I'm using the same programs you list to copy TV episode disks and it works flawlessly. The following was written for DVD2ONE version 1.00


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this is clear.

1.) Rip the DVD with DVD Decrypter in file mode so you get al files

2.) Look at the file structure in Explorer,you need to identify the main vob files.
They appear as a series of 7 or 8 vob's,that's the actual episodes

3.) Move those vob's to a directory named "Source"

4.) You should keep Make-It-Easy open thru-out this process. Start Make-It-Easy and navigate to the sourcdirectoy you created,select the first vob.

5.) In version 0.15 put in the size of the menu extras,that will be the remaining file size of the
directory where you ripped the DVD after you move the vob's to the source directory.

6.) Make-It-Easy will then fill in the amunt of padding needed,click Pad Original Vob Set.

7.) Make-It -Easy will add the padding to the vob's in your source directory.

8.) Now that your source directoy is padded you need to create ifo files for the new vob's so they can be opened in DVD2ONE.

9.) Open IFOEDIT and Create IFO Files,navigate to the sourcdirectory and select the first vob and click O.K.
IFOEDIT will create four ifo files for your source directory.

10.) Look at files IFOEDIT created,they must all use the same VTS number,for example the ifo files will be VTS_01
but the vob files will probably be VTS_02. Change the ifo files to VTS_02,this is required to open the source directory in DVD2ONE.
Start DVD2ONE and select the source directory as your source,create a directory called Destination on your HD
Use that directory as the destination directory in DVD2ONE

11.) Run DVD2ONE to trancode the vob files.

12.) Select the Destination directory in Make-It-Easy,Step #4 "Remove Padding" and click remove padding.

13.) Open your destination directory and look at the vob files after the padding has been removed.
They must use the same name as your original vob files. The files in your destination directory will be VTS_01.
But the files in your source directory will probably be VTS_02. Rename the files in destination directory to VTS_02.

14.) Move the vob files from your destination directory and put the in the directory where ripped the DVD.

15.) In Make-It-Easy goto step #5,open the original ifo file from the directory you ripped the DVD to.
It will probably be VTS_02_0.IFO and click update.

spiderman2k1 : thanks alot for your reply, i will try with Instant Copy7
wulf109 : so which software that you burn after all the process ?. I did same thing with your guide and i confuse at the step 15 : i got like like 6 IFO files, so VTS_02_0.IFO is the original fio file ?

Thanks for you help :

I use Nero 5569 to burn in DVD UDF/ISO mode and have never had a problem with playback. If the vob files were VTS02 then you should only need to update one ifo file,VTS_02_0.IFO.
Most episode DVD's use one set of vob files controlled by one ifo.
Some like the Farscape series use separate ifo files for each episode. In that case you need to process each episode set and update each ifo.
