    Okay, so I've been trying to rip from a DVD of my hockey team playing. The person who made them (who I'm not in contact with and probably doesn't have the tape or whatever anymore anyway) wrote them to a DVD-RW.

    I tried ripping the video off of the DVD as a VOB file using DVD Decrypter, Magic DVD Ripper, and MagicISO, but when I try to load it into the VDub mod for MPEG, I get this message:

    VideoSourceMPEG: Could not initialize stream
    Does anyone know what this means? This happens no matter how many times I re-rip the file.

    Have you tried any other editor? like avidemux or standard virtualdub with the mpeg2 plugin( http://home.comcast.net/~fcchandler/...EG2/index.html ).

    Waddayaknow, the plugin for standard VUB worked!

    Alas, the video is conclusively corrupted in the part of the movie that I wanted to extract. That was the whole problem I was having.

    In VLC, the video blinks on and off.
    In VDub, it's horribly pixelated and disgusting.
    When I import it out of VOB2MPG, it fails to render the entire DVD and during the corrupted parts, it shrinks the entire picture, shoves it to the top left of the video frame, and turns the entire thing green. o_O
    And the DVD freezes any normal DVD player.
