vob->mpg problem

[X400]

hi im trying to turn a vob file from one of my dvdrs i made back into an mpg file so that i can fix some problems on it, when i made the vob it was 2 seperate MPG files and TDA turned it into 1 vob file, when i try to use DVD2SVCD i keep getting an error right after it extracts the audio file, it says it cant find the file.

so

I load the vob into TMPGenc and tmpg can only find the first half of the vob file (which war originaly CD1 of the 2 cd movie) and it cant find the second half of the vob file to process, so i can convert the first half of the movie but it cant find the second half even tho its right there in that vob file.

i dont know what to do since dvd2svcd isnt working and tmpg cant find the second half. and yes the second half is in there when you load the vob file into any player you can watch both cd1 and cd2 from that combined vob file..

;( plz help what do i need to do.

Two good methods to use:

1- frameserve from DVD2AVI into TMPGEnc

open your VOB files in DVD2AVI and then save the project file. You will get two files the video frame server *.d2v and the audio (either wav or mp2) .. feed both into TMPGEnc and then convert

2-Load your VOB files into VirtualDub MPEG-2 Mod -- http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/stable/index.html then frameserve from VirtualDub into TMPGEnc

one of those two should work just fine

If your only going to edit then framserving is a waste of time (unless part of your editing involves re-encoding) because you will need to re-encode (not to mention lose quality). The simplest way i know of is to use ReJig in ifo mode, and it will demux the vob sequence into m2v and mp2 streams, once you have your ES then you can do whatever you need to with them and re-author. :)

If you must re-encode then the process Stinky suggested should work fine.
