Vob2mpeg minor issue heads up

[Cole]

It isn't a major problem, but there is a little issue that I have with vob2mpeg that I just would like to report.

I use vob2mpeg to rip DVD Recorder captures to my PC. When I first point vob2mpeg to the DVD and the destination folder, and press Start, I immediately get this:



I will then press ok and start the process again. This time there will be no problem.
As in the photo, I am using version 2.2.

Excellent and very useful program by the way.

[ChrissyBoy]

Mmm. Do you get a log generated after the first "start"? (logs are in the logs folder under where you installed VOB2MPG

[Cole]

I wasn't sure which one it was because I used the program since I took the screen capture, so I did the process again.

I believe that this is the log:

If it is anyhelp, I am running Win2000 and the default program for DVDs is Power DVD.

[ChrissyBoy]

Not much to see from the log. Can you try the latest version http://software.badgerit.com/Releases/VOB2MPGv2_3.zip

(can't remember what the difference is between 2.2 & 2.3 ...)

Same thing is happening, but not much else to shed any light on it. I wonder if this is a particular quirk because of my PC.

Here is the log:

[ChrissyBoy]

Arh yes i remember now. It supports multiple audio streams. 2.2 and before just gave you the first audio stream.

[ChrissyBoy]

does it still work if you "start again"?

[Cole]

Yes, this behaves in the same way. First attempt throws up the same as in the screen capture and the second attempt works fine.
