No. Post #6, my post, tells you to burn the folders to disk with imgburn. Post #16 mentions the iso image. An image .iso is an EXACT copy of your disk and you do not have to worry about the individual folders. You still use imgburn, in a different mode, to burn that to a disk.

sorry that is what i meant. OK thanks for the help

OK I burnt it with Imgburn. I burnt it from folders created with DVD Shrink. Does that have any un-neccessary re-encode

It plays on my blu ray thru TV

With your disk, dvd shrink will not re-encode. If it was a more normal play-length disk then it might. dvd shrink is designed to take a disk that has over 4 gig of files and shrink them to fit on to a 4 gig disk. The shrink process equates to a re-encode.

You disk will be well under 1 gig let alone > 4 gig so dvd shrink simply will not re-encode.

What you have proved is that you have created an EXACT copy of your original. If it was not an EXACT copy it would not play

Its only about 341MB i think. It's on the other PC

If it was not an EXACT copy it would not play

The one i created with convertxtodvd played as well and apparently that is not an exact copy

The easiest way is to open the VOB in MPEG-VCR then save it that way.....but it's not free. Best $19 I ever spent though.

I got a trial of MPEG VCR. What do I do ? Is it open MPEG movie and editor project? Then load my vob? What do you mean save it that way?

Thanks

The ConvertXtoDVD is not an exact copy but it is a standard dvd so it would play.

The +RM that was created acts like a standard dvd but it has this extra folder and without it players will cough.

I do not use MPEG VCR so I will leave that to my friend.

The VOB file on the DVD is obviously already DVD compliant MPEG2. For the simple task of changing the container from VOB to MPEG without re-encoding....I'd open the VOB(the one that has the actual video in it) in AviDemux(allow AviDemux to INDEX the video), set both video and audio to COPY.....set Format to MPEG-PS.....Save As: Your Clip Name.MPG and be done with it.
Now you have an exact copy of what's on the DVD without re-encoding(I'm assuming ConvertXToDVD re-encodes unnecessarily - many programs do).
Author a new DVD from the clip(if necessary).

I did that. I got an .mpg file and an IDX2 file withthe same name as the vob.What is that? I do not burn that?
The first time i clicked the > in the yellow circle and got a python file
MPEG VCR would not work it kept crashing

The .idx file is an index of the contents of the mpeg2 video. Think of it like the index of a book when you know what page you want to go to. The program creates the index so it can keep track of the I,B and P frames that make up the video. If you did not allow it to create the index then the program would crash.

Once you have created your mpg file, you no longer need the .idx file. And, yes, do not burn that to disk since that could confuse your player.
