I'm trying to convert a Video_TS folder to a DivX AVI using Toast. When I drag the TS folder into the Toast window (DivX option), it rejects some of the files, but not the VOBs. However, only one VOB is shown and when I preview it, only 1 hour 40 minutes of the movie (which is 2 hours 20 minutes) is shown. So, obviously, when I convert the Video_TS file, my DivX file will be incomplete.

How can I get Toast to recognize the entire movie in order to produce a single, seamless DivX AVI?

Place the VIDEO_TS folder on the desktop or in your Movies folder. Then open the Media Browser and choose DVD with the top button. You should see the name of the movie appear in the lower window. Go down one level with the lower button to see the titles that are in the VIDEO_TS folder. Select the title you want and drag it to the Video window. Toast will extract the MPEG from that VOB title set. Now you can convert the MPEG to Divx.

I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!
