VOBs - Second Title Wont Play from Root Menu - ifo issue?

[ash4178]

Complete newbie at playing around with ifo settings and VOB video structure. I have several videos where the second title cannot be played from the menu. The files I have include the VIDEO_TS file, VTS_01_0, VTS_01_1... all the way through to VTS_01_5, the full video is contained within these 5. There are no VTS_02 files. Should there be for a menu with two title sets? Selecting the first title from the menu runs to about halfway through VTS_01_3 and then the video cuts off. Second title, once selected, cuts off completely; it doesn't play at all. When playing VTS_01_3 on its own, not in the VIDEO_TS folder, it plays to the point where the second title set should begin and cuts off. If anyone thinks this can be resolved at all I would appreciate any advice you could give, or should I resign myself to files that can't be salvaged?

Try converting with MakeMKV. If the DVD is not corrupted then you should get all the titles OK.
Edit: Also try playing the video with PotPlayer.
You didn't say which video player you are using, but I am assuming it is VLC?

Ok thanks I will try converting it and give PotPlayer a go. Yes I have been using VLC. I have also tried burning it to disc and the problem persists on the DVD as well as on VLC. The end goal is to get a copy that is playable on DVD.

It is possible that some of the files are corrupted. You should play only the large files with about 1000M and the last one which should be less than 1000M. The TS file is for the menu I think. VLC will not open it correctly but PotPlayer can.

You could open VTS_01_3.VOB with clever Ffmpeg-GUI and remux it to mkv.
Maybe the mkv then plays the whole part.

Give FixVTS a try.

Thanks so much for all the replies! I'm going to try all of the above and see if anything works. I was hoping it was just the ifo that needed tweaking using either ifoedit or pgcedit, but I'm not well versed enough in what the coding should look like.
