Thread: DVD files

is there a better file type to keep them

LoanRanger,

just burn them to your hdd rather than saving them as the dvd shrink files should reduce the amount of files you save, as well try saving as one file by changing the ripping size . also just backup the english files only.

Your DVD drive should have come with DVD player software (My pioneer burner came with Power DVD 5). Some versions of Nero have DVD playing capability, and there are heaps of freeware versions on the web.

I have power dvd but it will only play the one chapter i click not the whole movie, if i keep them as an image file i cant play them or i will have to mount them every time i want to play one of them. I already remove all the uneeded files and keep just the menu and the movie.

Keep those so called uneeded files - and keep the file structure. That's why power dvd plays only 1 chapter.

If you open the "ifo" file it will play all the "vobs"
