Pretty much like an VIDEO_TS folder from an ordinary DVD with additional and transformed content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.100.203.104 (talk) 23:14, 16 August 2006  (UTC)
Yes, in fact, I think someone should add on the front page that a compressed file extraction program such as 7-zip or winRAR can extract a .ratDVD file.--ejail 05:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A .ratDVD is a .zip file 

message: The first feature of the format states:
"A .ratDVD file keeps all the features found on the original DVD"
Is it really necessary, then, to list all possible options a DVD can have? If *all* features from the original DVD are kept then listing what they might be (branching, subtitles, chapters, commentaries, etc.) is irrelevant and reeks of useless PR ("Buy this camera! You can take pictures with it! You can also print them!"). If there is *any* feature from an original DVD that isn't kept (for example, DVD-ROM content) then that's what should be listed.
I don't edit it directly because I'd be taking half of the current article (which is a bunch of lists, for the most part) out. But I believe it should be done. I'll make it myself later if there is no opposition. When I go to see an article on the Black Widow saying "It's a spider, and as such has eight legs, two body segments, no chewing mouth parts and no wings". It's a spider, and in the article about spiders it clearly says what this means. Same thing. eduo 15:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Even a DVD in itself uses lossy compression for the video. Is the discussion really supposed to be at such a low skill level? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.249.223.23 (talk) 18:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  RatDVD compression 

message: On ratDVD.ca they claim many players support the format. So I tried Windows Media Player and Ashampoo's player (on Windows XP). None of them recognized ratDVD. Then I downloaded ratDVD itself. Turns out the latest version (v0.78) is free. After that, WMP can play ratDVD files. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.249.223.23 (talk) 18:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
