ISO Buster

Hi there,
I have a problem with an unfinalised DVD Camcorder disk that won't play back on anything basically as it was interupted in the middle of finalization.

Someone on here kindly recommended ISO Buster to retrieve the information back. Well I have successful got my recordings of and put them on a dvd however I have a few problems.

1. Don't think I have done it right (didn't understand the instructions - need an idiots kind) as I have the picutre but no sound. (the sound is there as I have heard it before I copied it onto the dvd. Now Nero did come up saying that I didn't have a tuner or something - so I downloaded that and then recorded it thinking that it was then pick up the relevant files, maybe I needed to do something to tell it that it now had something to get the sound from.

2.the other thing is that I was hoping to be able to edit it on my dvd player/recorder so that I can get rid of the rubbish but it won't let me as Nero has put it into it's own title.

I would appreciate some help with this if there is anyone that can give me idiot instructions as I am getting very weary of spending over 4 nights trying to figure it out and not going to bed til 3am and having a 1 year waking my up at 6 is not good *whimper whimper*

Thanks guys

Can you play the vob files with sound in media player classic or vlc?

If so, you should just be able to drag them in nero from your hard disk to your video_ts folder, along with the ifo and bup files.

Hi and thank you for replying. Yes I can play the VOB file in the software that you linked. I understand what you mean about dragging and dropping the other two extensions into a TS file. But first of all I haven't got a folder called tha nor a BUP or IF file.

Where else do I need to look?

Do you have the original files on your hard drive? In which format? If you don't know, you can download and install this to your computer; http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

The files are ones that I managed to extract this is how they are set out on my PC.

Folder which sits in "my videos" is called "New Folder" and inside this is the following:
VR_MANGR.BUP
VR_MANGR_IFO
VR_MOVIE.VRO
VTS_01_1.VOB

Is this of any help?

albertross_2

were all those files in the video_ts folder when you created the dvd? Is it a dvd-ram recorder?

oh blimery albertross, now your asking. (I'm only a simple girl).

I haven't created anything . I just used that ISO buster and it asked me where where I wanted to save the extracted files to so I put them in a new folder I created.

Tell you want if its of any help. When I did eventualy burn them through Nero it transferred them into folder and renamed each title as a .mpg files. If I copied the BUP etc files into this would that work?

Ijn reply to your question about the machine the dvd was not created with my dvd player but with a camcorder.

Just done a search on my C for VIDEO_TS files and it has brought up a folder and in it are all of the other files.

so is this what we are looking for - what do I do with it.

Sorry to be so thick but this is all so new to me. I do appreciate your time.

If you follow the guide in the second link of my first post.. it might work (go into Nero, select DVD video, give it a title in the label tab, select new, then within nero drag the ifo, vob, and bup files from your hard disk into the dvds video_ts folder, then hit the burn icon..) the guide explains it better ..

not sure what to do about the vro file though (how big is it?)... maybe forget about that for now if you have a spare DVD to try it with. Does the vob file have everything you recorded with sound?

Hi Albertross. I'm just having a go now and trying to find Nero 6 and I have Nero 7 and it says you have to use 6. So I will give it a wirl. Yes this does have sound.

I'm going to give myself 20 minutes and see what happens.

So you so much. You and donnie have been fantastic.

You should be able to do it in 7..

What are the file sizes of the vob and vro files?

Did you get any software with the camera for converting vro files to vob?
