Exactly, DVD Shrink just decrypted the files and got them ready for burning. You can a) either convert those files to a watchable video file, or 2) you can burn them to dvd and put in dvd player.

 

i'm going to go with choice A. how do i go about doing that? i appreciate your guys help and i apologize for basicly having to have my hand held thru this process.. computers and what not are definitly not my specialty

 

what was option a?

 

my goal is to put them onto a portable hard drive

 

Ah, ok, I skimmed but didnt see my OWN post...lol. You may want to heed the method of others, I have not done conversions myself, not in a very very long time anyways and am a little rusty as for a step-by-step.

A quick google yields a few results:
