Best Way to burn a Dual Layer DVD From a Video_TS Folder thats NOT Roxio?

[BiikeMike]

I think Roxio and my computer don't really get along with my new external Dual Layer Burner. It keeps not finishing the burn.

I am running OS 10.4.7 on a MBP 2.16 with a gig of ram. I'm ripping my DVD's with MacTheRipper to back them up, and then trying to burn video from a Video_TS file. My drive is a USB2 HP DVD 840. The computer has no problem recognizing the drive, i've burned a CD with Toast Titanium 6.1.1, and lightscribe with Disclabel 3.3.1.

Any ideas on how to back up my DVD's if it won't work with Roxio?

Thanks

Use roxio toast to author the dvd, but instead of burning it from toast, go to file -> save as disk image (apple+d i believe). After that, use disk utility to burn the image from toast.

You can always purchase Dragon Burn. It has always worked well for me!

Never heard of it, Thanks for the suggestion!

It burns Video_TS?

I just did a quick search for Dragon burn, and the site I found says it is a PPC program. Does it run well under Rosetta? I don't wanna pay $50 for somthing that might not even work.....

And Roxio cost so much, it should work anyway!

So if I do that, do I rename the file to .iso instead of .toast? or will finder burn a .toast file?

Sorry for all the stooopid questions, i'm still kind of a Mac newB

Disk Utility will burn .toast as well as .iso files, so technically doesn't matter.
