I have backed up my entire movie collection to discs using Clone DVD/AnyDVD.
I purchased a D-Link Media Lounge and now I want to play the files created by Clone DVD on my hard disk using the Media Lounge. According to D-Link tech support, Clone DVD re-encodes the files with a proprietary encoder which is not compatible with Media Lounge.
D-Link says the decoders they include are not compatible with Clone DVD. Under what circumstances does Clone DVD re-encode the files? Always? Only when you shrink a DVD down fit on a single layer disc?
I need to end up with an industry standard single mpg file.
I've tried running AnyDVD and then using DVD Decrypter with no options to detect/replace/repair anything (because it is out of date)to create a single .vob file. This didn't work and I don't understand why it wouldn't. Then I tried renaming the .vob to a .mpg file. This didn't work either. I tired using AnyDVD by itself and simply using the copy/binary command to copy the .vob's into a single .vob file, like "copy/b vts_01_1.vob+vts_01_2.vob+vts_01_3.vob singlefile.mpg" This didn't seem to work either and again I don't understand why it wouldn't work.
What happens is that during playback on the Media Lounge the audio and video freeze. The network diode keeps flashing indicating that it is still receiving data. Sometimes after I leave it for awhile, it starts to play again with out any intervention on my part. Sometimes it doesn't. If I replay the same movie file over and over again, it freezes at different spots.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong or how I should reprocess all of my files so they work with my Media Lounge?
I sincerely appreciate your help!
