This is a short point by point guide how to backup a DVD with IfoEdit v0.9
Copy a DVD-5 (< 4.38 GB) to DVD-R
| What to do: | Refering guides | |
| 1: | Rip your complete DVD (All files) to HD into a folder named 'VIDEO_TS' and make sure the folder name is uppercase. Use Smartripper or DVD Decrypter for that job. | Ripping guide |
| 2: | Open any IFO file with IfoEdit and press 'Get VTS Sectors' to make sure all start sectors are correct. When asked, click 'Yes' to check all IFO files. On a DVD-5 there should not be any different start sector. | Get VTS Sectors' |
| 3: | To make your DVD region free, open the file 'VIDEO_TS.IFO'
with IfoEdit and press 'Region
free'. If IfoEdit tells you that no RCE checking was found, save this IFO files and you're done and may proceed to the burning section. But if RCE checking was found, you must load all other IFO files too, and repeat the 'Region free' procedure. |

That one can then be burned with any burning tool except Nero! | Burning guides / 'Create Image' |
