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?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should have a look at the Guide (http://www.ripit4me.org/guide.html). It will pretty much answer all your questions.

2) If you want to make an ISO out of all those VOBs/IFOs/BUPs then download ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) (site may still be down so use FileForum (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/ImgBurn/1128426215/1)).
