Select VOB files are weird...

[Lord Mythirion]

Ok, so I've been trying to rip a DVD onto my computer. I get all the VOB's fine, and some are in different languages (but I take care of that by removing the non-english tracks). I just change the extension on them, to .mpg, and most of them work. However, every time there is one or more VOB files that can't play in a media player aside from VLC Player, and in movie maker it's seen as 26 hours. Any ideas why this is happening?

What are you using to rip?

A VOB is an MPEG2, right? try changing the extention to .mpeg2 instead. It might be trying to use a different codec (i.e. the MPEG4 codec)

I KNOW!!! I try put them together and there's like 1 or 2 out of 8 that prevents me from doing it. I get soo frustrated

What are you using to rip?

DVD decrypter. dvd shrink i tried reauthoring it, but then it came out in spanish and half the files didn't work.

Before I help, what kinda DVDs are you ripping?

right now, transformers. I've been trying to make a music video, but those few files prevented me from doing it. The best scenes somehow ended up in the ones that won't convert...
