Where did titanic vanished

[kaushik]

I had a 720p "Titanic" rip spread over 4Gb+ on a moser baer
DVD-r media...

The movie was in mkv format with subs etc ...i played 1 - 2 times and kept at a dark place.


After a few month i tried to copy that file (mkv) to my lappy

it just did 268MB .. i kept the DVD in the laptop dvd drive after a week.... windows shows 4.37Gb full but i cant see the file..

where is the titanic??
is it bad to keep DVDs inside laptop drive

..apparently the the disc is very clear and scratch free.

Its probably at the bottom of the ocean ... I think it collided with the split command and broke into unreadable chunks. :lol:

More seriously, I remember XP has problems reading files larger than 2GB, and the fix may be in some service pack if you are lucky.

The cd's file format system prolly died so "the" titanic never reached its destination.

I know of many people who leave DVD/CDs inside the drives for whatever reason. I always remove it.

If Windows is showing 4.xx GB, some of the files could be hidden for other applications. When you ripped the movie, you may have flagged a feature unknowingly. Trying going into DOS mode and seeing what it shows. If it shows all files and the right size, the applications you are using in Windows to copy may have some limitations.

Also remember, Windows by itself cannot copy a 4GB file unless the object drive is NTFS. You could be trying to copy it into a FAT32 or a FAT16 partition. That cannot be done.

Unless your laptop became hungry and ate part of the movie !!

Cheers

Thank you all ,

i normally remove DVDs from drive , this one i forgot.
Before it used to show a mkv file and play from the disk, so writing was done properly .

I will check in DOS .

corElement may be correct but how??
is it summer or laptop heat that killed the disc . any one who have a report on this X-file .... scully , moulder?

gobble ,
no service pack needed, Vista already has 6 pack.
"Before it used to show a mkv file and play from the disk"
i want to collect the chunks before they were eaten by deep sea sponges.

Those kind of things happen only in X-Files and other SciFi movies. Unfortunately us simple humans are always caught with our pants down having committed some simple blunder.

It was either burnt / written too fast or the cd itself was faulty. CD/dvd quality has gone down the shithole in the last 10 years. My cd's from 1990 still run, new ones die from nothing.

corE, venki
i think are pointing to the same thing .. bad media .
but anyone can tell me how it was showing 268mb file
and now nothing..


I suspect the file table part is damaged , searching for recovery
utility

 

[doors666]

try it on a different pc, preferrably a desktop, it might work there.

Hi Kaushik
Is it single file or multiple files of 4 gb ? if you get error around 268 mb make rough judgement of time period and play from dvd itself if it hangs or shows error media is damaged or that particular part is badly recorded. "Bad cd repair pro" or "recover my files" can be used but dont know how efficient they are.

 

[kaushik]

it was single mkv ,recoverdisc.exe gave me 268mb file which is useless .
I have to get the content from my friend who is now in mumbai.
This time will write on a sony DVD bought from croma mall.

The moser baer appears to be fake , the print on the inner circle is not properly aligned.
