Re: Backing up DVD-Audio

Thanks nmpaulcp.

However, I think that there is some misunderstanding here...

The only DVD-Audio that I have, mentioned above, is Sheryl Crow - The Globe Sessions (barcode 02498 60829). It has the two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS:



As you can see, the huge one is the AUDIO_TS folder (3.35 GB), while the VIDEO_TS has "only" 820 MB of data.

Starting DVD Shrink and selecting the Backup DVD function, this is what I get:



As you can see, even if the "Create VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders" option (please note: it says create and not rip!) is ticked, the space required is 820 MB, which is exactly the size of the VIDEO_TS folder (and even unticking it, the space required does not change).

And indeed, the VIDEO_TS folder is the only one ripped: the AUDIO_TS folder is created, but it is empty.



Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I have to ask you: are you sure that you are talking about DVD-Audio discs?

Please note that there are several DVD-Video titles that DO HAVE an AUDIO_TS folder, but it is empty!

A true DVD-Audio, like the one above, is a different beast: it must have the DVD-Audio logo on the cover and on the support itself,



and it must have a huge bunch of files (mainly AOB files, Audio OBjects), which fill up the majority of the disc space.

Am I right saying that you backed up some DVD-Videos with empty AUDIO_TS folder, and not true DVD-Audio titles?

And if I am wrong, can you please tell me a couple of titles (with catalogue number) of DVD-A that you backed up successfully?

Best regards,

ET
