I am confused!

[spinner]

The backups I have made using rebuilder will only paly on the newest dvd player in the house. The other players tell me the disc cannot be played.

I am having a hard time beliveing its a problem with rebuilder. I believe I must have over looked something but I can not figure it out.

I have converted the files that rebuilded has generated to an iso using folder2iso. Then burn with DVDD.

When I explore the backups made with rebuilder in windows the audio_ts folders are empty as expected. The video_ts folders look to have the correct structure and all the nessary files.

I have extracted an iso file that folder2iso made for me from a rebuilder back up and ran it through shrink, the resulting iso from shrink that DVDD burned plays on all players.

Any help in this matter will be welcome.

Thank you
Doug

Sounds like folder2iso might be to blame. DVDRB makes its own ISOs, you know - why don't you try that?

Also, what media/firmware etc are you using? It might be a burning issue. Read the Golden Rules of Burning in my signature.

Are these very old players, then they might need the Audio_TS folder in the DVD also for compatibility.

Thank you for the quick response. No, I was unaware that that DVDRB could generate an iso for me. I was following a guide that suggested using folder2iso as a path to take. Unfortunately it seems that DVDRB dose not receive the attention it merits in the form of threads started and guides generated, or perhaps I might have learned that by now.

My firmware is up to date thanks to your signature as of last month.

I am using Ridata Ritek 8X and I burn at 4X

@Techreactor My other backups have no problems playing in all dvd player. The files on the dvds that don’t work do have audio_ts folders. I am close to certain that Blu is correct regarding folder2iso.

the freeware edition does NOT have the "output to iso" option

Then consider making an ISO with PgcEdit - see here.

the guide for using Pgcedit to create an iso is great!

Problem solved!

much appreciated.

Did I degrade DVDRB's effort by having shrink recreate an iso?

Not if it already fitted onto a DVD5 - it just runs through with no compression etc. Setting DVD Shrink to "No compression" means it just does nothing.
