Open multiple vobs.

[junglemike]

Hi everyone. Sorry if this question had alredy been asked. I could find the answer.
Ok, so , IIRC, VDMOD has mpeg-2 native support. And indeed i really can open any VOB file ripped off DVD by dvd dectiptor.
But i can open only one vob, while one movie is usually splitted to 3 or more vobs. I also can't append another vob for some reason (like i can with avi). So is there any way of opening whole movie directly With VDMod.
p.s i know tht i can use dvd2avi and then GK or vfapi wrapper. But thi is way too long. And it is not sutable for my purposes (I'm encoding for palm). So can i do it?
Thanks in advace.

something like this:

directshowsource("path to\vts_01_1.vob")+directshowsource("path to\vts_01_2.vob")+ and so on

in notepad, save with .avs extension,load the avs in vdm, that ought to do it. Though there has to be nicer ways to do it, I haven't been paying too much attention in class :D

you should use DVD2AVI with AVIsynth as frameserver. VDubMod's MPEG2 decoding is b0rked. timestamps do not get interpreted correctly. you cannot append VOBs or any other MPEG1/2 stream with VD(M)

i dont see what encoding to palm has to do with this though... you dont really need GK

Thanks for the replys. I will try that.

nice tip stephan, I only loaded a set of vobs I had lying around to see would it work, and this particular set showed correct timestamps.I've no idea why I would be tempted to use this method, but it's handy to know it isn't reliable :)

Uh - he was talking about opening VOBs directly in VirtualDubMod; your solution using DirectShowSource is using a DirectShow MPEG2 filter (which not everybody has installed) via AviSynth, which is another can of worms entirely that's got it's own problems. Using DGDecode/MPEG2Dec is the most accurate way to do it.

It certainly is, and I've never done it any other way, proven by my ignorance on the subject.
All the same, it is a good tip. ;)

also ProjectX can be used for multi-vobs preliminary editing/processing

ehm...
i'm a newbie

can you write a "step by step" guide to load multiple vobs?
i have to load 4 vobs in virtualdubmod

VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB

so to create only one big "avi" file.

what have i to do "step by step"?

thank you

What's wrong with appending the videos one by one?

use DVD2AVIT3 and having this names and adding the first file the rest will be added automaticly, or add them all to ProjectX /by drag and drop/ keeping correct oder of files.
