TMPGEnc DVD Author not importing full movie

[scottb721]

I am using TDA 1.5
I tried to import 2 movies (un-shrunk) to Track 1 and Track 2 of TDA but both only had about an hour each imported. The first movie only had 9 of 15 chapters imported.
The 2 movies were mounted ISO images.

My plan was to use TDA to make a 2 movie DVD with a selection menu. Output this as an uncompressed file then use DVDshrink to make it fit a DVD-R.

Any ideas why TDA isn't importing full movie ?

Thanks

did you select add dvd video? not just add the vob files.

Hi Baldrick
I chose Add DVD Video, selected the movie from the list of available titles on that Disc image, selected OK and chose to import chapter info.
I added another track and repeated this process for the other movie.

As it scanned first movie the chapter points it did show 'x' of 15 but only 9 chapters got imported.

I might have to try using Shrink, Rauthor the 2 movies down to 4.7G and then add each one to a track in TDA then author it.
Only problem with this method is that I won't know the exact level of compression needed to allow for TDA menu size.

Thankyou for your input.

Not that this helps, but to confirm your problem I've had the exact same thing happen to me trying to import a Mona Lisa Smile (my wife's movie) into TMPGEnc DVDAuthor to backup. I think this also happen on another movie whos name escapes me. This has only happened with 2 out of 20 or so that I've imported.

Sorry, I couldn't help ... I'm certainly interested in a solution though.
