I am trying to fit Mulholland Drive onto one CD. First thing of all, I demuxed the VOBs using VobEdit. This gave me, among all, a file VTS_07_1.m2v, 6+ GB long. I am trying to clout it down to ~3.8GB.

When I load this file into Canopus Procoder or Windows Media Player, both report the length of 1:25:26. This is not correct, as the true length of the movie is 2:26:51. Both programs apparently position correctly when I move the slider to near the end of the movie - there are the end titles. However, when I encode it usinf ProCoder, only the first true and real 1:25:26 of the movie are encoded, and not the rest.

Also, both programs think that the file is 4:3, while it is 16:9 really.

I assume that VobEdit writes some incorrect header values to the m2v file. Is there any tool that would let me to correct these manually? Any alternative tool to pull out a contiguous m2v stream out of a VOB set?

Thanks!

Thanks! Smartripper is really smarter - it saved an m2v file that made ProCoder happy. Could make it off the HD too. :)
