Hello. I have been having problems playing ripped ISO or IFO from the VIDEO_TS folder with a MG-350HD in that some but not all ripps will ramdomly cause the player to lock up (tv screen looks like the movie is paused) and the machine has to be rebooted to get going again. I know this box is early in it's developement and I accept the little problems that arise with it but I noticed while troubleshooting my problem, I re ripped the movies that were causing me problems with DVDFab and through CloneDVD as well as directly copy and pasting the VIDEO_TS folder to the hard drive and I noticed all 3 methods resulted in different file sizes. I am using NO cmpression what so ever on the rips and was curious as to why each method results in different file sizes. The rip from AnyDVD alone resulted in the file size being equal to the file size on the DVD when I hit properties and when I used CloneDVD it resulted in a file size that was 7.29 gigs instead of 7.60 and I found one file that was wrong while comparing the original to the rips and playing just that one file showed me there was a problem with it.

I'm just trying to troubleshoot here and was wondering why each method resulted in different final file sizes. According to AnyDVD, the disc I ripped had no structural copy protection and structure appeared to be correct. I am copying the entire disc, menus and all as a 1 to 1 copy.

Any ideas? Is it something to worry about?

Thanks
Chris
