burning a playable dvd?

[mr.jip]

The problem is that once i have ripped a dvd into an iso file onto my computer, and then burn the iso file onto dvd, it does not play on a normal dvd player.
Basically what i want to know is, once the file is ripped from a dvd into an iso file. How then to i burn the file so it plays on a stand alone dvd player.

ps, im very new to dvd burning, please help, and yes i have searched google, and im not to sure what i am exactly looking for..

the way your going about it is wrong.

the ISO format is no good for copying dvd.

reason being is that ISO has no way of bypassing dvd css encryption.

look here http://www.dvdrhelp.com/

just about 100% of the site is relative information for exactly what you want to do.

Ive used dvd decrypter to rip the DVD ( thats a master copy of a VHS) and it as given me two files
PHILIPS_DVD_VR.ISO
PHILIPS_DVD_VR.MDS

do i just burn these two files onto a dvd, and then it will play on a normal dvd player??

mds?? media discryptor files are much more accurate than a ISO but im not sure if you can just burn it and have it work.

also have you determined that your dvd player indeed can play back-up copies?

[mr.jip]

well, i am at stage one of the guide on the link you gave me, and im using dvd decrypter to rip (in all file mode). I am using this guide btw

I dont know if the dvd player can or cannot play back-up files.

Here you go...
First open up the dvd with powerdvd or similar dvd playing program to unlock the dvd.

Second, use smartripper to rip all the contents.

Third, use clonedvd to burn the dvd.

Easy as that.

OR you can procure a copy of DVD X Copy or DVD X Copy Xpress. Load it up, click start, done.

yea cloneDVD is pretty good and makes 1:1 copies of the original just like new :)

it's not exact copies but it's ok. Like CompuGeek said in another thread, "1:1 copies often aren't possible because commerical DVD movies can hold about 9 gigs, but recordable DVDs can only hold about 5 gigs."

Don't they sell dvd9's now?

what i ended up doing is , i used dvd decrypter and ripped the files of the dvd master in "all file mode" and then burned them onto dvd, and it played. Is this method recommeneded?
Ps, thanks alot for the help

DVD X Copy is the fastest & easiet way to copy it.

There is a tradeoff between fast/easy & quality, but it is a small and probably imperceptible tradeoff with DVD copying.

Anyone who wants to be compulsively anal can compare and copy the same movie using several different software apps, take screenshots of the same frame in each copy, and then compare them.

But all and all you probably won't notice any minor differences in quality since TVs create such a fuzzy, low-resolution picture anyway.

really, there is no difference between them. Hell you can even create excellent avis with the correct settings nowdays. Not with dvd x copy tho.

[CHELSEY12]

the only reson u would want avi's is if u dont have a dvd burner this is why x copy dont do it it only backs up dvd's that said if u want to rip dvd's to avi files ive found dr divx to be a great piece of software! ive got loads of avi's great quality they just dont play in most!! dvds at the moment

I can't believe no one else cares about differences in quality that are invisible to the human eye. :finger
