Since you are starting from the begining, try this. Using Smartripper, click "files" in the rip method. Then click on the "all" button. Don't forget to set a new Target folder. If you want help with the settings tab, let me know.

Another thing with the DVD that I am ripping is that it has Standard OR Widescreen option before the menu...Maybe I should try a differant DVD?

In that last screenshot I posted I think VTS_1 is "Standard" and VTS_4 is "Widescreen" ...

I should just strip and save one of those right?

The region code will be taken care of later. First thing is to make a copy of the ENTIRE DVD. Then you can eliminate everything else you don't want. There are many diferent ways to rip, this is just the way I do it.

As for the region code I have been asigning it to region 1 right after I rip the files to my HDD....I do it with IfoEdit...Could that be the problem

The link you posted does work, but if you look at the URL, your'll see a <br> behind it. So it's probably your posting.
Now, about your problem, have you been working with the same DVD-movie the whole time, or have you had the problem with other movies too?
Also, what you can do is start from scratch with a different movie. Rip the DVD, open IfoEdit and play this movie before you do anything else. If it plays, start stripping, then try to play again, etc.
When the movie is exactly what you wanna burn, hit "Get VTS sectors" and go through the process. Restart IfoEdit and press "Region free". If everything still works, burn it, but do WITH an empty AUDIO_TS folder. Afterall, it doesn't take up any space, and my brand-new DVD set-top player is very picky with folders and discs, yours could be too... Later, when everything works, you could always try to leave it and see what is does.

But do you know what the problem was then? Or do you feel you did everything the same as before?

The problem was I misunderstood that when I open up my folder to Get VTS Sectors I did NOT need to do that for the VIDEO_TS.IFO file...Just an example of a no0b needing EXACT directions...Thanx again guys


Lets move on to my next question(New thread)

Bit of an old thread this so I don't expect a reply. This is by far the best guide I have found but I am unsure of a couple of things.

When I have the two DVD 1/2 folders after stripping. I then use ifoedit to get VTS on each folders ifo files yes? Then it talks about putting files in both folders. From the ORIGINAL unstipped movie file or the stripped files, duplicating files in both? It's not too clear.

I have managed to burn a couple of films onto one file but they stutter a awful lot, the media I'm using or my stripping technique?

I don't expect a reply but I so dangerously close to success it would be great to reach the finishing line!

Kam.

Running XP when I use msconga's guide to splitting dvd9 to 2 dvds I get an error in IFOedit that shuts me down. (closes IFOedit). I've read pretty much that is a case by case for XP. When I go to slipt to 2 folders dvd1, dvd2 thats when IFO closes. CAn anyone offer me any insight in to how to get past this?? Uhh I made it to step 4 in msconga's 15 may 2002 post in splitting dvd9 to 2 dvdr's. I also tried to download the ASPI thing but its saying I don't have the file/software installed when I try to install it on my system.
I have all of the files and they work using my dvd player when I preview them in the playlist. Trying to copy Lord of the Rings.

If you don't rip the entire movie (all the files) with DVD decrypter then IFOedit will close down when you try and use it with XP.
Try ripping everything off the DVD and then doing your stripping with IFOEdit

I'm up to step 6 now using msconga's guide, I downloaded the ASPI drivers and it corrected the XP error in IFOedit, and I was able to strip...but now....
I can't find the 'Get VTS sectors' button...HELP!
In my IFO menu I have tools, VOB xtras, Movie only, settings..

and at the bottom tabs are...
region free, delete playback, create tmpg, I can't click the create IFO tab, menu xtra, dvd play, preview.

Just to let you know I have crossed that finishing line! I have a working backup of Memento.

Everything I was doing was cool but using crap media, hence it was stuttering like a bitch.

I bought a sample pack from a website and tried a couple of the discs using the same files. Finally 'white label' discs from www.blankshop.co.uk. worked a dream.

I did use Prassi but I don't think that made a difference against nero.

For those still going for it, persevere! I think using win 2k might make things easier considering the XP problem threads I've seen.


Many thanks all who have contributed on this thread, Couldn't of done it without you.
Till Later, Kam.

Keep trying

Question?? What is a whitelabel Disc?? I bought a 5-pak of verbatims from Best Buy $30, and thought it was a good deal. Nice color and dvd cases. I've successfully gotten LOR ready to burn, but recordmax and roxio won't read the blank dvd in my drive. I can still burn a cd so the drive works, but when I hit the record button it continually asks 'insert blank dvd and retry' So I'm thinkin now its the media, but my blank Pioneer dvd-rw that came with my system won't even do anything. I got off the subject, I kno. Why doesn't decrypt or smartrip work once ur ready to burn a dvd9 or am I not doing something right? Decrypt isn't reading my files when I open them.
***I'm running XP and IFOedit works fine for me. I did however have to install/uninstall a few times, oh and ONCE I GOT THE *ASPI DRIVERS* off of their website IFO works like a charm.
