vob as source in tmpgenc 2.59

[sebus]

Anybody tried it?
I did not test it fully, but managed to open ripped .vob in latest tmpegenc (after it complained about allnode.dll which I found somewhere on the net)

Yes I tried it, I've been unable to get TMPGEnc to work with d2v projects, so I tried this. It works but just for the vob that is loaded, it does not do the next one.

So one could join the vobs & then it will work for the whole film, right?

The answer to is simple RIP all the .vob’s as one big file. I do it all the time.................!

NTFS formatted hard drive required...!

Just wondered why on my machine Tmpegenc accepts the vob as source.

I tried it now on some other machine with PowerDVD 4 installed & Tmpegenc allows to choose .vob, but does not preview it or convert (it simply looks like it can not read it)

What makes Tmpegenc accpets & read vob files?

Just a few thoughts, the different behaviours could be caused by:
-differences between the computers Operating Systems
-how the software DVD programs registered the DVD codecs
-if any other DVD codecs / other DVD tools were installed on one machine but not the other
etc...

I am having a problem I don't understand. I use DVD Decrpyter to rip with stream processing on Video and Audio. I also tell it to rip to one big file. Thus I get 3 files. AC3, VOB and M2V.

I am currently using TMPGEnc Plus-2.59 (demo version), it will start to encode but when it gets to 100% the movie isnt done. I tried the VOB and M2V with files the same results. What went wrong? Did I not rip the whole movie, or is TMPGEnc Trial crippled (I thought it works for 30 days)? It definately looks to encode either VOB or M2V, I suspect I must not be ripping correctly, but I dont see how.

Thanks, Kilo

I just looked at a VOB and M2V, both ripped completely, something must be with TMPGEnc.

I know that there were quite few things (mostly codecs & hardware) different in the two machines.
This is why I would like to pinpoint the culprit of what causes it to work here & not there.

Nobody has any idea?

Can you install the same suite of DVD programs on the non-working system? That may help. Also you may be able to get some help by reporting this to the TMPGEnc developers, this may be a bug.

Could do with software, but in the system that works I also have a Sigme card. Could be this mabe

The newer versions of TMPGENC accepts input through directshow filters -- so if you've installed an MPEG-2 player (like PowerDVD or WinDVD) you have filters that will feed TMPGENC. That's why it now accepts it. Unfortunately the filter doesn't concatenate VOB files for you. You can do that by using the VFAPI capability of DVD2AVI with TMPGENC.

The other option (as mentioned above) is to merge all the VOBs into a single one.

One system with WinDVD filters & Sigma card = can read vobs with no problem
Second system with only PowerDVD = the video of same vob is black

The comments above are correct, but not helping at all
