Ok, I am having this terrible problem. All of a sudden, DVD2AVI only will open the first vob and will refuse to open anymore so when creating d2v projects only the first vob will be added. This is really strange because just last week I created d2v files with the same vobs and it worked, however they wouldn't seek properly. So I decided to create them again and now it won't work. This isn't on just one dvd this is on all the dvds I have tried so it certainly isn't a problem with these certain vobs. Opening them manually in dvd2avi doesn't work either. I figured that maybe I would be smart and use Nic's MpegDecoder for avisynth to create the d2v this too has the same problem. Please help, this is terribly frustrating.

I don't suppose you have a different file extension? Some version of DVD2AVI have had problems finding multiple files when the file type was only 2 chars.

Grrr. Just figured out what is wrong but I have absolutely no idea what cased it. All of the vobs except the first one are 0 bytes, ie they are all just dummy files :devil: :devil: :devil:. This was not the way it was before there were all real files before, one of these programs must have erased all of the rest of them and just left all the names, cute :devil:. I should have checked this first before posting but it never occurred to me. I don't know which of my programs that I was using to process them did this though, unfortunately. I would like very very much to find that offending program. It must have been a very common program though since I had several dvd on the hd and all of them are like this now, :(
