VOBInput.dll truncates audio...

[880]

I tried to decode Dolby Digital audio from AC3 in a VOB file to PCM WAV (also convert 5.1 down to stereo). I found that when I used VOBInput.dll (version 1.3.0.0) it stopped encoding six minutes before the audio ended.

Then I demuxed the AC3 with VobEdit, and used just the AC3 with BeSweet. That worked fine. Both logs are below.

These soft are abandoned (BeSweet and the bugreport in http://www.dvd2svcd.org/ for VOBInput.dll don't work), use DGIndex to extract ac3 (or also decoded wav with or without downmix) from VOB files.
