Existing users, 
I've been using this product for about a month now, and like it very much. For burning most DVDs, it works simply and flawlessly.
I've had a couple of recent issues, however:
(1) I have about 3 DVDs now which the program will not convert into .img files. The symptoms are the same as described in some of the ohter comments here, the progress bar appears then disappears almost immediately, and an .img file of 0K size is created. I've mamanged to capture the log files for two of these DVDs.
One log file contains the following:
/Applications/DVD Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs: Implementation botch. Video pad for file VTS_01_0.IFO is -11
/Applications/DVD Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs: Either the *.IFO file is bad or you found a mkisofs bug.
The other log file contains the following:
/Applications/DVD Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs: No such file or directory. Faild to open /private/tmp/lelandtmploc//VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_0.IFO
/Applications/DVD Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs: Can't open VTS info.
/Applications/DVD Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs: Unable to parse DVD-Video structures.
/Applications/DVD Imager.app/Contents/Resources/mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.
Any help in diagnosing or resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.
(2) On the last 2-3 DVDs I've imaged (successfully) with version 1.5.7, just before the very end of the process, I receive the following message: Applescript Error
window "status" doesn't understand the autre message. (-1708)
Once this message is dismissed, there is only a Cancel button below the progress bar. Once I hit Cancel and the Quit, however, the DVD seems to be imaged in full, as I can view it to the end, both from the .img file and from the burned DVD.
Thanks for any help with either or both of these issues.

BTW, I've also noticed that, despite the destination pathway listed in the appropriate place, the app now asks me to find the destination anew each time, without the box being checked.Jack

No, the programs do different things. Mac the Ripper takes an encrypted VIDEO_TS folder and creates an unprotected VIDEO_TS folder. DVD Imager takes an unprotected VIDEO_TS folder and creates a DVD-formatted image.For the record, I've also had the problem the original poster described on a few VIDEO_TSes.

I've had the problem of the 0 k img files and also of it creating 7 gig files from a 3 gig TS folder : ). Although I was unable to find library files to trash, and permissions/cache fixing didn't help, reinstalling the app did. It keeps happening (orig G5, 10.4.8) so I keep the dmg handy for frequent reinstalls.I've also come across a few TS folders that it just didn't like. Unable to determine if the problem was in the original source, but others were apparently able to burn the same downloaded folder on their own various rigs, so while I can't point the finger at DVD Imager in certainty, it does seem to be finicky.
Props to the author, though. I'm always impressed and appreciative of those who can create these things. For free, no less.

I'm having the same problem as you list in item (2) about the "doesn't recognize the autre message". I wasn't sure to risk burning the img. Thanks for the assurance that it'll work.Jack
