View Full Version : dvd2svcd vob selection problem

I was trying to encode only a few vobs (chapters) for which I have the correct ifo file. I was just using vobs from the middle of the movie. I Had the IFO and only those VOBS in a Folder, and was not reripping

First dvd2svcd tells me it can't find the vobs, I have to add them manually. I do that with the automatic popup menu.

When I start encoding, dvd2avi starts but doesn't do a thing, since the command line for dvd2avi does not contain any vobs.

I then renumbered all vobs to 1,2,3... and then it worked... without adding them in that menu??

I would kindly suggest that perhaps it would be helpfull if dvd2svcd would just search for suitable vobs in ascending numerical order, perhaps after giving a warning:
Some VOBS missing, proceed anyway?

Or is there a problem in the adding menu? Why didn't it add the vobs?

Thanks for this superior Bundle

It takes the filename of your ifo, delete the last two characters and the extension, add '_1.vob' and searches for a file with the resulting name.

'VTS_01_1.IFO' becomes first 'VTS01' and after this 'VTS01_1.VOB'.
So it searches always at the first vob.

I had some time ago the same problem and iI also only could solve it by renaming the VOBs.
