Hypothetically how would someone play back the movie once its on teh drive since most programs dont seem to recgnize the TS files.
Sorry for the basic questions but I am not a computer guy more of an alarm guy.
Using DVD decrypter:
Start the app and after it's loaded check the following options:
1. Tools --> Settings --> IFO Mode Tab-- Check "Enable Streram Processing" Select "None" from the file spliting dropdown.
1a. Tools -->Settings --> File Mode Tab -- Select "Main Movie" from the "On Startup, Select Files" Dropdown box.
1b. Click OK to save and exit options.
2. Click Mode --> IFO
3. Insert the DVD and wait for the app to load it. The main movie will be highlighted in the right window.
4. Click the "Stream Processing" tab and select any video and audio stream you want. Typically the video stream and one audio stream is what most would select.
5. On the left/center click the small file-folder to choose a place to make the copy.
6. Click the green "play" button to begin the copy.
What you'll have when it's finished is one large *.vob file that represents the entire movie. Rename it to something meaningful leaving the vob extension, then play it with your choice of videoplayer. Any commercial DVD software should play the VOB file. I use WinDVD.
This is all hypothetical, of course...
