Hi All

I can make backup copies of DVDs smaller than 4.7 Gb OK, and they play ok on my DVD player. With DVDs larger that 4.7, I can extract them to my HDD, and they appear as VOB files (plus a few others). The problem is how to get them on to another DVD+R so that they play in my normal DVD player. It's not a question of size, its a question (I think) of file format.

When I try copy them as video files, I receive an error that they are not video files. When I copy them as Data, my DVD player won't play them. I know that my DVD player can play DVD+R, because it's the same type of disk I use when I copy smaller DVDs. Do I need to convert them to something else? (I don't understand why, because they are VOB files on the original) If so, is there a free progam that will convert them?

I apologise if this question is really stupid, but after downloading umpteen DVD writing tools and wasting DVD disks, I reckoned I have to ask.

Thanks

First... what program are you using to rip the VOB files from the original. For movies larger than 4.7G you need a program that can compress them to fit a satandard 4.7 disc. DVDShrink comes highly recommended on this site. It can decrypt and compress the files but you do need a second program to burn. DVDDecrypter and Nero also come highly recommended for burning. Shrink and Decrypter are free and Nero is a 30 day trial but updates once a month so you can download the free version once a month.

download and install DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter .

dvd shrink will reduce your original to the right size for burning and DVD Decrypter will do the burning for you.

as follows :-

1, put in your original dvd and open DVD Shrink.
2, select open disc (dvd shrink will now analyze your dvd )
3, select backup
4, now under select target backup , you want the ISO Image file and burn with DVD Decrypter .
5, click ok and your done

dvd shrink will now rip and recode your original dvd ,then burn using DVD Decrypter as iff it was an all in one program .

( i am asuming you are running windows xp with a ntfs file system , iff your not get back to me )

happy burning :o)

Hi

Thaks very much for the replies and suggestions.

To answer the questions:
-I'm using RipDVD, and I'm very happy with it as far as getting the files off. The DVD has several short (< 1 hour) movies on it, and I can get them off individually. As VOB files, they play perfectly on my PC.
-Size is not a problem, as each one is less than 3Gb.
-Yes, I'm running WinXP

I'll give DVD Shrink, Derypter and Nero a try and report back. (I'm going away for 2 weeks, so it will be a while).

Thanks again.
