alright, here's the deal.
I took a OFFICIAL US RELEASE OF NEON GENESIS VOLUME ONE BY ADV FILMS, and copied it to my PC with DVD Decrypter 3.5.1.0, without any problem whatsoever.
Now, when it came down to extracting the Audio/Video/Subtitles from the .vob files, things got really fucked up.
SubRip 1.7.1 will NOT work on my PC, i dont know if its because i installed Windows Service Pack 2 or not, but it just wont work.
so i've tried SubRip 1.6, and when i ripped the subs with it, the subs words came out fucked up. (examples, if there was a word "seperated", than it would comeout "sep ara ted", even though it showed as one 1 on the screen of SubRip)
So, the subs are already fucked.
When I tried to rip the Video and the 4 audios of the first episode, thats when things got REALLY FUCKED UP.
I tried using a bunch of dvd-ripping programs and dvd-audio ripping programs. but the problem was all the same.
When i tried DVDX, VirtualDubMOD, VirtualDub MPEG-2 1.5.6 to ripp the video out, even though the .vob file has 23:36 minuts of playing time, ANY AND EVERY DVD RIPPER I've tried (even though VirtualDub isnt a dvd-ripper, it does open .VOB files and i am able to select a different audio at a time by opening with one audio, saving as .wav and re-opening it, and save the video to .avi just once) only ripped 23:24 minuts of the video. the same thing with the audio. I tried Imtoo DVD Ripper and Imtoo DVD audio ripper, strangely enough, the audio and video did not match, even though the program was by the same company.
so now, i'm left with the VOB files on my HD, 3 + the one i'm going to rip soon, total of 4, standing there taking up space.
to understand this, look at this screen, i used DVDX to rip this.

as you can tell, the video is about at the same place, and yet, the times are way off.
if anyone can help me, please, it would be appreciated.
thanks in advance, peace to all.
