sup sup,

I have been having problems imaging my mini-DVDs from my SONY DCR DVD101. I have tried all of the options I can come up with to no avail.
-Just to be clear these are home movies
-FYI: SONY DCR DVD101 is a camcorder that records to mini-DVD uses USB to connect to Mac, therefore iMovie is basically useless to me.
-mini-DVDs play just fine in computer and dvd player

Disk Utility has made images of some of my mini-DVDs (so far only the SONY brand disks), but on my remaining disks (Memorex Mini DVD-R) I continue to get input/output error message. I get an I/O error using Toast 6.0.7 as well. I downloaded DVD Imager and that does not want to help either.

I believe these disks are not encrypted, hence the reason they can not be ripped (Mac the Ripper quits on me if I even try to rip them).

Basically I want to be able to copy these home movies to regular DVDs inorder to mail them to family. The images I was able to get using Disk Utility worked great and I was even able to "Join" several of them using DVD2OneX. I would like to be able to do so for all of my home movies.

Is there anything I can possibly be doing wrong?
Is there another way that I can extract the VIDEO_TS files in the disks to be able to copy them?
How can I determine if there is a corruption problem? Is there a fix for this if there is?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

FYI: Running 10.3.9 on a iMac 700Mghz G4, 512memory, copying to external 120 gig HD

DVD Backup should work for you since you're running 10.3 (it doesn't work with Tiger). I've used the program many times with great success.

Try Extractor

If that doesn't work, try opening in VLC with sft-cmd-o, choose advanced output and in those settings, dump raw input.

ok figured out what VLC is and downloaded it. Can I use VLC to extract the VIDEO_TS file to HD?

Tried to do what you instructed Uncle Skeleton, but I don't think I am doing it right.

You're going to have to explain a lot better than that if you think someone will know what you're doing wrong.

What happend with Extractor?
