I found a way. I imported the VOB into DVD-Lab Pro and "joined" the "sections" into a new VOB that had all the chapter breaks and even had the forethought of making sure the audio matched the video , a common problem I've encountered before.

I tried PGCEdit already, too. The output created with this method is not loadable in DVDShrink. Shrink returns the error that it cannot find VTS_01_2.VOB. Plus, the files created lock up my DVD player software when I try to load them.

Sure did. Tried it again just now. No file to input.

That's not working. Under ReAuthor in DVDShrink, there's no input from the target directory which can be loaded, e.g. no files in the right pane to move into the left pane. So, I can't do that, it seems.

I've got a video stream in the form of 3 files VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO and VTS_01_1.VOB I need to create a VIDEO_TS.IFO from this stream so it can be read in things like DVDShrink and other programs. Any way I can do this? Thanks!

Turns out it doesn't do much good. Microsoft just re-enables the download periodically.

So, I was in Staples the other day and noticed what appeared to be a new brand of DVD's and CD's. It caught my eye. But, when I took a look at them, they were just Memorex discs with a different style and logo on them than they had been using before. I guess they felt people knew too much about the low quality, in general, of Memorex media and thought by changing the logo, they could fool people into buying them again. Still, a horse of another color is still just a horse.

My new computer did not come with a floppy drive, nor is there a floppy drive controller on the motherboard for me to add one. However, I have seen USB floppy drives in a store here in town. I was wondering if anyone knew if you could boot from these drives with a bootable floppy. I think it depends on if your BIOS supports booting from USB drives, right? I think mine does so, in theory, one of these USB floppy drives should boot from a bootable floppy? Thanks!

I only went with AVG because in one of those threads, someone said they used it to cure it. I figure why not go with something I know works.

Looks like getting rid of that root kit also fixed another problem I was encountering. On start, Firefox was putting a DLL with some kind of Adware in it in the TEMP directory. ZoneAlarm found it each time. But, after removing the root kit files, that stopped, too.

Fixed the problem by getting AVG Rootkit remover. Unfortunately, I've already removed the files that were causing the problem. So, I can't send them. Sorry.

I use ZoneAlarm and it is up to date. Last updated on the 18th. Last AV scan was the 14th. Last AS scan was the 17th. I recall seeing some people saying it's a virus but someone saying it wasn't. Now since I have it and there's indication of an infection on my system, it is probably something else. Especially since I believe I HAD it working once on this new system, but, I no longer have that partition. So, I'll start testing partitions.

Was anything ever decided in concrete what causes this? Because now I have it and can't get ImgBurn to work. I am pretty sure it DID work once on one of my past partitions. I will start restoring down each one and seeing if it's something I am installing that causes it. But, in the meantime, I was wondering if there ever was a concrete answer for this "problem." Thanks!

Yeah, what I found while searching indicated editing the Registry. One solution I found that does work is to install a separate application called Creative Element Power Tools. It has a place where you can change the icon of an association under Vista.

That only changes the application used to open the file extension with. It doesn't have an icon option.

Where are the former Folder Options for being able to change the icon association with a file type in Vista? Back in XP, they were in Folder Options under File Types, but Microsoft fucking changed things once again, naturally. Thanks!

Never mind. I discovered what it was. Has something to do with Junctions, so the files aren't really there where they say they are. Great job, Microsoft!

I just got a new computer and am in the process of installing and setting settings. However, I've run into a snag I can't resolve. I can't access Documents And Settings. I can't access it in True Image backups I've made when mounted or explored. I also cannot access several folders in ProgramData like Application Data, Desktop, Documents, Favorites, Start Menu, and Templates. I've already disabled User Account Control which resolved a multitude of my inability to access things, but, I can't seem to figure this one out. But, whenever I try to access these folders, I get the message the folder is not accessible. Access is denied. Also, these folders have a tick next to them with an arrow pointing near 1 o'clock. I used to be able to access these folders under my old XP to Vista upgraded system, but, this is a new system with Vista installed default. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

Thanks! I didn't think to try right clicking on them. I never even thought about it.

Is there a way to hide updates in Windows Updates for Vista? I have a typical Microsoft fucker error that after installing the update, Windows Update wants to list it again as an update I need. And, any attempt to download the update again returns a typical Microsoft fucker error, this time the error is just the classic unknown error. Thanks!

http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/17786.cfm "Download Wall-E for just $62,000 Now! 26 April 2009 12:01 by James "Dela" Delahunty A caller named Alberto told an incredible story to HLN money expert Clark Howard on CNN which emphasizes once again, the need to read fine print. Recently vacationing in Mexico, Alberto used his data card to download Wall-E for his nephew. When he returned home, he was shocked to receive a bill for $62,000 from his wireless carrier. The carrier lowered the cost to $17,000 when he contested it, saying that is what it cost to deliver the movie to him. While that cost for downloading a movie is totally ridiculous whatever way you look at it, Alberto did make a huge mistake by not checking and activating roaming options for voice and data plans before he went traveling. Unfortunately, this is quite a common problem. There is another class action case brewing over a $2,000 bill received by an iPhone owner after using the service in Mexico. The carriers insist that the roaming charges in other countries are extravagant and that they have to pass on the fees to the customers. So, again, remember to check your carrier's website or any information you got when you joined for roaming options before you leave."

Nice to hear Microsoft (For once. ) fixed a known error that was their fault. It's also rare.

How about in any other mode?

Past beta builds of Internet Explorer 8 had a DLL that was conflicting with DVD Shrink. Caused DVD Shrink to crash, I think. I was wondering for when the time comes and I have to have IE 8 (Windows 7) has anyone installed the final gold release of IE 8 and has DVD Shrink encountered the old conflicting DLL issue? Did Microsoft fix it? (Yeah right. ) Thanks!

While we're on the subject, if any is still following this thread is there a way to determine whether a particular DVD+R DL that's already been recorded has seamless layer breaks on it or not?
