Weird - Video Files Copied from DVD with VOB2MPG different length

[GeoffWA]

Hi All,
Would appreciate any clues here, if you look at image of VOB2MPG window everything looks as I expect. The data on the files created shown in file explorer image though show 2 files are about half the length of the source, though they are size as expected as if they were normal length.
VLC player confirms the short length.

Any ideas?

cheers

So this is a TV Show series DVD/set? How many episodes are listed on the cover?

Doesn't say what the title is, so there's always the possibility of multi-angle, seamless branching, 3d muxed elements, etc. Any of those could account for the difference.

Its a series from old TV show, contains 7 x ~25min episodes, 4:3 video. Disc seems to play fine in VLC and the episodes have the lengths summarised by VOB2MPG.

How was it decrypted, how is it being decrypted(while running VOB2MPEG)?

[GeoffWA]

VOB2MPG only software used.

You really need to decrypt the disc to your hdd first. Probably DVDShrink would work ok especially if it is a local Australian region 4 disc. They don't seem to bother with the latest protection down here in the antipodies . Then use vob2mpg

Here is the view from DVD Decrypter, doesn't this mean it's not encrypted?

Have used VOB2MPG successfully on other discs from the same box.

Just tried ripping to hard drive with DVD Decrypter then used VOB2MPG, same result, ie 2 files with video half length.

Just tried processing one of the offending mpgs with Video Redo "Quickstream Fix" and it fixed the vid length issue.

So it looks like it is sorted? Anyway another way you could do is to simply using the original DVD and use MakeMKV and see how many titles it throws up and the lengths..
