how do you make an .iso file using dvdfab hd decrypter?

[nerys]

Your words are not quite correct. the correct verbage would be "the outcome you are getting makes no sense to me"

since my words are pretty simple and clear hehe

yes 3.2 latest version. My backup window appears identical to yours.

I am trying a smaller than 1gb file to see what happens.

[nerys]

Hmmm now this is interesting. Tried a 586mb file and it made an ISO

but I now realize this is not relevant since I now told it to make a 4gb iso and ITS MAKING IT AN ISO not an I00 I01 Very intriguing. I have never tried this on the home computer which means "something" on the other computers is causing it to split the file into I00 I01 etc

I am going to put this copy of shrink on a disk and bring it with me and compare it to the version on the other computer and see if its any different somehow. (they both say 3.2 but maybe its a slight variation of 3.2 ??)

Very freaky. There must be some setting somewhere in shrink that causes it to split the file up. I already tried to use 1gb vobs check box and it had no effect. There must be some setting somewhere else that causes this.

the file size limit of a FAT32 drive is 4 gigs. if you are trying to create a file that is only 2.8 gig, it should work just fine with dvdfab or dvdshrink. was this particular file you were trying with dvdshrink over 4 gigs? if it was, then it will be broken into 1 gig chunks.

[TooLFooL]

also, the box that says "split vobs into 1 gig chunks" SHOULD BE CHECKED! that is something different...

[nerys]

no it was 2.8gb total. dvdfab works fine shrink does not BUT at home this copy of shrink made an iso. I can not see a difference in settings or version. I am going to take this copy with me and "see what happens" when I replace the copy at work with it.

[nerys]

I figured that was unrelated but I tried it anyway just in case as expected it made no difference in the iso file.

[TooLFooL]

so on the PC with a FAT32 drive dvdshrink split the output file, but on your PC at home it did not? perhaps it is part of dvdshrink's programming to automatically split the file if it is being written to a FAT32 file system?

[nerys]

Not sure. The primary drive on both machines is NTFS the thumb drive I am writing to on both machines is FAT32 and in theory its the exact same copy of Shrink on both machines and the exact same copy of windows XP SP2 on both machines (I will confirm that tomorrow) So my first assumption is there is some sort of "setting" somewhere.

Does shrink have any dependencies on other programs besides windows?

[TooLFooL]

so you're saying you have 2 computers setup the same, both writing to a FAT32 drive, but you are getting different results on each? well crap, i'm afraid i'm running out of ideas now..

Does shrink have any dependencies on other programs besides windows?

no not as far as i know.

[nerys]

negative. I had ASSUMED both flash drives were fat32 (since windows will not permit you to format NTFS to a flash drive)

the flash drive I tossed in at home "happened" to be my test case of using third party software to format a flash drive NTFS

once I saw this I realized what had happened. SO it seems shrink is hard coded for some reason to ONLY allow "split iso" on fat 32 partitions even if the total file is less than 4gb (kind of logical actually since its usually making the final project 4464mb and he probably just never though someone would make or need smaller etc..)

I had never TRIED to do it to the hard disk before getting home since I did not need the iso on the hard disk.

now i know to get shrink to make an actual single file iso I have to make the target drive a NTFS partition. No big deal.

so i can just select video_ts and it will burn the whole thing to a dvd-r even without a iso file?

are there anyway to select iso output on dvdfab hd decrypter?

ok if you really want to save it as .ios then just use dvdfab 8.0.8.3 and save it in your desktop.. dvdfab will automaticly save it as .ios file for you

I Just Use UltraISO to make a DVD movie ISO image or anything else.

Its cool & easy.
