Can't get functional menu with Mac The Ripper

[mattgeorge]

I just downloaded MTR 3 and did my first rip. I got a video_ts file and dragged it into toast, made a dvd... put it in the TV and

I got three items in the menu, each was a file name.

One was the trailer, played fine,
Second was the menu - which flipped through each item, never stopped and would not allow me to select anything.
Third, was the movie, which was dubbed or played only (remember I couldnt' adjust or access anything on the menu) in dubbed French.

the film was Gattaca.

Long and short... what do I do to get an integral DVD that works like the original with respects to the menu function?

Thanks!

What version of Toast? What options? Did you verify the burn?

Please help us diagnose by givng more information.

[mattgeorge]

thanks! I am using Toast 7... not sure what you mean by verify...

i usually try to play the video_ts folder with apples dvd player before burning, this makes it easier to track down which stage of the process is causing problems...

Ok, so I'll try this, but I think you are saying that it will only help me diagnose... it won't cure the problem for next time. But what should I look for? just see how it plays...? It sounds like a good idea just because one of the wierd things is that Toast burns what appears to be a menu of its own, and then for example, one of the files in the Toast menu, is the actual menu of the DVD, which as I say, is non-functional, you just see it flip through itself as if it were pages, it doesn't hold still so you can select anything. Thanks for help!

if it plays fine before you burn it, it's a toast problem....otherwise it's a problem with mtr, which means you should check out their forums...

How did you get the VIDEO_TS folder burned on the DVD? Tell us exactly what you did. Step by step.

We can avoid a chat situation in the forum that way.

Matt or George or Whoever: Toast would only put in a menu
of its own if you selcted the DVD Video option instead of the
correct VIDEO_TS option. If the Toast window does NOT say
drag VIDEO_TS folder here, you didn't do it right.

That's what we mean by asking you to detail the steps you
took. Please don't make us guess/infer. It's unfair to the
unpaid help.

After too many iterations: user misunderstanding.

I have a coworker using MTR 3 trying to rip the main feature of Stranger Than Fiction. After burning in Toast he said it wouldn't play because there were no ifos.

I haven't seen the rip, but Daniel and Matt may be doing the same thing wrong. The ripped folder from MTR 3 should be ready to burn as a udf.

toast has an option to create a custom menu. uncheck that option before burning.
