Well, this one really has me stumped.
I recently bought a Criterion boxed edition "Battle of Algiers," and as I usually do with prized DVDs, I attempted to make a backup.
First, I did a straight rip to HD with PowerISO, which gave me an ISO which I parked in a Battle.of.Algiers folder. Mounted an H drive and viewed the ISO, jumping back and forth to verify all was well. OK, looks and sounds good.
Then I opened the ISO with DVDshrink with presets on Auto=4,414MB@63.7%. DVDshrink shows Menus, Main Movie, etc, with VTS 1, 2, all alternate sound tracks & subs, perfectly normal, so DVDshrink sees the containers made by PowerISO. Problem is, the DVDshrink preview screen shows a corrupt image, big (90%) green blocks of artifact, but at about a third of the way through the file, it shows clear images & sound.
Remember, PowerISO plays the H-mounted movie perfectly. Also VLC plays the ISO from the HD folder perfectly fine. GSpot reports the file as not renderable. I might add that VLC will not play the ISO from the H-mounted ISO, which seems reasonable - maybe.
So my question is, Why is DVDshrink showing a corrupt file?
And, yes, we can just Shrink the movie (4 Hrs 36 min - actually, I did that first as per my usual routine , but I wanted to see what a PowerISO/DVDshrink combo would do, and what we got was an unreadable file, at least by DVDshrink and GSpot.
Any thoughts?
