Those steps are great!!! Now one last question pertaining to this...I set up TotalMounter the way you showed above, but now am I using this to extract an ISO from a DVD of my home video's or am I using this to take files from my PC, and convert them to an ISO?
Use the software you would normally use to convert your videos to burn to DVD. Select the emulated drive as the drive to burn to using that software. That will generate the ISO file containing the videos. Then you can burn the videos by double clicking the ISO file (software on your computer should know what to do with an ISO file. If not, I can help you find software that does).
Perfect!!
And to restore my pc back to the partition I had before I restored to factory settings, or basically replace this partition with that partition how would I go about that?
Start that Windows disc you made and select only the C: partition (the biggest one) and replace the same partition on your current system.
ConvertXtoDVD burns Audio & Video TS files...how can I get those as an ISO file, so that I can burn them?
It will still "burn" those, but it will input them into an ISO file. All an ISO file is is a DVD file that is made up exactly like a DVD file system. The ISO file will contain the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS in the same manner as a DVD, and then when you burn the ISO to DVD, it will show up on the DVD as VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS instead of as ISO.
So does totalMounter actually perform any burning or is it just a "ghost" drive to act as a burner, so I can get a copy of the files I want to burn?
It does not perform any burning. It is a virtual drive that creates a file so you can burn the file to an actual disc and access your videos from that disc.
And the tech guys at Best Buy said that if I can burn with Windows DVD Maker (Which I can) then it is a driver problem with a 3rd party app, and I need to resolve with the manufacturer of that program!!!!
