This is an odd question and I don't know if there is a solution. I'm attempting to burn files from a pre-authored DVD my brother recorded (.VOB files) using Express Burn by NCH Software. I have had to do this using the "re-author" option. There are five files, four of which display "normal" time lengths and one that is showing up as being "0:-26:-50.-2" in length (instead of, for example, 0:26:50.2). I have played the DVD on my DVD/TV at home and it plays normally; it's also fine when I use DVD viewing software on my PC. However, when played on my PC using Express Burn, the video plays like it's in fast-forward, but the audio is normal. Burning a new DVD using these files has proved impossible, and I am guessing it is because of the wacky negative-time file. I can't determine whether it is Express Burn that is doing something weird to the file, or if the problem exists with the file itself. Any suggestions???
