Re: [Thinkpad] PowerDVD, NTFS, and me

Oh, OK, now I understand.
A standard commercial DVD ALWAYS has a file structure where the .VOB movie
files are exactly one gig, with the LAST .VOB being somewhat smaller.
This is what a desktop player is looking for to play the DVD.
SmartRipper can be set in the settings to rip one gig .VOB files. I don't
know why you are ripping one big file, what is the advantage of that? I
don't know that you could process that into a DVD that you could burn and
play on your home player. Just set the SmaprtRipper to rip one gig .VOBs
