Opening VOB in Tmpeg

[wulf109]

Tmpeg allows you to open VOB directly and encode them to SVCD.
You have to rip the movie as one file because Tmpeg will only open one VOB a ta time. This works on some movies,they open and I can encode the whole movie to SVCD. Some movies won't open correctly however. Tmpeg only sees the first few minutes instead of the whole movie. What causes this? Is there a way to correct it/
I've tried IFOedit with no success.

note: even though it says dvd2avi in the guide, you do not save to avi, your only making a d2v file, which is basically a map of the mpg for tmpgenc to follow. the mpeg2 plugin in tmpgenc is kinda buggy, so its best to use this step

oh btw, if your target is svcd, just use the svcd template instead of the vcd one

DVD2AVI is the problem. Creating a D2V with it introduces all kinds of macroblocking and motion artifacts. Opening the VOB directly in Tmpeg eliminates all these artifacts and yields a much better quality SVCD.
