    Hello

    I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to.

    I downloaded a movie from the net. It was all in .rar form. I tried to unrar it, but the resulting image was greater than 4gb, so my hard drives wouldn't accept it (I have FAT32). What I managed to do was use Pinnacle InstantWrite to unrar the files to a DVD-R disc. So now I have the image of the movie on a disc.

    My question is: Is it possible to write the image file to my hard drive, resulting in the video_ts and audio_ts files being on my hard drive?

    I have Nero 6 and thought that if I could accomplish the above, that I could then make an image of the video_ts and audio_ts and save that to my hard drive, then burn that image to disc, resulting in the dvd. I've tried searching for the answer, but all I can find is info on how to write an image to disc.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Jeff

    I know that you can use nero recode to copy a dvd to the hard drive and it will keep it under 4.7 G but i am not sure if you can take a movie off the net and do it. You might try to do it useing Nero Recode

    Thanks for your suggestion. I figured out how to do it. I have DAEMON Tools Pro and put the dvd with the image file burned onto it into my dvd drive. I then mounted the disc to a virtual disc using DAEMON. I was going to try to burn from the virtual to the actual but Nero wouldn't recognize the file on the virtual disc. I then noticed a File Explorer option in DAEMON for the virtual disc. I opened that and saw the video_ts and audio_ts folders. I copied the video_ts folder to my hard drive (Only about half of the files copied because after about 15 minutes the virtual drive un-mounted itself. For the second copy attempt, I just selected the rest of the files and copied them). I then used Nero to burn the dvd files to a disc. I tried it in my dvd player and it works!!!
