Greetings- I have a dvd of old home movies that is seriously corrupted. I have tried to play the disc in a half-dozen different dvd drives and standalone players with no success. If I load the disc into my computer's dvd drive and use My Computer to try to see the files on the disc, I can't see anything.

I tried both DVDShrink and DVD Decrypter to rip the data on the disc but with no luck. The only thing I can get to work is IsoBuster which sucessfully reads the disc and rips the data as .tao files.

So...how do I convert these .tao files to something I can burn? IsoBuster is the only program that will read the .tao files. I used Folder2Iso to create an .iso file from the ripped .tao files and that works successfully, but the resulting .iso is relatively tiny and when I burn it, using either DVD Decrypter or EZCD the resulting disc doesn't contain any video.

Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious? The ripped .tao files seems like they are the correct size(total of just under 4.7GB) so I know I have the data, I just cannot figure out how to get it back onto a dvd.

Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue. I had a "bad" disc and pulled the .tao files off of it with ISObuster but what do I do now? I can't figure out how to make the .tao files into an .iso. How do I make these files readble/usable again?? Anyone?

Here is what I did to successfully solve this problem:

After using IsoBuster to rip tao files from my disc, I then download TMPGEnc v2.5 and did a simple multiplex to the .tao files(within TMPGEnc, goto File>MPEG Tools).

I then downloaded the demo version of TMPGEnc DVD Builder 1.6 and reauthored the multiplexed files into Video_TS and Audio_TS files.

I then burned these with my regular DVD burning software and everything plays perfectly.
