"Failed to Add file to Itunes..."

[1minite]

Well, seems to me that everyone gets the same error message, just a different problem to go with it. I used it a few times and it works, then i try a video a decrypted and it worked to(it was on MPG4 768kps stereo/128kps). Next, i decide to do another one. However, everytime I try to convert it, it goes for three seconds, does nothing then the error message. I tried using every single option on the right in the converting area, then checking around here for some answers, tried those, and yet I still cannot get it to work.

I'll post my console thingy to show you what I have:

Failed to add file to iTunes Library

What do I need to do to make it work?

[Midiman]

An IFO file isn't video and you can't convert it.

[1minite]

So the problem isnt even in the converter itself, but rather in the ripper? So what would I do to make it work?

[Midiman]

Nothing... it's not a video file. You can't make it work on a text file. The files that were ripped that ARE video files are .VOB files.

[1minite]

So how would I get the .VOB files from the one I have? In other words, how do I use the ripper to rip the .VOB files? What I'm understanding is that the file I do have isn't even video, I got that. Next, I can't do anything with it because of it's format. What I want to know... hold on, is it possible to extract .VOB files from IFO files? Because I think IFO and ISO are about the same. So how would I proceed to make sure that I can acquire .VOB files with the ripper.

Just so you know, I followed the instructions on the main site EXACTLY as they were posted for the ripper. Is there some DVD's that need to be ripped differently than others?

I just need to know what it is that i can do to get the correct file to get the converter to work.

[Midiman]

If you followed the directions exactly, you should have ended up with 1 .IFO file and a matching .VOB file. What operating system are you running?

[1minite]

I am using Windows XP, but I'm typing this on a computer at school.

[Midiman]

Not really sure what to tell you at this point other than to stop using Documents and settings to store stuff in... it's a ridiculous MS construct that can induce all kinds of it's own problems. Store your files somewhere else on the C: drive.

I see this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\My Documents\My Videos\New Folder\VTS_03_0.IFO

In the directory C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\My Documents\My Videos\New Folder\, there should be a file named VTS_03_0.VOB or VTS_03_1.VOB, if there is not, we can assume that it wasn't ripped correctly and you should try again.

[Midiman]

Additionally, DVD Decrypter won't rip everything by itself. You may need RipIt4Me on some titles.

Well, Im back home, and I decide to check and see what else was there. As it turns out, there was a .VOB file, right below it. Although it struck me odd that the other one worked, and yet I think it was only 1 thing it ripped. The first movie that I ripped that worked was: The Day After Tomorrow. The one that had the .VOB file with it when I double checked was: Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It's currently converting, although it seems to be taking longer than the other movie, and yet that one is 2 hours long and this one is about 20 minutes shorter. Is that normal?

[Midiman]

Conversions take a lot of time, yes, it's normal. You're lucky if you can get it done in twice the length of the source video.
