help: Movies only burning VIDEO_TS file

[uncleflip]

I just downloaded DVDFab to evaluate. When I tried to burn a DVD to my hard drive, it spent 30 minutes doing the copy job- but upon completion, the main DVD folder contained just one folder, VIDEO_TS. Inside that folder was just one file, also named VIDEO_TS (an IFO file).

I am copying full disc, and have tried DVD5 and DVD9 on a region 1 disc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For the sake of this discussion, I am going to assume that you didn't change the default folder that Fab sets for freshly ripped files. (the Temp file)

Fab has another default option, changeable manually, that automatically deletes the contents of the temp folder after you click on 'Finish' after a rip.

If this is in fact the way you handled the rip, you would be better advised to change the target location to something other than the Temp folder that Fab uses, and your files will still be there after you close the program to go take a look... (or you can go in through Common Settings, and un-tick that delete files option... same end result - the files will still be there).

No- I haven't touched any of these settings. I think the only thing I changed was from DVD5 to DVD9 to see if that fixed the problem.

Trying again with suggested changes. 25% in......so far, no change in the target folder. There are new sub-folders in the temp folder, and they are empty. It has worked on VTS_01_1.VOB for quite some time, and now it doesn't seem to exist anywhere except on the original DVD. There have been no error messages. (But then, I got none on the original attempts.)

Process complete. No change. Still I just get that single IFO file. The temp files remain empty. Going to bed. Will wrestle with this program again tomorrow.

Help Us Help You


If you are posting about an operational problem with one of the DVDFab products, you will improve the speed and accuracy of the response by providing some information in the very first post that will probably be needed.

First, make note of any error codes or messages that appear in popup boxes and put them in your post. Information on error codes that appear in the DVDFab UI are captured in one of the logs we request below.

DVDFab keeps logs of its activities that supply basic system information and can help pinpoint where and when an error happened and help pinpoint the cause. The default location for these logs on most Windows systems is:

C:\Documents and Settings\your username\My Documents\DVDFab\Log

The logs are simple text files that can be opened with Windows Notepad if you want to read them. If the size exceeds the forum’s attachment size limit, you may need to delete older entries or copy and paste the relevant ones into a new file. The log files can be attached to a post using the "Manage Attachments" button below the editing box.

dvdfab_burn_vso.log Attach for all problems. The entries are time stamped with the most recent at the top.

dvdfab_burn_imgburn.log Attach if you have ImgBurn set as the burning engine and the problem concerns disc burning. Time stamped with the most recent at the bottom.

dvdfab_process.log Attach if DVDFab crashes and the crash report window does not come up or complete correctly or if internal error codes appear in the DVDFab window (“Task Failed…”). Time stamped, most recent at the bottom.

dvdfab_internal.log Attach for all problems. Time stamped, most recent at the bottom. Please edit to include only the most recent or relevant log session.

Other Information:

Depending on the nature of the problem, it can help to know:
If this happens with all discs or just one
Your operating system/CPU/memory configuration
If you are using external hard drives or optical drives
If you have made any recent changes to your OS or system hardware
If you have other DVD or BD software installed, particularly if recently added.

Posts with all the requested information will be answered first.

It seems I've accidentally stumbled across the solution. I was burning to an extrnal drive with the letter G. Instead of creating:

G:\MOVIE_TITLE

as specified in the options I'd set, it was creating it in:

G:\FullDisc\MOVIE_TITLE

Now, I just need to find the setting to have it actually create the files in the directory where I'm trying to send them.

To do that, Click on Common Settings (white check mark in a green disc, Fab main screen), click on General, go to output directory, and set it to any destination you like.

It was actually easier than that (and there, it was already set to the destination I wanted, but was not getting). Down below, there's a check box for using subfoders. I simply had to uncheck that.
