DVD shrink - i go into open files - go into 'my shared folder' then click on my 'films' folder and it doesnt open - this is the folder i downloaded my avi files to. I can go in and see all the files by using explorer but i cant open the film folder when im in software ??? I get an error message on dvd shrink saying 'failed to open video ts folder can anybody help
While I was attempting to run ImgTool, I experienced the same problem as your subject. What I did after ImgTool had run(when I finally found the files) was to create a new folder and to move all of the files into it. Also, I believe that I know what caused the problem. For ImgTool, The name of Output File must have Video TS as partof the name. For example: G:\DVD-File\Video TS.
My current problem is: Is there any way to save, say, one-half of a file if an error occurs before completion.
I am becoming a bit frustrated. All of the steps in DVD Shrink take a few hours EACH. If an error occurs "midstream," I have begun anew--losing 2-3 hours of work. There must be some method to save whatever portion of a process has been done. . . .
Alas!

WTF ?
DVD Shrink should take no more than about 45 minutes (even in deep analysis mode)
Start to finish of a DVD back up only takes about an hour or so , and that's burning at X2 speed.
Please give me some idea of why all of the operations that I have tried over the last several days have taken AT LEAST TWO HOURS each. But I recall that my first run with DVD Decrypt completed(just that portion) in 90 minutes. All of the other steps such as DVD Shrink, ImgTool--on two or three occasions--all took over 4 hours--if they completed without error.(Please see my previous posting.)
DVD Decrypter usually takes around 8-15 minutes depending (one original DVD I own takes ages but that is because Decrypter looks for certain key to unencrypt & is a rare example)
It will of course depend on what drive you're ripping/unencrypting with ... for instance I used to use DVD Burner but that old thing would only rip at X2.5 (at most)
New DVD Rom I was able to rip upto four times faster than previously.
I have a feeling that you have something wrong with the set up of your PC , cos none of the operations should be taking you anywhere near as long !!
