TMPGenc DVDAuthor Authoring problem

[clanger]

Hi All !

I'm trying to use TMPGenc DVD Author to re-author Spiderman (the PAL DVD version). I've ripped the VOB's using both Smartripper and DVDShrink, but whenever I try to load them into DVD Author it doesn't load the whole film.
I've definately got the whole film ripped because I can play the movie using PowerDVD.

I load up DVD Author, choose "Create New Project", then choose "Add DVD Video". I choose the directory that the VOB files are saved in, then it opens a new window showing the video, "title1", at 1hr 56min 14sec, then select the audio stream I want (either 6ch or 2ch AC3).
Clicking on "Next", this gives the option of copying the files to disk (??) and whether to read the chapter info. selecting this then clicking next opens another windo which shows a preview of the movie and the chapter points - 28. However when it gets to 21 chapters it jumps to the end and finishes.
In the "Add Clip" window that now opens, if I choose the "chapter edit cut" button, I find I've only got 21 chapters, and 1hr 14mins 40.02 seconds of the movie !!!!

I've tried demuxing the vobs, which works, but nmeans I loose the chapter info, ripping to one huge vob file, which doesn't seem to work at all, (DVD Author doesn't show a video or audio stream).

Has anyone else tried doing this, and does it work for them ?
