what does that mean ...unable to open null for input?? also just in case i dont figure it out...how do i just rip all the .vobs with vstrip without selecting a pgc? I tried using the cmd line "vstrip streamlist -ii:\video_ts\vts_01_0.ifo -p8 $1024 -ovideo.vob" but it said unable to open null.. In the guide it says if your streamlist ends in .lst...what does that mean??What is the streamlist if it doesnt end in .lst and how would someone know??? also when you just tyep -ovideo.vob where will the .vob be placed? Being it isnt working for me right now i cant really find out. Could i type -oe:\vobs\bby\movie.vob and it would save it there right? Anyways im not sure how to rip all the .vob files off the dvd using the .cmd line. Ive thought about it and i guess one could set start lba at pgc 0 and end at pgc X but would'nt that rip all angle's into there own .vob's. Like have 3 3gig .vob's for the regular version and 3 3gig .vob's for the widescreen version? I thought maybe one could just select all the streams but wouldnt that be the same thing? Again...its not working for me at all right now(keeps saying unable to open the damn null what ever that is). I think the gui is great but i have had severl hours of unsuccessful attmepts with it and if i could run it the .cmd way atleast all options would be available and it would be alot faster out of a .bat file.
Anyways im off to flirt with it somemore. Thanks for reading it all...if you did ;-)

null means it could not find what you were telling it to find.
does "streamlist" exist or is it called "streamlist.lst"?

Its streamlist.lst...if i use streamlist it says unable to find streamlist.

i still have not figured out how to rip all the .vob's yet with vStrip...is this possible???
