665346 2008-05-03 06:01:00 Yello, I have a disc with 3 movies on it, when the disc is played in a media player, all the movies play.
When I've encoded one particular movie to mpeg 2, the first chapter is missing and when i open the disc in Explorer and play the VOB file from in there , the first chapter is missing also, anyone have any clues about whats going on?
Cheers

665347 2008-05-03 06:31:00 It may just be the program you are using for etracting your original movies may be missing parts of it.

Have a look at This thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) Number 8, try using VLC Player ( free) follow the instructions carefully on the site. That may or may not help you ??

665348 2008-05-05 01:32:00 thanks wainuitech downloaded VLC,but the encoding still misses the first chapter.

665349 2008-05-05 02:07:00 When using VLC does it give you any other sections to select apart from the main movie. wainuitech (129)
665350 2008-05-05 03:25:00 you can select the titles and chapters then check that the selection is the correct choice before starting the process Whenu (9358)
665351 2008-05-05 03:34:00 are the ifo & buf files suppossed to be selected as well? Whenu (9358)
665352 2008-05-05 03:39:00 I may have worded my question wrong - What I should have said was when you open your DVD, does it give any other sections -----

I found that once when I altered a DVD A friend had made ( last week), it missed part of the ending, and it was actually one of the other available sections that for some reason was not included in the main capture .

Then the next one he asked me to change ( this weekend) was only 1 vob file, the whole structure was :waughh:

Are you able to preview/locate the missing first section or Does it actually show as being there in the main section of the recording .

I followed the instructions on that site and it went OK, apart from I had to join in later the missing end as a separate file .

To answer your question 6 -The IFO file actually contains the movie info, but the instruction don't mention any of that . Normally if ripping a DVD you do select it . I have only used VLC a couple of times for recoding, so Not fully up to spec on all its ins and outs
