I am trying to copy my daughters Postman Pat DVD (she is just old enough to put it into the player herself, so it won't survive for long)
It is copy-protected, so I cannot make a normal copy, but I can rip it with dvdrip. That also has the advantage that I can choose the right language for the audio once and for all.
Now I try to use dvdstyler to write the .vob files out on a DVD again. But I get an error processing the files (attached below). Presumably, I need to transcode them, so I tried to use dvdrip for that. But if I transcode as .avi files (xvid encoding), dvdstyler will not recognize the files, and if I transcode to .mpg files, I can choose between a few encodings that seem to be for VCDs only: SVCD, VCD, XVCD, XSVCD and CVD. I tried SVCD, but my DVD player could not play the resulting DVD.
I am probably doing something stupid, but I know way too little about how dvds work to figure it out myself, so any help is appreciated!
Best regards
Jakob
