Some users reported problems in IFOEDIT stage. So, IFOEDIT was replaced by MUXMAN because of the extended possibilities and better control over the program


27/12/2004 - Released Version 0.3.6

ISO DVD is a GUI to MKISOFS to create DVD ISO IMAGES.
Just create the DVD directory structure and put the files in VIDEO_TS folder :

example:

C:\DVD
.........\AUDIO_TS
.........\VIDEO_TS
........................\*.VOB
........................\*.IFO
........................\*.BUP

Run ISO DVD and Specify the VOLUME LABEL, the folder with DVD STRUCTURE and the name of the ISO IMAGE to create.

Download the zip and put ISODVD.EXE on the same directory of DVDREasy.


27/12/2004 - TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have an ATI Graphic Card with CATALYST drivers and experience craches/hungs in CCE take a look at this thread in the forum.


14/11/2004 - Released Version 0.3.2

     - VMG and VTS Sectors correction implemented (like GET VTS SECTORS in IFOEDIT)

In same cases, with DVDREasy 0.3.1, the creation of ISO image failed due to incorrect VTS sectors in IFO files.

Now DVDREasy corrects VMG sectors in VIDEO_TS.IFO and VTS sectors in VTS_01_0.IFO.
This correction is made regardless what option for the conversion process you choose (Convert / Convert & Create ISO Image / Convert, Create & Burn ISO Image)


25/09/2004 -  Released Version 0.3.1

     - You can choose the HD's root directory as your Working folder (C:, D:, ...) (bug fix)
     - DVDREasy now have 3 options for the conversion process:
            Convert - the same as before.
            Convert & Create ISO Image - Create ISO image after conversion (mkisofs)
            Convert, Create & Burn ISO Image - Create and Burn after the conversion (DVDDecrypter)

The 2 new options have been fully tested in Windows 2000/XP. Should run well in 9X/ME also. (please post any problem in the forum)


12/05/2004 - Released Version 0.2.0

     - It runs in windows 9x/ME/2000/XP
     - Some improvements in the conversion proccess
     - Only execute PULLDOWN if movie is NTSC and FrameRate is 23.976


05/04/2004 - Released Version 0.1.5

The conversion process is a little diferent :

    - Ifo parsing is made inside DVDREasy (and not by vstrip)
    - Rip is made by DVD Decrypter (which is much faster and less erroneous)
    - ChapterXtractor is not needed anymore (DVD Decrypter will generate Chapters files for CCE
      and IFOEDIT)
    - Ifo corrections is made inside DVDREasy (and not by IFOEDIT - PGC colors, Audio and subtitles
      languages) 

So, VSTRIP and ChapterXtractor will not be used anymore and DVD Decrypter will be a new tool in the conversion process.


08/01/2004 -  Released Version 0.0.6

This release will correct some problems reported with DVDREasy 0.0.5

   - It works with all versions of NOTEPAD.EXE (English, France,etc)
   - It will correct the stupid bug of spaces in the working directory path (File not found error).
   - It should correct the green subtitles problem.
   - DVD Authentication - Rip should not fail anymore...


19/12/2003 - Feedback of DVDREasy Users

Some people report that after choosing the IFO file DVDREasy show a "FILE NOT FOUND" error.

It seems it's a "bug" in DVDREasy.

The problem occurs if the PATH of the working folder you have chosen has spaces
(ex: "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxx" or "c:\My Documents\xxxxxx", etc)

This problem ONLY occurs for the path of the working directory !
CCE and Bitrate Viewer CAN have spaces in their path's.

This will be fix in the next release.For now, goto "Folders & Paths" in the "Settings Menu" and define a new working directory that don't have spaces in the path.


12/12/2003 - Released Version 0.0.5 - First Public Release

This is the first public release of DVDREasy. Please feel free to give me some feedback.
   - Only tested with CCE 2.5.
   - It was tested with all kinds of Audio (PCM, AC3 2.0, AC3 5.1 and DTS).
   - It was tested with PAL and NTSC movies.

Known problems :
   - You must have English version of NOTEPAD.EXE. - It will be fixed in the next release.
   - Rip will fail if you don´t have "opened" the DVD - After insertion of the original DVD  just watch
