fair enough dpcpro...I understand what you're saying. I think when the author mentioned the SmartRipper/Maestro...Demuxing/Authoring methods..they mentioned they've done 80 movies or so that way. I was offering the most simple way to back that particular movie up. I do understand your method and your point of view. We are all here to help each other, so hopefully the author of this post has backed Barber shop up successfully, with one of the two methods mentioned.
