First off hi and thanx to ne1 who can help out with this one

My original copy of Bullet Proof Monk is absolutely scratched to death (Kids)so i tried to decrypt it but its so bad no go there i cab manage to rip out the Main movie files but thats all, I end up with Video ts and the 3 main movie files is there any way i can get this onto dvdr to play in my stand alone, i tried DVD shrink and all i get is cannot find specified file, which i presume is still on the damaged original. i can play the main movie files from my hard drive 3 of them buts that all i can do ne1 got ne clues ?

 

Hiya Doofy,

I find with kids, the best solution is SuperGlue(tm)..

Superglue one hand over the mouth, the other hand onto one knee and the posterior of the child onto a hard chair - works a treat!!

Now, onto your question:
did you manage to successfully rip [bold]ALL[/bold] the main VOBs?

If you did, you can recreate the structure files and hence the film quite easily.

I use IFOEdit for that.
I use DVD2One for compression.
Then burn to DVD-R, Voila! A backup.

Have Fun...

Hiya Guys,

Hope you took it as humour, the only thing I know about kids is: they are just as difficult to barbeque as cats ;-)

Doofy,
YES, you can rebuild the film IF you have ALL the main VOBs.

You will need:
IFOEdit

Step-by-step instructions:
1 - make a directory called dir_1
2 - copy the VOBs you have ripped into dir_1
3 - delete any FILE that STARTS WITH VIDEO_TS
4 - delete any file that ENDS WITH .BUP or .IFO
5 - delete any file that ENDS WITH _0.VOB
6 - now you SHOULD have JUST the film VOBs
7 - IF NEEDED, rename them (individually) so they fit the form VTS_01_x.VOB, for example:
if you have a VOB named VTS_03_1.VOB,
rename it to read VTS_01_1.VOB,
repeat for the _2.VOB etc. etc.
8 - Run IFOEdit
9 - click Create IFOs
10 - select Create 1 PGC only, select Create Chapter for each Cell
11 - browse to dir_1, select VTS_01_1.VOB
12 - make sure Destination directory for IFO files same as source is TICKED, click OK
13 - wait while it processes
14 - in the top pane you will see TWO entries, highlight the BOTTOM one
15 - click Get VTS sectors
16 - click Quit

You have now created a valid DVD structure in dir_1
Rename dir_1 to read VIDEO_TS (uppercase)

Burn the VIDEO_TS using your burner program (if you need help doing that, give us a shout).

It looks complicated (IFOEdit IS intimidating but VERY POWERFUL).

Have Fun...

 

Thank You Thank You and once again Thank you
