okay got passed the error message, now I've got loads of different files

[redbox]

rite I managed to get it to rip a couple of DVD's but now I've got these files types:

IFO
BIN
Encoded Audio movie files MPEG
Encoded Video CCE pal MPV
Pulldown encoded video ntsc
encoded video cce ntsc mpv
vob files

Must have done some thing right I can use nero to burn back the .Bin files and the films play okay :)

The vob files I can watch in media player, but they seem to be the same as some of the other files just in a different format.

There's more to this than I thought LOL

Right got it sussed, I'm sure it would have been a lot quicker if someone would have helped though, I know what the files do and what I can get rid of and what I have to keep for burning back to disk.

Thanks anyway for lookin in guys
