are these files for DVD?

Hello guys,

I downloaded a torrent from Wild-bytes that should be the first disc of CSI season 1. It has 88 rar parts, i used stuffitx and i got a folder with these files:
CSI_DISC_01.I00
CSI_DISC_01.I01
CSI_DISC_01.I02
CSI_DISC_01.I03
CSI_DISC_01.I04
CSI_DISC_01.MDS

I tried to burn as a DVD Rom on Toast, but the result connnot be readen by my dvd player.
The folder size is 4.36 GB and the name is "CSI - Season 1 Disc 1.part001 Folder", the uploader said that he re-enconded the video with Shrink.

Any ideas to burn the dvd or is this a fake disc?

Cheers lads,

Try using a different program to decode the rar files like macrar

The only way it would be a valid DVD folder is if it was a VIDEO_TS folder that was 4.36gb, shrink or dvd2onex would never make a folder that had those contents

I have seen this problem on the Mac as stuffit does not decode rar properly at times, there are several other programs that will though

This page should come in useful

If you open UnrarX and then drag the main rar file into it (it will be the one of the 88 that just says .rar and has no numbers) it should find the rest and uncompress into one CSI folder that contains one big VIDEO_TS folder

Thank you very much my wise friend.

Sometimes its just easier to buy the DVD, and spend the time enjoying the content.

I couldn't agree more, but when you live in Chile and you cannot find the DVD with the english audio and the spanish subtitles, and you are a fan of the series you try other ways to get what you want. I do not want to watch it dubbed and my english is no as good to try to watch it without subtitles.

See my dilema, man?

By the way with suffit or with unrar X i get the same result, those strange files as i told above, any ideas will be fully appreciated.

It seems you need Windows software (DVDShrink, DVDdecryptor) to process these files.

Not really .. You can order from Amazon.com or Amazon.ca and have them shipped to you. The commercial version of season one has a Spanish audio track. I don't know about Spanish subtitles on this season .. However, assuming the version you dowloaded is the Region 1 version and has all the content en tact, you're going to end up with audio dubbed anyway. Seems like a waste of time. Chilean location notwithstanding.

You didn't make a good research.
1.- CSI season 1 on amazon.com or .ca has spanish audio or english audio, not subtitles in any language.
2.- I want english audio with english or spanish subtitles.
3.- The version that I donwloaded is a Región 2.
4.- Why this is a issue for you?
5.- You are not giving any answers, so do not waste your and my time making useless remarks.
6.- Let people think different from you.
7.- Cheers.

1. Piracy.
2. Pirates don't get answers.

Thank you very much Terryj I will try your way to join the files.

what is a guy against the piracy doing in a forum like this when most of the times (not always of course), everything is about converting copyrighted material? i don't understand why to bug other people when you can live your "legal life" and letting other live theirs.... (even if it is illegal)

One of the legitimate uses of this forum is to help people exercise their fair use rights where they have them (for example, here in the United States). Making a copy of a commercial disc you already own is an example of fair use, despite what the Digital Millennium Copyright Act says. Trying to unstuff and reassemble a copied DVD you downloaded somewhere off the internet that you're too bothered to purchase legitimately because you live in Chile and want what you want when you want it is not fair use, its piracy.

@Manolo - I checked out the torrent in question. UnRarX will work just fine for you. It's a standard torrent release like all the rest. And if it doesn't, ask the uploader what file type he rar'd, such as VIDEO_TS folder or .ISO file.
Being a VIP there, you should understand what MD5 (not MDS as you typed) files are. Oh, and I'd be a little hesitant to spell out torrent site names on public forums such as this. Teh owner does not like this and you know that they closed their doors for a reason

@markatisu - MacRAR is OS 9 only. Manolo is on OS X.

@case - One NEVER needs Win software with torrent files.

For the other silly comments re: piracy. I'm from Isla De Muerte.

LMAO@ricky1756!!!!

@terryj - MacPar Deluxe is a more rounded app, I agree. However, judging from the original poster's question, his lack of knowledge of MD5's, his usage on the website in question, as well as my usage of these websites in question, UnRarX would be more his speed in my opinion.
Oh, and your wikipedia translation of Isla De Muerte......OMG how funny! It's in my irc rooms already and we're loving it. Thanks!
