Problem that I have been trying to solve for three days. as of nov.28th

[jaredc91]

I'm new to this forum and came across it searching for answers and there seemed to be alot of good info here. Unfortunately I could not find the answer to my problem.
Here goes:
My HTPC works great with dvds both via the disc and ones that have been ripped to the hard drive.
My problem is that I am trying to link tv episodes, via the discs from the series boxes via my movies. I discovered that I can combine the ripped vob files and then just rename them as .mpg for VMC or just WMP11 to play them. I downloaded ffdshow and I finally got Dolby Digital out from both VMC and WMP.

Here's what I'm working on now. I can't control the video in either program. If I just click play it's fine but I can't skip forward, back or pause. I can play it through media player classic with no problems except that it doesn't output into the Dolby Digital, or atleast not that I can figure out. anyway, I really need them to play via media center for it to be of any use to me.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Tim C.

Thank you SO much! Program works great. You seem very knowledgeable, do you know of a lightweight mpg editor? the program put all the episodes iinto one mpg file.

VideoReDo or MPEG-VCR would be two to look into. Or MPEG StreamClip for freeware. Others here: https://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections/video-editors-mpg-dvd

And welcome to our forums.

mpeg2cut2 is good for simple cut/paste editing of MPG/VOB files.
