Hi Folks,

I've waited the five days since registering and have a submitted a DNA sample so now I can finally post ;)

I'm having trouble with Star Wars: Episode I but it's not the usual ones.

I have ripped main title keeping just 1 angle, AC3 and no subtiles (I know I know, I don't care) and completely rebuilt the vobs and fixed sectors blah blah blah so now I have a complient DVD structure and it plays fine from HD.

Obviously this is still too big so I want to transcode it to fit on 1 DVD-R. I tried ReMpeg but had lousy quality (same as Bandits) so I thought I'd try TMPG. To keep the AC3 I've used SmartRipper to demux and have a video stream that is complete and plays fine all the way through. The problem occurs when I run this through TMPG to resize. It take the usual eternity and registers 100% done but when I play it back it is only just over an hour long.

I'm running out of hair to pull out and would appreciate your views

Cheers

Maybe you should try to use .vob -> dvd2avi -> TMPG instead of directly feeding the vob to TMPG (which I suppose you did).
