Dec 22 11 8:25 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi all, my Hammer Horror Series DVD's are partially skipping - on the Philips DVD Player only. They play fine on the iMac via VLC. So, I thought I'd make copies. Problem is: The copy per DVD side (2 movies) has a file size of 8.4 GB, named: ISO disk image. I cannot burn that onto the DVD-R. I guess because of the file size. I cannot split it into 2 as the file shows two folders: "Audio_TS" and "Video_TS". If I open the video folder I get lots of different files (that make no sense to me!). The Audio folder is empty. When I try and convert the ISO disk image file using Media converter, the media converter crashes at 82%. I use "Burn", "Media Converter", VLC, all on MAC OS 10.6.8. Any pointers???

You can use Toast (and other programs I'm sure, Toast is what I use) to compress them as well, but the only way to really keep the full quality is to put them on DL discs. Most newer Macs can burn DL's but if your internal burner can't do this, you can get an external for under 100 dollars that will do it well - I have a Sony for this on my older Mac. SAM33

This allows you to break up a disc into sections and burn them at the highest possible quality. Once the content is loaded onto my hard drive I can burn to disc. I, too, get the two Audio and Video designations but I just click and drag them into the burn menu box and go from there.

Then you run IFOedit and FIXVTS against that - it creates a folder with VIDEO_TS. You just add an empty folder called AUDIO_TS and now you have folder you can BURN from. Works for me every time. I don't have a dual-layer burner either. So I just burn singles. No big deal but when the disks start skipping this is the work flow that I use to get around it. "I saw what I saw when I saw it!"

Wonder if they're still okay? (I should explain that my copies were one film to a DVD, though I did take the opportunity to move the Universal documentaries and extras back to where they belonged. My hybrid discs lack menus, but play the films just fine. I just keep the originals around for insurance.) Last Edited By: DonM435 Dec 27 11 6:36 PM. Edited 1 times.

Dec 28 11 3:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi Abronsius - I'm a fellow Apple user, and have successfully backed up the HAMMER HORROR series on my iMac. I did it onto eight single-layer DVD-Rs (one film per disc, obviously.) To rip the discs I used MacThe Ripper 2.66 (which is available FREE from here.) I then isolated the individual films using Roxio Toast. Do you have this programme installed? If so, I'll explain how to proceed. (It's very simple, even for a beginner....)

This is EASY PEASY. You can select which title you want and backup just that one to a DVD folder - then burn from there. It doesn't get any easier. Thanks for the link. Anyone have any luck doing this same or similar workflow with a a BluRay disc? "I saw what I saw when I saw it!"

Thank you Squire Hamilton for your patient and very thorough "walking me through" the different steps of doing this. On my own I would not have succeeded, I'm sure. Three cheers for the CHFB!!!! (and Squire Hamilton!!)
