Difference between the "File" mode and the "ISO" mode

[guada 2]

Hello, :)

I would like to know if there is some difference between these two modes?

The "FILE" mode allows to extract quickly files VOBS.Whereas these raw data (VOBS) are locked into an image (ISO mode).

What is the interest to provide an ISO mode for this program?

Thank you in advance.

NOTE: I am sorry for the translation, my english is bad..

File mode allows you to copy the files off the DVD. ISO Mode allows you to create an ISO image file off your DVD.

ISO images are useful for 1:1 copies. You just rip the DVD to ISO, and then burn the ISO back to DVD.

Thank you Geek,
But it is not new for me.

My question is:
Which is the interest for DVDDecrypter to provide this option whereas, there are other software able to create images of a DVD.

[The Geek]

I don't really understand your question.
Are you asking why DVD Decrypter offers the feature to rip a DVD to an ISO image, despite there are already programs that do that ?

Why should such an excellent ripper like DVD Decrypter lack of that feature ?

It's competition, dude. And I don't think the other rippers are as excellent as DVD Decrypter. Which programs are you referring to, that create ISO images of DVDs ?

Just because there is other software doesn't mean that DVD Decrypter should lack of that feature.
After all, you could ask why DVD Decrypter exists in the first place, there are other programs to rip. Why does Windows Messenger exist, there are already other IM programs. . why does OpenOffice exist, there is already M$ Office. . . . etc etc ;)

Actually, no other program can do it - that I know of.

Remember DVDs are protected, you cant just use a normal cd/dvd imaging tool on them! lol

Hello LIGHTNING UK!, :)

Alcohol 120 % is it not able of making an image of the disc in a virtual way?

However, i know a software capable of making this operation, but I "would avoid quoting the name"...

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Not that I know of, no. It wont work with protected discs.

Like you said, other 3rd party driver level rippers could make it work, but then thats 2 programs instead of just 1 - DVD Decrypter.

" Not that I know of, no. It wont work with protected discs ".
Thank you, for this information.

A method exists to ignore the protection. But it is another business. :)

" Like you said, other 3rd party driver level rippers could make it work, but then thats 2 programs instead of just 1 - DVD Decrypter ".

I know....
Reassure you, DVD Decrypter is my "ripper" without consession.

Goodbye ;)

From what i understand. An ISO image is more likely to succeed in ripping and burning. It exists because many stand-alone players "see" it better when you do the entire process of ripping and burning in ISO mode. What i do is reauthor and shrink (DVD Shrink in ISO mode) to my hard drive. Then i burn the image with DVD decrypter. This way i can just get the movie too which drastically improves the quality and the % of stand-alones that are able to run it.

Hi,

So if I have an ISO ripped by DVD Decrypter and I want to burn it over 2 discs to get a non compressed copy what program would I use to burn it with and how.

Thanks

[LIGHTNING UK!]

You find a program that can split between 2 discs.

(But then, you wouldn't rip in ISO mode, you'd rip in File mode)

Anyway, sorry, I don't know which ones exactly, it's not something I've ever done.

Hi, thanks Lightning UK. You've never put a DVD9 to 2 DVD5's before, or do you just use compression to fit it to a DVD5?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

I dont do either!

I buy them and dont have a need for backups as I have no kids to kill them for me!

But if I ever needed to, I'd compress them - stripping out anything but the main movie.

Hi Lightning, Okay that makes sense, Thanks

Golf,
There is a very good program for that called DVD Fab (search it on the web and you'll find it) It is free for 30 days, and there's no obligation to buy it, unless you want to. It's very user friendly, and excellent for burning an 8 to two 4's.

Hi Bongo,

Thanks, I have DVDD and shrink working preety good at the moment, but I'll look into DVD Fab.

I knew you could do it. See you around.:)
