Just tried PGDemux and it creates split VOBs not a single one.
[CLOSED] Parsing some DVD
Re: Parsing some DVD
What do you mean by split VOBs and why is that a problem?
Re: Parsing some DVD
I don't know anything about PgcDemux. Anyway, isn't this all better suited for the other forum (THE in-place to be for everyone interested in DVD conversion )? manono et al will set you straight in no time.
Re: Parsing some DVD
This for video lenght discrepancy (intro logo at the beginning with DGIndexNV, not with MakeMKV):
This for subs:Guest 2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 4:47 amIt seems that some DVDs have some small addictional intro with brand logo: DGIndex keep them in count for video but not for audio or subs.
I have uploaded (I thank the day I had fiber at home) one of the problematic DVD (Ogni cosa è illuminata, Everything Is Illuminated in English): try to demux with DGIndex and with MakeMKV to notice difference in lenght from video and audio and the out of sync with audio and subs.
Guest 2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 4:13 pmI have found another issue with DGIndex when demuxing mkv created from DVD: it doesn't recreate correct idx/sub structures, while other matroska based GUI (such as gMKVExtractGUI), recreate the correct idx/sub couples of files.
If you want the complete procedure:
1) unpack the files I sent you
2) open VIDEO_TS from MakeMKV (in the MakeMKV forum there is a serial to unlock the program, if needed)
3) select movie only, with all audio tracks and subs
4) create MKV file
5) open with a player (I use MPC-BE) the IFO associated with the bigger files in DVD structure and look at the first sequence
6) do the same with the mkv file, you will notice they are different
To reproduce sub demuxing issue:
1) open mkv with DGIndex and demux everything (video not required)
2) open mkv with gMKVExtractGUI and demux everything (video not required)
3) look at the idx/sub: every sub MUST have an associated idx
Re: Parsing some DVD
Demuxing of DVD VOBSUBs was never implemented. I'll add it to my list (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=857&p=11015#p11015). There must be something people are doing because DGIndex/DGIndexNV are widely used for DVDs. You could ask about that at the other forum too.
I'll look deeper into your video issue.
Re: Parsing some DVD
I thought I answered the video question. OK, again.
I loaded VTS_1_01.VOB through VTS_1_04.vob into DGIndexNV. I set the end of the project to just after the last B&W credit scrolls off (before the spurious video at the end). Then I set to demux the video and the first AC3. I saved project. Then I muxed the demuxed video and audio into an MKV. The MKV plays in sync throughout and has no crap at the end.
As I said, the extra stuff at the end appears to be a ripping issue and this is not the forum for that. Looks like previews or something that should have been excluded when ripping.

Re: Parsing some DVD
Like Rocky said, inside DVD Decrypter, switch to IFO mode, make sure in program settings you turn of VOB splitting feature (splitting size = None), pick your PGC, select your chapters as required, and execute it to give you a nice and clean single VOB file.Guest 2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 4:30 pmCould you please elaborate the programs you use and how to do it?MeteorRain wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 4:27 pmOur "standard" way is to always extract per PGC VOBs from disks, with splitting option off, into directories before processing it. In other words, we never (and should never) directly import VOBs from DVDs, as size based splitting could cause issues, potentially.
I wrote a simple tutorial a few years ago, the screen shot is presented here. As you can see, within DVD Decrypter you can also optionally demux the audio in the same step.

All DVD are now gone for hell in thrash bin. I managed to solve the issue with a pass in MakeMKV.MeteorRain wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:46 pmLike Rocky said, inside DVD Decrypter, switch to IFO mode, make sure in program settings you turn of VOB splitting feature (splitting size = None), pick your PGC, select your chapters as required, and execute it to give you a nice and clean single VOB file.
Is there a way to demux elementary streams from saved VIDEO_TS folder?
Re: Parsing some DVD
I said many times DGIndexNV does not do ifo parsing. You can do it at rip time as explained or you can use another tool. Be happy!
Re: Parsing some DVD
Who gives a crap about DVDs anymore? People want to 'back up' their DVDs to HEVC or something to save space? Just save the ISOs and call it a day. Am I wrong?

Re: Parsing some DVD
That's exact reason why you should back up DVDs in ISOs and not a single VIDEO_TS folder.Guest 2 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 5:03 pmAll DVD are now gone for hell in thrash bin.

However it's not that hard to fire up ImgBurn and create an ISO from VIDEO_TS folder and then split VOBs from there.
