Joining the VOBs gives me anywhere from 0ms at the beginning to 2400ms of skew at the end and trying to figure out how much by trial and error for each cut I make is very time consuming. Like Lordsmurf stated, I'm trying to get a seamless VOB file that I can cut wherever I have to (in Virtualdub) without having sync issues. I'm taking the day off tomorrow for a Dr appointment but will give it a try on Wednesday. Looks like DVDShrink can also create a single VOB. I can only assume that DVDDecrypter isn't completely compatible with 64bit XP since it hasn't been updated in years but it could be a problem with the way that the Philips is burning the rewritables and Decrypter is having problems reading them. Was hoping to find a comparible program that didn't have the problem I'm havibg on his machine. The DVDDecrypter IFO mode way is the simplest way and avoids sync issues. If you are referring to DVDFabDecrypterHD, how do you do that? I can't see any way to get DVDFabDecrypterHD to save one single VOB file.ĮDIT: I used both VOB2MPG and VOBMerge and I get sync issues when joining seperate VOBs. I've only noticed it twice but since I did not create the discs, I don't know for sure how many times it has failed to create a complete VOB. I haven't tried with store bought DVDs and it doesn't do it with all the rewritables. This is happening with the rewritable discs he is creating with the Philips recorder. It's creating one single VOB but it does not always put all the data off the DVD in that one VOB. If you are referring to DVD Decrypter, that's how I have it set up. DVDFabDecrypter works fine but it doesn't create one single VOB and we keep running into sync issues when we join the VOBs. Not sure what is causing this to happen but would like to find an alternative to DVD Decrypter. DVD Decrypter is leaving out the first gigabyte of data on some of the discs (don't know how much data he's lost since we've been doing this for over two weeks). He knew that part of the video was at the beginning of the disc but again, it was missing from the VOB. Everything seemed to be going smooth but the other day, we were looking for something in the VOB and it was not there but when we put the DVD back in the drive, the part we were looking for was at the beginning of the disc. I'm converting all the video off my friends COX DVR to DivX and am using DVD Decrypter in IFO mode to keep the audio and video in sync from the DVD-RWs he's creating from the Philips 3576 he has connected to the COC box.
