Please help Maybe you have a problem TitleSet or VIDEO_TS. Anyways, try opening each IFO separately in v3.0 and see which one is giving you problems. You'll get a hint on which files to rip again.

There is only the one TitleSet, if I open the VTS_05_0.IFO it is fine but when I transcode it, it dosen't have a Video_TS.ifo in the final output folder so I can't use CopytoDVD to burn. Should I just copy over the three original Video_Ts files into the new folder then burn?

I suggest you rip the entire image, then use daemon tools to mount it, then let DVDshrink open that dvd image.

@Holomatrix

I hope I understand where you're coming from. You opened up VTS_05_0.IFO and then pressed "backup" because you want to do a movie only. Well, it doesn't work that way because then, of course, you will have no VIDEO_TS.* files present. What you need to do is re-author your Title in your VTS_05 and then will you have all your necessary files to process through CopytoDVD,including your VIDEO_TS.* files.;)

Ok, so the original video_ts is designed to control/read the whole DVD contents, so by me only ripping the movie part, the original video_ts is no longer valid/needed. So, I need to re-author the movie part to re-create a movie only video_ts file. That makes sence :) I just found it weird that 2.3 reads the ripped original video_ts then lets me select what title I want which then I would only select the only one available, the one I ripped.
Thanks

I believe that the analyzing phase of 2.3 and 3.0 beta ? is different. 3.0 seems a lot stricter. If you do want to select whatever Title you want in 3.0, you must pass the analyzing phase when you open your VIDEO_TS.IFO. I'm curious to know what files gave you a no-file error when you opened each individual IFO in v3.0.

[Holomatrix]

It was only the video_ts that gave me the error. I guess I need to rip the whole contents of the DVD to my HD because I just tried to re-author and ended up with only VTS_05_0.IFO files again.
(only took 5mins this time) What I did was click re-author, open files, then backup. Am I doing somthing wrong?

Drag your Title from first DVD Shrink window into the left side of the other window. Re-author from there. There is a guide on how to do this somewhere around here with 3.0.

Here's your 3.0 guide (http://www.dvdshrink.info/guides.php). We'll make you a master of re-authoring in no time!;)

[Holomatrix]

Bingo! :) I wasn't draging my title from the one window to the other. It's backing up now. Should be ok, I'll tell you in an hour.

Weird, it only took 8 minutes. Probably because the VOB's are only 3.6GIG, so it didn't need to transcode after the analysis, correct?

EDIT: Great guide, I've got it going now. Thanks alot :)

"so it didn't need to transcode after the analysis, correct?"

Correct. :)
