I'm trying to change a PAL movie into NTSC and have found some information in one of Chickenboys turorials. I followed the below steps :
*****************************************************
Step 4: Backing up DVD-9 Double Layer or Type 3 DVD's that require re-encoding.
1. Run your DVD player (WinDVD or PowerDVD) to play the movie (in full screen mode) for a short time and see if it is Full Screen (no black bars top and bottom of picture or widescreen (with black bars top & bottom of pic). This also Unlocks the drive. Then exit the player.
2. Run DVDDecrypter and hit I key. This selects IFO mode. You can also use SmartRipper if you prefer, its similar but option/settings are in different places, I'm sure you can work that one out.
3. Select for Source the DVDROM unit that holds the DVD. It will automatically detect the Movie files and suggest a Destination folder name and HD where the ripped files will go. Change if necessary.
4. In Tools / Settings / IFO Mode, set the File Splitting to 1 GB and tick "Chapter Information - DVDMaestro". Make sure under Options, all boxes are ticked. Leave all others at default, then click OK.
5. Now click the large DVD > HD button and ripping begins. Soon, you will end up on your HD a *.IFO file, a *.CHP file and a heap of *.VOB files. The size of the VOB files may be slightly different from those on the DVD, don't worry !
**********************************************************
My question is how come after completing these steps I end up with only a VIDEO_TS folder that contains 6 Nero Show time files and 1 .chp file?
Based on what it says in step 5, something must be wrong. Can someone help me pinpoint the problem?
thanks,
furbreath
