jimistgeil Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Hi, I use pinnacle studio 12.1 for video editing. The program naively creates double layers DVD's without an .MDS file and no layer break information. So in the past I used DVDDecrypter to rip the .ISO file to a video_ts folder and then used ImgBurn to build an .ISO image with layer break information and a corresponding .MDS file. However I upgraded my OS to windows 7, and I was looking for a way to use ImgBurn to create a suitable .ISO file. I tried two methods: 1) I used Winrar to simply extract the .ISO files to a video_ts and audio_ts folder, 2) I used DVDDecrypter to rip the .ISO to create video_ts and audio_ts folders. Each folder had the exact same files and that were all the exact same size, however I checked each set of files with a checksum utility and found the following: 1) Corresponding files with a .VOB extension were identical, 2) Corresponding files with .IFO and .BUP files were different. Why are the files created by each program different. Which set of files should I use with ImgBurn to create my .ISO file. Thanks -Steve
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Just mount the ISO in a virtual drive and then point ImgBurn's Build mode at it and make another one.
jimistgeil Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Should I point the source to the root of the drive of the video_ts folder. Just out of curiosity, why would the .IFO files be different?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yes, just add the root (D:\ or whatever) to the Source box. Certain pointers will probably have been updated (typically known as 'vts sectors'). ImgBurn would do that again when making a new image so it's not something you need to worry about.
jimistgeil Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 One last question, I occasionally get the 'End of the World' problem and I resolve it using Vob Blanker. Vob Blanker requires me to access the video_ts folder, so sometimes I will be forced to rip the .ISO file first. I take it from your last post then that it doesn't matter if I rip the .ISO file using DVDDecrypter or Winrar? Thanks.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Correct. Right click and 'extract' seems easier though Or mount in a virtual and copy+paste using Explorer... it's all the same thing.
