    I followed instructions and still managed to screw it up... I am
    trying to backup Pirates of the Carribean. I imported it to my
    harddrive with a program called dvdbackup, removed CSS and
    the Microvision thingy and set the region code to 0. I then
    used DVD2oneX to convert the 7.5 gig movie to a 4 gig
    movie and ripped the VIDEO_TS folder onto a blank dvd
    named the same as the original..... Problem, when I put it into
    my comp it reads it, mounts it, opens dvd player but wont
    run.... I kno DVD2oneX did a good job b/c I tested the
    VIDEO_TS file under DVD player and it will run fine (even if i
    select the file that is on the burnt disk), it just doesnt want to
    auto play the disk. It wont work in my dvd+r compatible dvd
    player on my tv either... Can some1 plz plz tell me what I did
    wrong?
    thnx -whit

    my specs:
    OSX
    G4 1.33 ghz
    DVD +R media not -R (its still supposed to work on my comp
    tho, i think?)

    Sorry couldn't help myself :) ... but don't you think that is tooooo small for a file?? Just a typo I'm sure. Also what program are you using to burn?

    what kind of burner do you have? I think it's your problem is your burning process. Most burners and dvd-roms will read all formats.
    _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Dell 8250, Pentium 4 2.80GHz
    1.5 GB RDRAM, 200GB HD

    applemac,

    I think it's Roxio. I used to have Roxio 6, and the one thing I noticed is it only worked in pc's that have roxio(at least for me). Do you have Nero? If not, I suggest downloading the trial version and try to burn your video_ts file. Or you could try DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter (both free). Try to backup Pirates of the Carribean, if it works you would know for sure it's Roxio.

    I'm not saying Roxio Toast is bad(never used it), but your process may be wrong :) Good luck, hope this helps.

    If you download nero be sure to get rid of roxio, if that's what you have, first. They are NOT compatible and cause havoc for a lot of people if left to coexist. I, like flip, recommend Nero of the two.

    It ended up being the method that I was using to burn. I found this great little free program called DVD Imager that creates a burnable dvd image! Its great b/c u can test the encoding before you burn it just by mounting the disk image... I still use Roxio Toast though, it worx fine.
