Strange thing when merging VOB files

[Codex0nz]

Hey there, im Codex, new to this site

I've been having problems when ripping an anime dvd, the episode when ripped, says its ripped fine using dvd decryptor, but its missing 8 minutes from the episode, 8 random minutes, not like a chapter or anything

So i went insearch of an alternative program to rip the episode, came across DVDFab Platinum, and used it to rip the chapters desired, ripped it fine into 2 files:

VTS_01_1.VOB 1,048,574kb
VTS_01_2.VOB 137,476kb

i played both through vlc media player, nothing was missing from either, so of course i thought, sweet, thats sorted, then i merged them in the command prompt creating a movie.vob file (sized at 1,186,050kb which seemed to be the right size roughly). when i played back the merged vob file, yet again it was missing alot of the episode, episode length should be 24 minutes, the merged file plays back 16 minutes, so now im completely stumped as to why its doing this

Can anybody please help me? What have i missed? what am i doing wrong?

Oh and also the dvd is Trigun, dvd 7, released by madman

Any help is appreciated thank you :)

Try merging the vobs using DGindex and see if that solves your problem. Or, just choose "no file split" in the options for dvddecryptor.

the no split option creates a correct file size for the video, but the video its self is missing the 8 minutes or so still in dvd decryptor

how do i merge files using dgindex?


thank you for the response :)

Just click "Open" in dgindex, and then click "add" to add your vobs in order. You can then save a project and open it with avisynth to encode. Or if you really want it to be a vob, just select "Save project and demux video", and then a .m2v file and a .ac3 file should be in your output directory which you can mux back into a vob.
