My first post so I hope it's in the right area. I am having trouble making a dvd9 from a double sided disc. I have tried many different ways to join the vobs and create the dvd9 with dvd-lab. The dvd is fine except for the timestamps during the last 2 chapters. The last 2 chapters should start at 1hr 36 mins and 1hr 56mins. However they are starting at the right place but the timestamps read 1hr 11 mins and 1hr 36 mins. This only occurs on my stand alone dvd players. All dvd software players on my pc play it all correctly. I have tried joining the vobs with videoredo and saving as vob as well as mpeg and same results. Tried running them through quick stream fix. Same results. Tried joining them by demuxing with dgindex, same results. Tried joining with vobedit and then authoring with ifoedit and then creating dvd with dvd-lab and got the same results. Tried authoring a dvd with tsunami dvd author and then dvd-lab and got the same results. Also have tried running the m2v through restream and still get the same results. I also have tried reencoding the joined vob before authoring with dvd-lab using procoder 2 and tmpgenc. Got same results. Oddly enough If i compress the dvd9 with dvd shrink or dvd rebuilder and cce the dvd5 comes out prefect. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Welcome BobVila

One more thing you can try: rebuild the time maps with PgcEdit http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html. Open the DVD on hard drive in PgcEdit, select the PGC with your movie, go to menu Title > Rebuild time maps of current VTS. Will take a few minutes. Usually works for me but only if VOB IDs in the PGC are in order 1, 2, 3,... You wouldn't want them to be out of order anyway to avoid non-seamless joints.

While at it, just for a case you can also try to run it through VobBlanker http://download.videohelp.com/jsoto/ choosing options Process Titles, Process All, and More Options > Fix Always VOB pointers in titles.

Well I tried doing those 2 things and it didn't seem to help. I really don't understand why this is happening.
