Hello all,
I am trying to make backup copies of DVD movies that I own. I used to be using Handbrake to decode the DVD's, but after their latest updates, I was forced to switch programs. I just started using Mac the Ripper and iSkysoft's Video Converter tonight, and am having issues already. I am using Mac the Ripper fine (I think), and have burned VIDEO_TS folders successfully.
The main problem lies with Toast 10 Titanium, that I have recently purchased. I'm not an expert at this kind of stuff, so I read the manual. I have gone to the "Video" tab, and selected "VIDEO_TS Folders" so that I can drag my VIDEO_TS folder of the movie i'm attempting to copy, but every time I drag that VIDEO_TS folder, the file does not drag over, and Toast takes me to the "DVD Copy" tab automatically. When I select the big red record button, it says that there is nothing to record.
The file that Mac the Ripper spits out into a VIDEO_TS folder is a .VOB file. When I add it into Toast, it is not able to read that file, hence why I purchased iSkysoft's Video Converter.
The first time I tried it, I used the iSkysoft Video Converter software and converted the .VOB file to a .MP4 file, then burned that .MP4 file with Toast. It completed within 10 minutes (unusually fast for a 4.82 GB DVD (compresed to 4.7 GB) ???), and nothing happened in my DVD player. Anytime I pressed play, it stopped a second after.
Anyone know what i'm doing wrong? Any help pointing me in the right direction would greatly be appreciated. Thanks much in advance.
