View Full Version : Failed to open file xxxxxxx.vob

I have created all the required files thru Womble Mpeg Video Wizard and they come out too large for type 9 dvd (9.5GB).
I then tried compressing them down using dvdshrink 3.2 with the error message:
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
Failed to open file "C:\a\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_9.VOB"

This file is there and in fact there is a VTS_01_10.VOB also there.

What could be the problem and how to get around it.

The Womble people just tell me that about 8.5GB is the limit for type 9 discs and that some programs crash out because
there are too many vob files, however surely dvdshrink can compress larger than 8.5.

Many thanks in advance

Try processing the files through VobBlanker.

Hi!

The highest .VOB number allowable is 9.

Join the last two .VOBs...
