Which files to delete after burning?

[spark79]

Hi,

I'm new to all this so apologies if this is a daft question. I managed to rip and burn a DVD yesterday by using DVD Decrypter and then DVD Shrink. The files from the DVD were saved on my hard drive in LOG_PAL, VIDEO_TS. The process worked so I guess now I need to delete the files but I'm not confident of doing the right thing. Do I delete the LOG_PAL file completely (i.e open my C drive and right click on LOG_PAL and just press delete), just VIDEO_TS or just all the files contained in the folder?

I'm hopeless with these things and am always scared I'll delete the wrong thing. I was just confused as I was going to burn another DVD and didn't know if DVD Decrypter would save the files in the the same folder as the last one and thus confuse things when I come to burn.

I hope this makes sense, I probably haven't described it very well :confused:

Anyway Thanks in advance.

Deb

well, dvddecrypter can be set (maybe its even the default set) to save each new dvd on a auto-generated directory, different at each rip.
if your parent directory only contains the video ts folder, you can safely delete everything. the only risk would be that you had already ripped another dvd on the same folder below, but as long as you own the dvd this is not a hard thing.
remmeber to empy your "trashcan" (whatever name in english) from time to time...
