Although Cast Ripper runs within the Director Player, it disables scripting for all loaded movies, preventing their code from interfering with the export process. But the Director Player still attempts to load any cast files, linked cast members, and Xtras that each movie depends on. Therefore when exporting it is best to keep movies in their original folders and to copy any required Xtras into Cast Ripper's Xtras folder, otherwise error dialogs may pop up during the export process. If you are using Cast Ripper to process many files and don't know what Xtras they may need, Cast Ripper provides an option to auto-dismiss the error dialogs, preventing the export process from stalling.
