cutting out the end of a vob file

[umair]

does anyone know how i can cut out the end of a vob file? i found something called vobedit but don't know how to use it. anyone know how to use it or know of any other software?

[Jimmykicker]

Try Chopper XP -- might not be too accurate, but give it a try...

[umair]

i tried that but i can't even get it to open the file. what about Virtualdub-MPEG2, would that work?

[andkiich]

Try DVDShrink 3.0 beta 5.

[umair]

what can i do with DVDShrink? it doesn't do anything with vob files

[Jimmykicker]

Actually, the reauthor section in DVD Shrink is amazing...you should be able to do it with this. Check out this guide and you should be able to figure it out. I've used it many times for cutting scenes.

but i can't open a vob file using dvd shrink. it has to be from a dvd. i just have a vob file. its not from a dvd

Well then make it into a DVD temporarily
I'm serious

umair -

did you try the manual extraction mode in ChopperXP?

[Jimmykicker]

Manual Extraction Mode has always worked for me when I couldn't open the file in Chopper XP, so it should work for you...

vstrip cuts vob files

[umair]

when i tried manual extraction mode it asked for the length of the video and when i gave the length it said it was wrong. is there someway i can find out the exact length its looking for? vstrip rips dvds. the vob is like 7mins long. its not from a dvd

[Jimmykicker]

Play the VOB with Power DVD...should give an approximate length...don't count on Chopper XP being too accurate though.....

[johns0]

with vstrip you put the length of vob you want by entering the start position of the lba and end of lba in input options,i was able to cut a vob the exact second i wanted.

johns0: and the vob was on your hard drive not on a dvd?

johns , how do you relate the LBA with a time ?
