I guess i posted this in the wrong forum the other day because the questions are simple i'm sure but no one answered me. So i'm posting here in hopes someone will help. Heres the original post.......
Ok, i'm new to all of this so i have questions that will probably sound stupid, but there goes. I have ripped and burned a few DVDs with DVDdecrypter and DVDshrink. I've also tried RipItForMe so that i'll have a way around newer protection. But there are issues i've had and things i cannot understand. Remember that i'm confused at this point so i can't recall exactly what i did in some cases.
1)-using ripitforme i ended up with VOB files instead of an ISO. why is that? I usually choose read ISO in DVDE, but i didn't seem to have that option when using RIFM. Maybe i just missed it, but i coulda sworn it just did it's thing w/o giving me the chance in DVDE.
2)-is there a way to create a ISO from VOB files so that if this happens again i don't have to completely start over? (i won't be doing this often, so chances are i may forget something and end up with VOB files again the next time i try it)
3)-how can i make a DVD with nothing but the main movie? I see i can uncheck various languages, but i don't see an option to shrink the ISO as movie only.
4)-last time i ripped and burned a DVD, DVDS di not create a ISO of the correct size to fit on a single disc. It was set on automatic so i don't understand why that happened. I had to figure out the percentage to make it the correct size and re-shrink it. What did i do wrong to shrink the ISO and end up with a ISO bigger than the 4.6GB or whatever size that is that a DVD holds?
If i got no answers because you all think i posted w/o searching first, i did, plus i went thru the app menus add nausium. I just couldn't find the answers, at least not in a simple enough form to understand. I have zero experience with this stuff. Thanks in advance.
