Problem with a ripped VOB

[rsgars]

First, let me explain that I am doing this as a learning process, simply to gain experience converting files from DVD to Divx, xvid and/or H264. So, please don't get angry with me.

I am working with a DVD of Franco Zeferelli's, Jesus of Nazareth." I ripped the files off of the DVD and have found the VOB file that seems to have the entire first disc on it. However, this file has five trailers at the beginning before the movie starts. If I bring this file into VDub the trailers begin to play and about half way through the fifith trailer the audio for the main movie begins playing but the video is still the trailer. From that point on the audio and video are significantly out of synch. If I choose any other VOB that doesn't have the trailers VDub seems to work with them fine. What am I doing wrong, or could this be an anomaly of this particular DVD?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.

There are a couple of options.

Try loading the disc with DVD Shrink, then using re-author mode to create a new disc with just the main title in it. Write the results to your HDD, then try to work with the new VOBS.

or

Try a different tool - avi.net can load VOBs and might be able to extract just the title.

Thanks. I was thinking about giving DVDShrink a try. So many tools!

DVD Shrink worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice. Now to figure out the proper settings for Super to encode to H264. I know there is a guide. I will have to revisit it.
