dvd shrink problem vts_01_4.vob

[Furbreath]

after decrypting a dvd with dvddecrypter and shrinking it, I'm trying to put it in .iso format, but shrink goes for over and hour, then I keep getting an error message. Not sure if it's the same message every time, but I think so.
It is :
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue
Failed to write file "VTS_01_4.VOB"
Access is denied

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
furbreath

Are you running Windows 98/ME or 2000/XP ? If Win98/ME, then your hit its inherent 4gb max file size. If Win2000/XP then are your HD's NTFS formatted ?

It is Windows ME. I remember reading something about that...fat32 etc, but I could not follow the instructions for some reason.
Could you dumb it down for me and tell me what to do?

thanks,

u cannot have a file more than 4gb on fat32...

what file might that be?

I also run WinsME (because my system is an old one), and have the same problem with DVDShrink to backup to ISO format. So I fix it this way: re-author and backup to a hard-disk folder, and then use Nero to burn as a Video-DVD!

To bad media such as Princo, I set DVDShrink preference ~4GB to avoid burning to the margin of DVD. If you use good media (Ritek), you don't have to do that.

any file. no single file can be larger than 4gb on a fat32 partition, which is a problem when creating dvd isos because a full-sized dvd is 4.38gb. unless you format and use an NTFS partition (with a corresponding OS, like windows xp or windows 2000) you won't be able to create an iso larger than 4gb. as a way around this, you can do as trungthu suggested and use another program to master the dvds from the .vob, etc, files, such as nero's DVD-Video layout.

You can still use Shrink, just dont make an ISO file, but select "Hard Disk Folder" instead. Then each file will be 1 gb max sixe, which is no probs for WinME. Then just burn out the VIDEO_TS folder with Nero (in DVD-Video mode), Record Now DX (Data Disk mode) or whatever.
