VRO edit with two titles

[trozza]

hay, heres the problem.

i have a VRO file which i recorded on dvd recorder, i'v recorded two tv shows onto it, it plays fine on the tv. I put it into the computer renamed it to mpg. and it plays in fast forward and as one complete file. even though everyone sounds like chipmunks you can clearly tell that that the audio in the 2nd title matchs up.

Now i'v imported the mpg into adobe premiere pro 2.0, and everything plays at normal speed. and it all plays as one file. EXCEPT the audio is stuffed.

from what i can understand, the audio plays to 40 minutes into it, and then loops. the total length of the video is 3 hours and 40 minutes. the last 40 minutes is the 2nd title, the first 3 hours is a differen't title. and the 40 minutes with of audio loop is from the first title.

any ideas what is going wrong with the audio? the audio according to properties.

source is "48000hz - compressed - stereo" and
project audio is "48,000 hz 32bit floating point stereo"


[i'm trying to seperate the two titles incase your trying to work out what i'm doing]

thanks for any help anyone can give

I would try using DVD Decrypter to demux the video and audio from the original disc. Simply renaming one file type to another is not a solution that I would recommend.

i couldn't get dvd decrypt to open the vro file on the disc, or accept the disc it kept stopping because there was no video_ts folder. i did a quick search on guides and couldn't find anything at a quick glace. if you don't mind spending a bit of time explaining, can you please tell me how to do it?

thanks if you can
your help will be much appreciated

From what I've read, set-top recorders go out of their way to make copying/editing difficult, including making it confusing for software. There are some threads I've come across that talk about various ways to access everything if you wanted to do a bit of searching.

A guess might be to try shrink at 0 compression (100 % qual) to isolate titles to your HD.

hay i tried dvdshrink no luck there either. it couldn't find any video_ts files

the layout inside the dvd goes like this

open disc up disc is named dvd_recorder
there is one folder inside and its called DVD_RTAV

then there are two files inside
they are called "VR_MANGR.IFO" which is 91kb
and "VR_MOVIE.VRO" which is 3.9gb's

the vr_movie.vro i renamed to mpg to edit in adobe premiere but had that problem as listed. um, any other ideas on how to fix?

Thanks again

Some posts recommend using tmpgenc to demux the mpeg from the .VRO files.

Can you load the renamed VRO in something like virtualdubmpeg2 ?

[trozza]

okie i opened the file with tmpgenc and it only did the first title on the disc. it should of been roughly 3 hours long, but it only encoded the first 40 minutes of it. including audio.. that length is the same length that the audio in premiere is. but in premiere video goes for the full 3 hours and 40 minutes. it didn't even recongise the 2nd title in the mpg file.

and when i downloaded virtualdubmpeg2 the zip was corrupt so i didn't get to test to see if it worked with virtualdub..

if it helps at all my dvd recorder is a samsung dvd-r121

hay figured it out...

it is probably just this model of dvd recorder, but you have to have a cleanly formated disc, you can only press record and stop once, and then finialise the disc and then put it into the computer and copy the vro across and rename it to .mpg or .avi or whatever

if you press record, and stop, and then record and stop again, it will only take the audio from the first record and stop and repeat it for the length of video.

hope that makes sense :P

also you can't simply just delete the titles on the dvd recorder and then start recording, it actually needs to be formated..

hope that helps anyone else who is having problems..
