Hi, I have been using Aiseesoft MP4 Converter for mac without any problems before. However, I am now trying to convert some VOB files from some DVDs to MPEG4 and the length/duration of the file comes out at 28 seconds, when in fact the movie is around 9 mins. long. This seems to be the case for all the DVDs I insert. I tried converting them anyway just to see if they would come out at the original length, but they come out at 28 seconds. Please let me know what I can do to rectify this problem.
That stupid Aiiesof has no love around these forums. Try loading the Video_TS.IFO, or Get a real, FREE MP4 converter like HandBrake: http://handbrake.fr/details.php
Then your DVD is not authored correctly or something...all the VOB files that I load show the correct time in HandBrake(I am not loading the entire DVD, just one of the VOB files).
I got someone to convert them from VHS videos to DVDs so it must be his mistake? Is there anything I could tell him to do differently? Thank you!
I am gonna look through the rips that I have and see if I find a problematic one, and look for the difference. You can try to use Vob2MPG and extract the video from the VOB to an mpeg file. There will not be any re-encoding done, it'll take a minute or two. The time index should be re-adjusted. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VOB2MPG
Now I remember why I couldn't use Handbrake: when trying to add a file, it says: This version of Handbrake is 64bit, VLC found but not 64 bit. Well, I went to the VLC site and they say that because of lack of developers they are not making a 64bit VLC. What to do?
