Have ripped main movie w/ Decrypter - How to burn?

[falberni]

Season's Greetings to All,

I've a couple of simple questions. Need your help please. I've ripped the main movie with the Decrypter to a VIDEO_TS folder. The following files are in the folder:

VTS_01_0.IFO 100KB
VTS_01_1.VOB 1,048,516 KB
VTS_01_2.VOB 1,048,516 KB
VTS_01_3.VOB 1,048,516 KB
VTS_01_4.VOB 1,048,516 KB
VTS_01_5.VOB 626,288KB

My first question is whether this will fit on one disk? I prefer not to re-encode it.

Second question - How to Author and burn this on a DVD disk? I have Maestro, and DVD Workshop to work with. I have IfoEdit but I'm not too familiar with it yet. I know how to bring M2V and AC3 files into Maestro but here I only have the VOB files.

Your suggestions would be appreciated.

what i would do is go to stream processing rip the video and 1 audio track. that way it will be under 4.7 gigs. you will have a m2v and ac3 file. then just author it with one of your programs DVD Workshop Maestro or IfoEdit. then just burn your new dvds files useing nero or whatever you have that can burn videos files.

ghoster,

Thanks for the reply. What SW should I use for stream processing? IfoEdit or what? Also, would I have to use the original DVD disk or can I use the files that I have already in the VIDEO_TS forlder?

well you will have to rerip for dvd. normaly i use smart ripper for stream processing because dvd decrypter creates m2v file for every vob file but it shouldn't matter. smart ripper creates one large m2v file. as for authoring i use ifoedit, then burn my files with nero.

Thanks for the link to your guides. They seem pretty detailed. I'd have to get into them a little deeper when time allows.
