Dvdx: vob in vcd out, vcd has overlaying video - any ideas?

[Fluffbutt]

DvdX 2.2, ripped vob to HD, encoded to vcd, written by nero (3 cd's).

Stand alone video (which plays all my other stuff perfectly) plays 15 mins, then the vid repeats 5 mins plays 15, repeats 5. Like this:

---------------
...............--------------
.............................---------------
...........................................---------------
.................................................. .......---------------

(ignore the dots - this board doesn't understand <pre>, and the spaces were stripped out - just notice the dashes positions)

up to the end of the movie. That's why it took 3 cd's !!!

Anyone have any idea why?

Try DVD Shrink. Compress to one DVD.

No dvd writer here, just cdr/rw. Dvd writers are too dear here in Australia. even a bad one is over $500.

Did you make the MPEG file with TMPGEnc and try to burn it with VCDEasy? It was how I did my VCDs.

Nope, DvdDecrypter ripped the vobs, then DvdX 2.2 reencoded them to vcd (3 of them). then burned them with nero. This is my standard method for all dvd's, and only this one has failed. (die another day).
