Hi new to imgburn

[Rossy]

Hi i have read the guides for the (oh hi to everyone sorry brains buzzing here) Burn VOB files to Dual Layer

and i am guesing there are more than 1 VOB files?

 

I have Star wars Video file HiDef in iether MPG or VOB 1 single file about 6.5gig

am i right in saying this can not be writen with Layer breaks because its 1 file?

reason i am asking is because when i ever i burn a dvd DL and play it on the PS3 it plays for so long then currupts is this the break in the layers?

if so is there a way or do i have to convert the video fil in 2?

 

thanks for any help

Hi and welcome to the forum, Rossy!

 

VOB Splitter 0.2 can split VOB files. The issue might be that a stand alone player needs correct .ifo files also.

 

It sounds as you only have one large .vob file and not any .ifo/.bup files?

 

Normally the max size of a .vob is 1GB as that is the standard for stand alone players.

Hi thanks for the tip

unfortunatly it didnt work

 

My files wont burn properly on a Dual layer it keeps stopping on the PS3

even if i burn it as a Data disc as one big file it plays it perfect until it currupts

 

all i want to do is burn it as a big file but am not sure i can

[Cynthia]

Not sure I understand you. You get a burning error or a playback error?

 

If it's the first - can you post the failed burn log?

 

You'll find it here:

 

Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

Hi no everything burns fine its Just my PS3 that only plays half the film

[Cynthia]

Can you play the burned disc on your regular computer without issues?

[Rossy]

yeah it does the ps3 will too if a fast search the film i thinks its the point telling the Laser pick up were to stop and carry on to the layer 2 thats faulty

make some IFO files for the vob using IfoEdit or something and then 'shrink' it to fit on a single layer disc.

 

You'll lose some quality but at least it won't skip / corrupt.

[Rossy]

Hi cheers for the advice but its a Hidef file i have the originals on DVD but these are 720hidef so kinda want to keep the quality

 

cheers

Ah not a true vob file then, you've just used that tool to fudge an mkv into one

 

Can the ps3 play those files from a bdre too? It might be worth you investing in a bluray writer and using a 25gb disc where you then wouldn't run into 'layer' issues.

 

If you must stick to using DL discs, make sure they're Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL ones (MKM-001-00 dye, made in Singapore).

[Rossy]

you got it lol

all i want is to play the film from start to finish

Something my mate showed me earlier today that I though was pretty cool...

 

WD TV HD Media Player - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=572

 

Combine that with a little WD 2.5" hdd and you're laughing.

[Rossy]

Thats cool it supports

External Drive Formats Supported

FAT32, NTFS, HFS+ (no journaling)

 

and thats cool if only PS3 would support NTFS as FAT32 dont let you put files over 4gig on it

 

cheers for the link

 

means i have a load of Dual Layer dvds going free lol
