following:

1. Q: How do I receive replacements for defective product?

So they will replace my remaining untouched DVD-Rs with a new 15 pack?
