To some extent it's just a matter of preference and habit. Some of the early "free" programs only burned iso image files. Some people like to burn their iso files with DVD Decrypter which allows them to view burning statistics in real time. ISO files can also be read and mounted as virtual dvds with software such as Daemon Tools and others. Traditional software players can then play the virtual dvd as though it was the real deal in a real drive. I tend to use iso files because they don't seem as messy as a folder full of VOB and ifo files. Think of them as an archive type file which is really what they are.
Quote:What is the point of having an ISO file , when you can just decrypt , shrink,
then burn vobs to DVD?
Some people dont want to pay the money for a burning app.Dvd decrypter will only burn iso's.Dvd decrypter, and shrink, is the only completely free ripping,shrinking, and burning, application available.
some of us believed we had to spend money (125 US$ for me)to get a good ripper, to be let down time after time.........untill i came to afterdawn looking for help with the xcopy gold and express and was introduced to shrink and decrypter for free by bigorange, havent looked back once at either dvd wizard pro or the dvd xcopy express and xcopy gold. For me if shrink cant do it then decrypter will..
