jimistgeil Posted December 27, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimistgeil Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2011 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
