Burning

[swanside1]

I have ripped a DVD, it now holds various vob files which are all under 4.1Gb.
How do I get this onto a DVD-r that will play in a General DVD player.:biglaugh:

[billy2hats]

u should have a folder with your rip in it did u rip the ifo if so get a prog called ifo edit when u have it start it up click on open get ur video_ts.ifo file from ur rip click on vmg then on regional code mask double click on regional code set it to 0 save it and bup and exit open up ur writing prog select data disc udf select udf version 1.02 very important now drag and drop ur audio_ts folder&ur video_ts folder no other folders so if you have renamed the folder change it make sure that only the two folder go in then burn 30mins later u have a backup region free dvd movie
software i use smart ripper,ifo edit,vob for burning

Thanks for that Billy.
What I have done now, is ripped it again using DVD Decrypter and in a folder I now have the Following

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_02_3.VOB
VTS_02_4.VOB
VTS_02_5.VOB
VTS_02_6.VOB

but they all amount up to 4.69 GB

Any Ideas on how to cut out the crap that I dont need?
or to make them smaller to fit onto a DVD-R

if u use smart rip u can select the audios u want to use like 1 audio english and video this will reduce the rip by about 400-500mg depending on how many audios the film has inc subtitles just select direct stream and de select the audios and subtitles u dont want u wont know how big the rip will be until u have ripped it hope this helps;);)

Thanks Billy2hats. I tried that and found the size went from 4.67 to 4.1.
What files do I need to get this to play on a DVD.

When I rip it, do I need these files?

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_02_3.VOB
VTS_02_4.VOB
VTS_02_5.VOB
VTS_02_6.VOB
Thanks M8

just read ur last post again im not sure about the vts_02.ifo file if it plays on the player leave it if it doesnt take it out and try but dont waste ur discs until you have checked it all on the player sound and all lip sync etc hope this helps;) ;) ;)

[bill343]

Thank god someone seesm to know what to do with VOB files. I am curious, i have wasted two discs already, but by following these steps I should end up with a disc that will play on my home dvd unit? Or do I have to get a new dvd player that recognizes DVD-r? I hope not......

[bill343]

I have three different dvd players (standalone) , and APEX 600A, A Panasonic A110 and A Toshiba, I I don't know the model number of that one. I am at a loss with some of your info. I don't have a VMG file in my Video_TS file. Or an Audio_TS folder. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any info.

[species8514]

My Apex 600A didnt play dvd-r until i upgraded the firmware to LD12 - although make sure you get the right firmware else you can screw you're player.

If anyone is looking for a dvd player that plays almost everything i would definatley recommend the Daewoo 3000 - i found one on Ebay for $50.

bill u need a prog called ifo edit when u start it up click on open and select the ifo file u just ripped vmg listed thier
