Q: What is a DSL file?
Damaged Sector List.
When MTR (in Legacy+ engine only) encounters damaged sectors it logs them and at the end of the rip creates a file (DSL) that it places in the ripped movie folder along side the VIDEO_TS

but I'm curious, this would only appear on RIPPED commercial discs,
not on actual store bought commercial discs....

[rotuts]

thanks for the double reply

Ive looked into it and one of the discs out of 5 was 'ripped' and replaced as the original was damaged.

the question is, will they play normally?

wouldnt want to get to episode 82 and not find out what happened!

thanks

[terryj]

if the person ripping and backing it up knew what they were doing,
then you should be fine.

If they didn't , well then you'll soon find out....

[rotuts]

Noooooo! how can I find out!

is there any way to 'Test" the DVD? maybe Yade X w the cursor?

how can I possibley watch E 83 W/O E82

cheerfullness your way!

[terryj]

what I mean by that rotus, is that you'll only find out
by playing the dvd.

no real way to "test" it other than THAT way.....
