Making a RID File

I am either stupid or just don't get it. I am trying to create a RID file to control a Satellite receiver. I have a URC-8910 and can learn the codes. Then I can read the URC-8910 with IR.EXE and the cable I bought. I can see the learned IR codes. I learned 0 -9, power and enter and put these in idgen.exe with protocol (NEC1), the efc and obc code for each IR. Here is where I get confused. From this point what do i do now to create the final rid file. If someone would be kind enough to explain the exact procedure for creating the RID file I would be very happy!

The exact process is described here:

I have updated the RID Gen zip file to include the additional programs that you need:

The steps outlined in the thread above assume that you have a JP1 upgrade file first, whereas in your case you are jumping straight from the learned signals, which is OK. However, if there is a JP1 upgrade available it would save you some time, so please mention which SAT box you have.

Thanks so much for your help! Followed instructions and made the rid file used Flipflop's ISO to get file into Replay and it works great!
