I would like to take a single or double layered DVD and convert it to
a single layered DVD. The programs I have used on an Xp system were
Ripit4Me, DVD Decrypter, VOBFix, DVD Shrink and finally a burning
program. It turns out that Ripit4Me and DVD Decrypter will not work
under Vista. For Ripit4me Vista says there is no DVD in the drive
and/or the drive is locked.
If one starts with DVD Decrypter the process fails when the job is
done and you try to close the program. DVD Shrink work fine as it did
in the Xp world.
Though there are programs out there that seem to work fine the end
product without additional processing is either a VCD or SVCD not a
standard DVD with all of its files in the Video_TS folder with the
Audio_TS folder empty.
Today, I tried something new but again it seems Vista created
problems. My new process was to create the DVD folders on the Vista
box and run Ripit4Me from the Xp box writing the extracted files to
the DVD folder on the Vista box. This failed. At the beginning of
the extraction a message appeared on the screen saying that there was
insufficient space on the drive on the Vista box. As it turns out
there was 200+ GB free space. I let the process begin. After the
extraction started the Vista box rebooted itself.
I do not understand why I got the message not enough space and why the
rebooted.
Any ideas?
Thanks
