I backed up a few dvds using DVD decrypter.. and I tried loading them in DVD Shrink.. and it said it couldn't find video_ts file. How do I fix this?
My other question is.. is using DVD decrypter to copy dvds to your hd the best way? Maybe I didn't have my settings right to keep the video_ts file or something. I am currently able to use DVDLab pro too. So let me know if theres a solution involving either dvd shrink or dvd lab pro.
Other programs are fine too I guess. I'll see what I can do. Thanks.

When you say you backed them up do you mean you ripped them to the hard drive ?
If so what method did you use to rip them.
My suggestion would be to rip them to your hard drive in 'FILE' mode and just use the save path that decrypter creates, this will put all the files you want into a 'VIDEO_TS' folder.
You can then open this folder up in DVDshrink by selecting 'Open Files' then finding the 'VIDEO_TS' folder and double clicking on it and clicking on OK, it will then open the DVD in shrink.
And yes DVDdecrypter in my opinion is the best way to rip DVD's onto your hard drive at the present time, although this may change in the future as DVDdecrypter will no longer be updated !

DVD Decrypter always rips the VIDEO_TS folder. Check your hard drive to see where you ripped the dvd.

They all have video_ts folders. And I did use File Mode I believe. I'd rather not re-rip them. I was following a tutorial I read a long time ago. That says you basically rip a dvd to your hd. Then you use IFOEdit and it fixes it up without certain subtitles or extra audio channels. It then creates a Video_TS.ifo file.
Maybe you guys meant I was missing the video_ts folder? I mean the video_ts file. My bad. IFOEdit would change navigation pointers and do all kinds of stuff.
But I was wondering if there was an easier way. Like using dvd decrypter and then some other program besides IFOEdit (because I don't even remember where I read the guide) that can add the video_ts file and edit some stuff out.
Or maybe an easier way with a program that both rips the dvd and inserts the video_ts file without audio/subtitle streams you don't want. I thought dvd shrink did that. Not sure if it ripped the dvd and made it dvd compliant wtihout the features you don't want. -
I think you better explain your process to us because I always rip with DVDdecrypter and have never had this problem.
I think you must be doing something wrong so explain your process in as much detail as possible and we can check it for you,
DVDdecrypter is the easiest way and you shouldn't have to create video_ts files afterwards -

When you rip in 'IFO' mode it looks like there will be no VIDEO_TS.ifo file created, all you will get is a VTS.ifofile and some VOB files.
And this will not open in shrink.
So I'm going to hazard a guess that you didn't actually rip in 'FILE' mode but in 'IFO' mode.
If this is the case you will have to rerip the DVD's again.
These are the settings I have,
Give it a go -
Yeah, I only ripped the main movie though. So don't understand why I would have to rerip when I already have all the vob files I need. I also have the vts ifo file. Just not the video_ts one.

You shouldn't need to use IFOEDIT if you are just ripping the main movie to HD then using DVDshrink to re-author/compress. -

ah ok. But from my experience, you can use IFOEdit to strip audio streams and then it automatically creates new ifo files. I have more than one movie thats like this. I don't want to rerip all of them because I'm missing an ifo file, because I'm almost positive you can replace the missing ones using a program like ifoedit.
I'm sure next time I'll use file mode and then use dvd shrink to strip stuff. IFO mode seems to be the best for selecting just the movie. -

I wish I could remember the guide I used. It was labeled like dvd9-dvd5. And you only needed dvd decrypter, ifoedit and rempeg2. Found it a long long time ago though.
