Virtual Dubb with MPEG2 Plugin question

[weaver4]

Can you load multiple VOB files using the MPEG2 plugin or do need to use VOBMerge First?

Get the latest version of VirtualDub (http://virtualdub.org/) and the MPEG-2 Plugin (http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/~fcchandler/Plugins/MPEG2/index.html), then it will work! Just check "Ask for extended options after this dialog" in the Open dialog and enable "Open multiple files as one virtual file" in the next dialog. Tada :)

I saw that; the problem that I have is that first dialog does not let you select multiple files. Once you select "Open multiple files as one virtual file" you get a new dialog box that lets you add files but that dialog will not allow you to add multiple files either. I guess you could add each vob one at a time, but thats seems a little silly.

So I guess my big problem is how to select multiple files with this setup. I am VD 1.7.6 and 1.9 of the plugin.

I don't understand your problem :confused:

The "Open multiple files as one virtual file" option does exactly what the name implies: In the next dialog you can add all the MPEG/VOB files you want to open. Those files will be merged and opened as they were one big file. So obviously you can open multiple MPEG/VOB files.

What else do you want to do?

My complaint is pretty trivial actually. If you have a video that you are trying to backup it may exist in 12 or more vob files. So on the dialog box you are show above if you click the "Add..." button another dialog box pops up but that dialog box does not let you add multiple files. So you must click on the "Add..." button and repeat the process 11 times to add the additional files.

I thought I was doing something wrong.

Let me explain it this way... It was something I tossed together real quickly one night to hush some people up. ;)

I realize there's a lot of clicking involved, and I do plan to improve that one of these days. Right now I'm rather busy with my other plugin for WMV, so the MPEG-2 one is on hold.

Thanks for your efforts :)
Is there hope we will get proper A/V sync with VFR ASF/WMV files?

I may have found a solution for VFR, but I'm still testing it. If you'd like to test the VFR fix, there is a current build in the repro.zip I posted today in the 1.7.X test thread.

Excellent work :cool:

BTW: What kind of sample video is that? :eek:
