OK, i was rebuilding games before that tool was made so i guess i am just oldschool, LOL
By the time they came out with that i had already switched to using a mod chip and did not have a need to rebuild anything.

i use Nero to rebuild image and burn and IsoBuster to check the location of the files on the DVD.

I've always used the Isobuster to extract and rebuild in $ony cdvd gen then burn the iso wiv decrypter, thats the way i've done it until now, what is better using Decrypter or Nero to burn?. I think i'll give nero a try if it works beta. I noticed more than ever now more later games usually need a rebuild now. Why is that now some games had visible dummies and then now they've got some huge unseeable hidden shit data that doesnt add up to in total files size. Merc was a good one 4GB which realy was only 1.8gig after rebld.

Exactly what I do! Still the most sound method in my opinion! Been doing this for ages and it's never let me down bar one or two games that were problem ones anyway. It's definitely the method where you have the most control over every single step. You forgot to mention one step though - using CDDVDGen Isobuilder to create your .iso file after using CD/DVD-ROM Generator ;)

Once you've done it this way a few times it becomes second nature. Although it takes a little time with games that have tons of files, as I said before, you control every step of the process and to me this just feels much better than letting a tool takeover when you can't see exactly what it's doing (if that makes sense). Personal preference anyway as I'm a control freak :D

DVD Decryptor still kicks arse IMHO!
