newbie still discovering MDS files

[timmy toad]

hiya people, i recently found out about copying Dual Layer disc's using an MDS file etc.

But now a different query, still using a MDS file.

I had a DVD 4.7gig capacity with an unprotected movie on it, i used Nero to Make another copy of it, it ended up throwing up lots of errors , although it still played OK, I then created an ISO image of the same DVD with Nero and still i got errors it aborted.

I then used DVD Shrink to make an ISO image of the same DVD, i got an ISO image ok but i couldnt burn it to a blank disc, even using DVD Encrypter to burn this same image wouldnt work either, I know i should have saved the LOG, but i didnt dam.

Anyway i was now getting near the end of my tether, so i used DVD Encrypter to make an ISO image of the DVD, i think i also had trouble with the first attempt, then trying it again with DVD Decrypter i was eventually succesfull, BUT i then found i had an MDS file with the same name as the ISO IMAGE so selecting the MDS file i then succesfully Burnt an Image of the DVD ;)

But i am very confused now because of the presense of an MDS file making all the difference between success and failure, I thought you only got and/or needed an MDS file when you were Copying Dual Layer DVD's ????????

timmy toad--We can't help you on "copies of copies", look to the Forum Rules at the top of the page, and the Announcement on the Newbies homepage.

setarip_old--I don't understand why you continue to insert yourself into these threads. I warned you repeatedly before striking the last time you did this, and here you are again! Be forewarned, your rope, and my patience, is running out. Terminate this behaviour now, while you still maintain some level of control over your Doom9 destiny. There's a word for people that exhibit this sort of disruptive conduct......

Rule 6 strike issued (double)
