Creat DVD with VOB files, without re-encode

[temp759]

I have some VOB files(e.g. VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_02_1.VOB, ...).
The VOB files are created by a sony DVD camera.
I want to add a simple menu and creat a DVD without to re-encode the VOB video files.
Is there any tool to do it.

I used "GUI for dvdauthor", but it makes "Inconsistent timecodes" error on some VOB files.

Please help me.
Thanks

Use VOB2MPG to extract the video and audio from the VOBs without re-encoding, then author with these. Try DVD Styler instead for authoring.

Thanks,
I used VOB2MPG, but it takes long time to extract and subtitles will also be removed. Is there any other tool?

Try importing the VOBs into DVD Styler, however DVD cameras were not meant for people who want to do anything with their footage except watch it off the disc they recorded it on. MPG files cannot contain subtitles, so anything that extracts the video and audio will lose the subs. Those you will have to extract manually using a subtitle ripper, and put back in during authoring. I suspect the timecodes issue comes form the stop-start nature of camcorders. The only tools I know of that may fix that don't work on VOB files.

I think it is a very simple task to just add menu to some video files (without re-encoding).
I have tried many tools loke nero, DVDLab, FixVTS, VobBlanker, DVDflick and ..., but non of these do the correct job. Some tools remove subtitles and some encode the file and so on!
Do you have any idea about TMPGEnc_DVD_Author?
Thanks

In addition to menus, IFOs and BUPs need to accompany the VOBs. If you want to create a working DVD with a menu from what you have, you'll need to follow guns1inger's advice. There are no shortcuts. No program can figure out what to do by looking at the VOBs alone.

...but it makes "Inconsistent timecodes" error on some VOB files.
This is just a warning, the resulting DVD may be fully ok, but there is no guarantee. You can try it nevertheless.
Other possibility:
Demultiplex the vob files and use the elementary streams in GfD. If you have ifo files for your vob files, use pgcdemux. Otherwise try projectx. You should get the video (m2v or mpv) audio (wav, ac3 or mp2) and subtitles (sup) in separate files which can be imported in GfD. Then the streams should be 'clean' (no inconsistencies).

Hi, I would suggest using the following guide:

Also, look at my recent posts (advanced search for author btodorov) as I had to solve similar problem with one of my recovered DVDs.

dvdflick has the feature "copy mpeg2 stream". if your vobs are in a dvd compliant mpeg2 stream.
