My MPEG2 VOBs cant be added in TMPGEnc :(

[MTy]

Hey think iv hade this problem before but now i cant solve it, here is the deal:

I got these 3 VOB files which i want to make a playable DVD of. When i open them in PowerDVD it tells me that they are MPEG2 and therefor should be compatible with TMPEnc but they are not TMPEnc tells me that its not MPEG2. What im i doing wrong? Iv tried making IFO files with ifo edit for my VOB files but the ready DVD wount play. So if u think to ur self "WHAT AN IDIOT!" then tell me how to fix it


thx / MTy

Start by using g-spot 2.52beta on the VOBs to see exactly what is in them (audio and video). Some software will create VOBs that are not strictly DVD compliant, and some software will only handle compliant video. G-spot will let you see if you have compliant material. See What is DVD (top left corner of this site) for ocmparison.

You don't say how you made these VOBs or where they came from, however mpeg2 or VOBs on their own are no guarantee of compliance.

The VOBs came from a VHS transfere i belive which then made it to me in DVD format. But there was someting wrong with the DVD i got, the VOB files where played in the wrong order for some reason, VTS_01_1.VOB is the first and VTS_01_3.VOB is the last in order but still they where played in the wrong order so thats why i needed to reauth the DVD.

I'll checkout this g-spot and se what it tells me

Or try fix the vobs with for example videoredo and output mpg files.

Just ran one of my vobs thru VOB2MPG and that didn't work, it became all messed up the picture was all freaky gonna try useing videoredo now

[guns1inger]

It really sounds like you have apile of crap dressed up as VOBs. These are usually pretty reliable programs that are choking on it.

Other options to try

Demux with Rejig
If you have the whole structure (ifo and bup files as well) run it through FixVTS and they try again

Personally, I think you are starting to push s*&t up hill.

VideoReDo, Rejig and FixVTS didnt work either so i guess my vobfiles are petty f**ked. But the good news is that i discovered that the vobfiles play in the right order on the dvd if i dont try to skip forward. So I guess im alright after all sry i'v wasted ur time but thx for ur help.

You can fixed the VOB file sequence with vobedit. the guide is here : https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=120021

Then you can use open the first of the fixed vob files with ifoedit, and let ifoedit generates the ifo files for you.

Then you can play it with PowerDVD, before you burn them to a DVDR.
