FINIALLY I CAN POST. that five day waiting period KILLED ME.

Programs Using:
DVD Decrytor, DVD 2 one, and Ulead Burn.Now...

I got my DVD on the hard drive and shrunk it to a folder or *.ISO file*(look below for more)

When I burn it without being in a folder it doesnt automatically goto my movie watching program..
When I burn it with a folder it does...

BUT niether work in my PS2 or DVD player for my T.V.
any help?


.ISO what is this file and why does my shrinkers make one? I looked in all the guides but i stupid, couldnt find my way around and i cant read...
Would burning this file onto a DVD R work in my PS2 or DVD player?(basically solving my problem above?)

1. The period of 5 days waiting has been discussed alot in the past. Pls search for "waiting period" and u ll find alot to read along with the arguments that support it.

2. In the basics page (http://www.doom9.org/dvd-basics.htm) in the site, u can read about the structure of a dvd and understand the neccessity of VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. Simply put, your dvd players, either software or hardware, cann't cope with dvd content when they r located outside of these folders.

3. ISO is a disk image, a file that contains all neccesary files in the right place (inside the correct folders). It is a ready to burn, properly formated dvd structure.

So will burning just the ISo image in a Video_TS folder solve my problem of not being played in a regualer DVD player or PS2?

I made a VIDEO_TS folder on one disk and it worked, but only in my computer. I'm trying for a wide variety of uses.


I just noticed today that my DVD Shrink says "not encrypted"
Does that make a difference? I'm dumb.

[oddyseus]

Assuming that the iso is correct, and it will be if shrink has prepared it, u only need to open dvddecrypter, go to ISO Write, select the iso image nad hit the burn button.

Your dvd will be playable everywhere.

Commercial dvds r the only ones that can be encrypted. All the others that home users r making can't. Encryption is something that roght now only the dvd production plants r able to insert in a dvd disk.

There r various flavors of PS2, with the first ones actually not supporting dvd-r at all. What is your serial number of it?
