Does the VOB file play in your PC's DVD player software? I can open VOB files in WinDVD. Yours looks pretty funny... as does your log... which is incomplete. But according to what's there, your source video is -1 pixel x -1 pixel... which is VERY small (I'm being facetious).

[WHAT IS A VOB FILE?? when i put the dvd in the d drive, everything starts fine!!! how much of the console log do i have to copy??

That's the VOB file you are attempting to analyze with MediaInfo. It's the native video file format on DVDs. I don't want you to open the file off a DVD... I want you to open that file on your hard drive. THAT'S the one you are encoding.

How much log? About this much... till you see frames starting to process... Sometimes the end of the log is needed as well.. after all the frames have been processed. If you see errors IN the frame processing... THAT info can be helpful.

i also just realized the file is only playing audio in quicktime also!!

My curiosity with your file is that it seems to be virtually nonexistant.

Your length is -1 seconds, your width is -1 pixel, your height is -1 pixel, your framerate is -1 fps and your aspect ratio is -1! This shouldn't be the case. It's like the file almost doesn't even exist in a weird sort of way. Where did it come from? What did you use to rip it from a DVD to your hard drive? You ARE encoding a file from your hard drive... the path to the file is highlighted in green above.

Here are the specs from a VOB I ripped to my hard drive from the 1st Star Wars movie...

i put the dvd into my d drive and used the decrypter that was available off of videora!! i then followed the step by step instructions on how to decrypt a file!

[Midiman]

Videora won't decrypt most DVDs as far as I know. To remove pesky things like CSS encryption and Macrovision you need something like DVD Decrypter. Even that won't successfully rip ALL DVDs to your hard drive. There are some discs that have had extra, special copy protection schemes applied to them. That is why I suggested playing the ripped VOB file in your PC's software based DVD Player program to see if it has been properly ripped. DVD Decrypter has, incidentally, just gone out of production. The movie industry finally "got to" it's author and he has shut down his development and distribution of the program... which used to be free.

[migrena]

dvd decrypter author is working now for the movie industry, but that doesnt stop his software to be one of the most used programs in the world :D
the additional copyprotection that dvd decrypter cannot handle very well is arcos, and you will now if its present when you will get a lot errors in dvd decrypter saying "blablabla inserting dummy blablabla", afaik dvdfab decrypter can handle arcos protected disc

[charity]

i dont understand the lingo here! i didnt use videora as a decrypter. i used a decrypter that was available for download off of the videora website. when i go to the help section details on the decrypter, its says DVD DECRYPTER coded by LIGHTNING UK!! is there anything i can do to fix the problem? do i need a different decrypter?

[Midiman]

Have you tried a different DVD?

[charity]

i have tried two different DVD's. Both transferred (and I tried several times) without picture, only audio. Am I building a mystery here?

[Midiman]

I'm really not sure... but, by different, I mean REALLY different. Not Star Wars I and Star Wars II.

[Sketch]

OK, when you run video DVD Decrypter, there should be a huge file on your hard drive (the .VOB file that Midiman mentioned before). This is essentially your DVD file copied to your hard drive with the DVD removed.

Can you play DVDs on your PC. If so, can you play this huge file on your hard drive with the same software? If so, do you get video?

[charity]

midiman... yes (LOL) the dvds i tried were hitch and the departed!!


sketch... i can play dvds in my d drive just fine! its only when i convert them to i tunes i am getting this problem. again, no picture, audio only!!

[Sketch]

But what about the files on your F drive (which is a hard drive, right)? Do those play with video?
