When you mount the img for the third DVD and open the DVD in My Computer (right click and open or explore, not autorun or 'play with') what do you see?

Try PowerDVD for playing DVDs with menus. :thumbsup Right click the video window for more options.

Well, I see EBBA_DIDRIK_E7-9.img, impossible to play in any of videoplayers I have on my PC. Never mind, the .avi file I start to d/d via Azureus, and after about 3 hrs I am on 70%, with d/d going on, 4 sources right now.

So the file inside the img file is also an img? Somebody double coded it. :bigups Try copying that file (EBBA_DIDRIK_E7-9.img) to your hard disk, then mount that one like you mounted the other one.

No, it's not, abel got confused somewhere. It plays Ok when mounted with daemon tools... I used VLC (open disc) to view it. (The version of PowerDVD I have, installed by Dell at the factory, has for some reason never worked. I almost never watch DVDs on the computer anyway.)

Well, guys, thanks for a lot of useful advices, but the torrent downloaded via Azureus contains all 9 parts separately, i. e. 9 .avi files, each with English subtitles (extra .srt files), which wasn´t the case with the previous .img files. I guess that might be interesting also for FLM visitors, don´t you think? Just, how to post a torrent? :think

Wherever you downloaded the torrent from, post a link to that site.

Also, since you have downloaded the file, you can add it to your eMule shared folders (without modifying it) and release it that way. I'm sure there is a corresponding ed2k release already available, and it will be nice to have a friend in the sources for that.

Aww! Such a stupid error! The subtitles aren´t English, but Swedish or so, anyway Scandinavian. Nevertheless, the fact that the episodes are each on a separate file is positive. I´ve never met the subtitles for this series.

Are you sure? Sometimes there are multiple languages in the subtitle files. Right click the video window in VLC and see if you can select a different subtitle track.

The .img files from the DVDs have Swedish-only subs... and .SRT files are one language per file. In fact how many Swedish productions have you seen with English subs? A very small percentage. It was in fact this thread which reminded me that Google had recently added translation languages,. someday machine translation will be good enough.

Thanks for setting us straight, FLL. Nice to have input from someone who actually has the files we are talking about. :bigups I can only guess - don't have the files yet; have to go on a DVD burning spree to make some space, and anyway 9GB will take me almost 2 weeks to download, even if kind folks like you, ghost and my other friends at FLM help me out. I think I'll just wait for someone to make a compressed version - xvid, divx, mkv, mp4. :( Or, in the absence of subs, maybe just the clips.
