Dvdfab media player 2 featured banner1/15/2023 These can be sometimes encrypted and hence don’t always play on all media players in the market. VOB files are present in the DVD VIDEO_TS folder. These files are quite common and are a container for video files, audio files, subtitles and menu of a DVD. VOB file extension stands for Video Object file. (Also I happen to remember that there was something off about the enchanted Christmas disk when it came out years and years ago- if I remember it wouldn't play in certain dvd players - so is it just this is the 1:1,000,000 bad disk?)Part 1: How to Play VOB Files on Windows 10? So is streamclip better than VRD for this? Or will it also work on most things but then choke on a few so that I have to have both VRS and streamclip in my "arsenal"? I also noticed that streamclip seems like it can reencode in MP4 in case I want to shrink any files up and make them into protable files for kids nano's or my cell phone? So then I download streamclip as suggested at the pytivo forums and that worked perfectly and gave me the correct ~1:10 that the movie really is. But even then when I told it to do it's thing it still came up with the same 4 minute file of opening screen and then credits. So I did that and added all 4 and it thought it wzas going to make a ~1:05 minute file out of that (some how it decided that it didn't like 6 minutes- laughing). Then instead of "open dvd" I tried VRD's feature to add vob after vob manually. But when I try to get VRD to takes those 4 vobs and output a single mpg it insisted on making a single ~4 minute file that was basically the opening screen and then the closing credits. Plays fine in the dvd player software on my pc. Got the 4 vobs that made the whole ~1:10 movie. Then I used DVDFab to rip "beauty and the beast enchanted Christmas" to my PC. But it's still not simple yet- I hate this whole nonsense of copy protection (unfortunately I totally understand why the content owners need to use it…. So dvdfab to VRD seems to work most of the time. How can I tell which VTS/PGC thingies it is that I want? Any suggestions about my missing audio?Ĭlick to expand.Thanks- actually someone else pm'd me about using dvdfab instead of anydvd and I played around with that some and it seems to work fine on all my discs so far (although some of the more complicated disks it seems to "chew" on for some time before it is ready. So is this still a nightmare and requires piles of effort and i should wait anothre 3 years and try again? Or is there some simple way to get TV episodes and movies off a DVD? Videoredo either crashed, locked up, or more oddly it frequently said it processed ~58 frames and decided it was done and left me a file ~1026k. I tried some other longer time files and got similar results. I tried the item that videoredo thought was "the main title" but it choked. If I added up all the minutes it said than it was a magic DVD that held scores of hours of video. There were literally scores of vts/pgc thingies to pick from and there were only 4 episodes. Second I tried to use it on a Disc that had multiple episodes of a tv series- WOW- that's a mess. I would have just tried to playback the file on a computer to make sure the audio was in the file but videoredo then decided to lockup my pc (see below) and i got annoyed and moved on to something else. And then I went to transfer to my S3- video was perfect but there was no sound? I'm using tivo publisher on a Windows Home Server so it could be that, so maybe i'll go figure out pytivo and see if it can get the audio to transfer. Video redo seemed to work just fine to do a movie DVD- chewed it right up and spit it out where i told it to. I have no interest in the time and effort to reencode for the time being. So I went out and picked up a 2TB drive and got myself a videoredo trial and started playing. Also I do not tag episodic shows as that is too time consuming and I know I will watch them in order anyhow nad file name deals with that aspect It is automated in getting the text via searching netflix or TMDB but it is a one at a time process. I use meta-generator for TiVo and it finds all the movies I want complete info on for family. If I was archiving the movies to a more permanent movie server I would look into MP4 for file size. This 2 step (rip to drive then use VRD to change VOB to MPG) works for me since I do maybe 4 or 5 DVDs a week and do not archive the movies but watch and delete. Then I paid for VideoRedo because it is rock solid on mpeg2 for TiVo - have never had a transfer/viewing issue and all files transfer at least 2x real time with pyTiVo. IF I have an issuereading encryption or file structure then I switch to DVD fab free version and with some updates it has read every single disk I throw at it except for "Leatherheads" though I have not retried that one in a while. I use DVD shrink 3.2 (freeware) for a lot of DVDs since it makes the one.
