Extracting DDP 2.0 files off DVD-R
Tue, 2007-08-21 06:29 — Michael Costa
Someone's already asked a similar question to this but the supplied answer doesn't seem to work for me.
Like many, we've got some jobs as DDP 2.0 files on DVD-Rs which we need to get back to do more work on. The advice given to another person on this forum was:
"Open the Layer0 folder and drag the DDPID file to Textedit. You should be able to find the Volume Name of the original DVD"
OK, well the DDPID file on Layer0 contains this:
DDP 2.00 DV1020OB30 VVVMD2 0000001600193024 DV10 017CONTROL.DAT VVVMD0 0201305600196608 DV10 017MAIN.DAT
So the name of the original DVD is .... "DV1020OB30" ?? Is that the one?
= = = = = = = = =
STEP 2
- Create a new folder on your hard drive and give it the name you just found. Copy the Layer0 and Layer1 files into it.
So you mean copy the entire Layer0 and Layer1 contents to the hard drive? I thought DVDAE could read it straight from the DVD?
Once I get these sorted the rest of the instructions should work fine.
Thanks a lot.

Textedit
Hi Michael,
Don't worry, no offense taken :-) I opened the MAIN.DAT in Textedit as suggested for the DDPID file - it was a very small test DDP file though so I don't know if it would work for a whole layer. Anything that allows the file to be viewed as ASCII should work, though.
The "invalid image" problem is because the Layer0 file is only half the image, as I suspected. To get around this you would need to concatenate the Layer0 and Layer1 files before renaming, using Terminal as described towards the end of the thread you found. Here's a link for anyone reading this.
But by the time you've done that you might as well just copy the files off the mounted image and start again from folders !
Glad you got it sorted,
Cheers,
Ian
Call off the dogs!!
Thanks for the tip-off Ian. I got it to work.
In case it helps others, luckily we found the original Sonic Creator scripts that this was made from. I searched the script in a text editor to find the proper name of the DVD as you suggested. Then I simply made a folder with this name on it and pointed DVDAE at it and it worked.
I also created Layer0 and Layer1 folders in that folder but I don't think I needed to because DVDAE immediately asked to replace them.
Thanks Ian for pointing me in the right direction.

Sorry Ian - my Larry? comment wasn't supposed to demean your help at all. Any further tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks for trying to
Thanks for trying to help.
How have you opened your MAIN.DAT file? If I change the suffix to .IMG I'm presented with an image file that cannot be opened either in the Finder or from Toast - it's not a valid image. In our case, this is layer0 of a DVD9.
I know DVDAE is supposed to be able to do this.
Larry?
Hi Michael,I just tried
Hi Michael,
I just tried this and couldn't see the name of my project in the DDPID file either - but I opened the MAIN.DAT file instead and found it there. Alternatively if you temporarily rename the MAIN.DAT file MAIN.ING, you should be able to mount this and read the name from there. ( NB. not sure if this works with only a single layer of a DVD-9 )
You need them on hard drive because DVDAE expects the enclosing folder ( with the Layer0 and Layer1 folders inside ) to have a name which matches the DVD volume name. If the DVD-R isn't named correctly already, you can't change it to make this the case.
Hope that helps ?
Ian
