Help requested - Can't generate an IMG from a particular torrent

Ref: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=70585

Hi -

I've been unable to process this torrent. I always use DVD Imager (using a Mac, OS 10.4.x), drag the TS_VIDEO folder to the tool, which produces a .IMG disk image that I can burn to disk using Disk Utility. Done this many times without a problem.

In this case, I change the name of the first folder from VIDEO_TS-1 to VIDEO_TS, drag it into DVD Imager and the tool works for a second and reports Done! (process usually takes 10 minutes or more.) It produces an empty .IMG file.

As a Plan B, I used Disk Utility:
- Change TS_VIDEO-1 to TS_VIDEO
- Add an AUDIO_TS folder
- Select New > Disk Image From Folder > select folder containing both _TS folders > Image Format = DVD/CD Master
- This produces a .CDR image
- I tried burning this to DVD using Disk Utility, but it produces a coaster.

Other clues:
- Usually, I can open the VIDEO_TS folder, select the VIDEO_TS.IFO, and open with DVD Player. In this case, the DVD Player says "Supported Disk Not Available".

- I can play the videos on my MAC if I use DVD Player > Open DVD Media > select the TS_VIDEO folder. So I know the video files are playable.

Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.

- Charles
