Copying DVD - Video Truncating

[wdesigndeb]

I have used copy to rip a personal dvd (not a commercial dvd) to my computer as a vob file but it is truncating the last few seconds of the video. I'm using a Vista 64 bit system. Does anyone know how to solve this problem???

 

Thanks

…hope I explained it better. – Well, NO!

 

If a DVD Movie didn’t play in the first place it wasn’t a proper DVD Movie…

 

If the compilation you made doesn’t work right…

 

You see how it keeps going back to the source disc being the problem. Details about it???

You are probably right - I figure it has something to do with the compression on the original dvd. But strangely, the original source dvd plays fine in a couple of dvd players, but not in all. (especially a Sony). I should clarify that I did not burn the original source dvd on my computer. It was done by someone else on their system. The dvd was closed.

 

My Panasonic Blu-Ray will not read the original dvd either, but will read a copy I burned with MC10 - just the last few seconds are missing. The original source is all there on the original dvd, but when I use the copy feature of MC10, I'm not getting a full copy of the original source onto my hard drive - really strange.

 

I think I might try copying another dvd onto the hard drive just to see if it does the same thing.

Don't use the EMC 10 copy/import feature but simply use Windows Explorer to copy the Video_TS folder from the DVD to your hard drive. Then play that copy through Windows Media Player or some other software player to see if the video is all there.

BTW, a video DVD is always closed when burned. The make of DVD used could also be a problem, not all DVD players like all media

O.K. did what you asked. The video is all there when played on my computer. I think you are right - there must be something quirky about the dvd itself and the players.

 

Thanks again for your help,

You will have to explain a bit more how you are doing the rip. What program from the suite are you using? What do you want to do with the "ripped" video?

Thanks for your quick response.

 

I'm using the "copy and convert" program in Creator 10. The original dvd would not play in my blue-ray player, so I ripped it to the computer and burned a new copy using "myDVD". When I copied it to the computer using "copy and convert" it truncated the last few seconds of the original. It plays in the blue-ray minus those last few seconds. Hope I explained it better.
