View Full Version : Jetconverter and Vobs
Jet Converter does not seem to work from Vob files. I ripped an individual episode of a tv show, in the converter it shows up as a length of 7 minutes, even thou it's a 45 min show and the vob is complete, it only converts the same amount of time. Can the Converter not handle Vob's? It seems to work ok with other Avi's or MP4's
I don't have the D2 yet (waiting for the 4gb) but I've converted tons of video using the D2 presets in Jetaudio converter.
Vobs seem to be really problematic with jetaudio converter...I rip mostly from dvd's and some Vob files jetaudio converter handles perfectly and others it won't convert at all. I've yet to be able to figure out why this is.
Seems to be something in the vob's themselves... btw if someone knows why please let me know.
I've found out that if the vob has any skipping or freezes while playing it with jetaudio that that video won't work when you try to convert it with Jetaudio converter.
For the vobs that don't work I just convert them to avi's then use jet to convert them.
And from reading these forums people are using other programs (other than Jetuaudio) to convert videos for the D2.
Yeah I guess I'll stick with Clonemobile and Leave the Jetconverter to work on my MP4's that I need to convert and My AVi's which are 640x480. It's too bad because it does produce a nice output.
I would guess there is a drop out or signal disruption in the recording you made. I get this all the time with my digitial tv card on my pc.
That could cause JetAudio to stop at the point of the error.
I've tried 2 commercial DVDs do far. The first one encoded fine, the second failed very close to the start.
Both (together) would not load into my video editor either (it truncated it to the end of the first one) so I guess there is something not quite right near the start of the second dvd.
If this happens with commerical DVDs, we are going to struggle with home DVDs.
Slightly different issue with encoding I've seen ->
I tried to convert an MPEG file captured via my PC card (the card just copies the TV signal which is already MPEG), and while it didn't fail, it just seemed to go on an on. I stopped it once it had got past 700%.
When I played it, it really had made the expected file length 7 times as long as it should be, with the movie intact in the first 1/7th of the movie with the rest being encoded as a blank screen

Also try the other video converter tool. Can't remember it's name but it will convert the VOB to an XVID file but keeping the same resolution as the original. You would then convert that with JetAudio.
You would expect it to fail at the same point as JetAudio but worth a try.

not sure, but your issue may lie with the tasks your computer is running. I used to have a problem like this with my old (pre-c2d) pc. to fix it, i disconnected from ethernet, closed every program i could, stopped every service that was not vital, and set power options to "always on" with no screen saver. it stopped the hiccups - might be worth a try?

I can feed the Same Vob ripped with DVD Decryptor to AutoGK and it handles it perfectly.

Both utilites yielded the same result

It's not that the process is stopping the vob is getting read as being only seven seconds in length, it displays the time of the vob file in the line when you open it in Jetaudio, so it's reading it as seven secnds and encodes it as such. The same vob loaded into AutoGK or VirtualDubmod works fine

Have you tried converting using VirtualDubMod?
Let us know how you get on (I can only get the handheld xvid profile to work on the D2).

...My problem with vob's is a little different than your's...mine just randomly freeze and that when jet converter stops converting.
But in this I'm the same as you..Autogk, divx pro, avi.net all convert the vobs that the Jetaudio converter won't convert.
Also all those vobs that jetaudio won't convert I'm able to burn them to DVD's without a problem.
For some reason Jetaudio is picky about vob's but I don't know why.
Another thing of note...one of the vobs that jet wouldn't convert I extracted the audio portion with vobedit and just tried converting the video portion alone with jet and then it converted without a problem...ofcourse it had no audio.

Might be Jetaudio can't do AC3 which the Vob would contain.

I am having the same problem. I am really new to this, but I used DVD decrypter to get .vob files for two movies (104 minutes and 130 minutes, respectively). I checked them out on vlc player and the jetplayer and they are both complete but the run times listed for the vob files are 49m7s minutes and 62m43s. When I converted these with Jet I then got two avi files (49m7s and 62m43s) but they were both incomplete.
I used iriverter and it managed to convert the complete files but the synch issues were really bothersome (video ahead with fw 2.41 and audio ahead with 2.46). Jet's incomplete conversion was synched beautifully though. I guess I have to go Decrypter->Autogk->Jetconverter now.

akhan, I've found out another way of ripping from a DVD...
I use DVDFab Platinum and rip it to and ISO image instead of vob files.....Jetaudio converts the ISO images perfectly...
Thanks for the reply. Did you have to do anything to get jetaudio to convert the iso? I tried and it said it didnt recognize the file format. I saw an earlier post by MaxSt suggesting Fairuse; I used the free version to convert the iso and it came out pretty good.
I ripped a DVD with DVD Decrypter, then used JetAudio Plus VX to attempt conversion into XVid: it couldn't handle the ripped VOB format, though.
Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 fared a little better in this case, but I needed to install the XVid codec for encoding to that form of AVI, which then caused crashes and restarts in Windows when merely selecting slightly mangled .AVI files in Explorer views. I uninstalled the XVid codec from my system.
Then, I attempted to create an .ISO for JetAudio Plus VX to convert, but it only recognized and converted the first 24 minutes or so - this was equivalent to only one of the .VOB files in that .ISO.
However, WinMEnc freeware worked very well on the conversion to AVI format from ripped VOB, and didn't require a separate codec installation - it came with everything I needed. It also has an option to rip and convert in the same overall run, which I have yet to try.

hmmm that's strange akhan... no I didn't have to do anything to get jetaudio to convert it at least not that I'm aware of...jetaudio recognized it for me...I have to admit I was surprised it did though...but I've done it many times and
it works perfectly for me...I have jetaudio plus vx...but I don't think that would make a difference...
When you click on "add files" in the jetaudio converter window and then the window pops up for you to choose a file...at the bottom of that window there's a spot where it say "files of type" make sure you have "all video files" chosen.............I'm sure you do but I know I made that mistake once..
Wish I could be of more help..
