    Default Ripped DVDs - .VOB

    On my home network I have my my DVD collection which I have ripped. Upon ripping the DVD's they each created their own VIDEO_TS directory which contains their various .VOB, .IFO, and .BUP files. My problem / question is that Mezzmo sees each of these ,VOB files as a separate video. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

    At the moment Mezzmo can only play these individually, however we plan to support playing them as a single movie in a future update.

    I have been looking for a media server that will play vob files sequentially. I currently have a large dvd library ripped to disk and would like to preserve the original format so that I can convert to other formats in the future if needed. If there is an alternative solution to the vob files please let me know. I currently use iSkysoft DVD ripper for conversion.

    I have tried to create a playlist for a single movie but this still only plays the single vob file.

    I like what I have seen in your application and hope I can find a way to maintian a library that the media server software and conversion software can both utilize. Can you tell me when you may have this capability or an alternative to the vob files.

    You could either use a VOB join tool (search Google for one - there are quite a few available), or transcode your ripped DVDs into a new single file format (which would take less disk space, allow you to use only one file per movie, but would lose some video quality in the process).

    There quite a lot of tools to re-encode ripped DVDs. Personally I use MediaCoder which is free, however it isn't really aimed at novice users, so I can't recommend it unless you were already familiar with codecs, containers, etc... In that case, a commercial product that would be easier to use might be a better choice. Conceiva seem to have such a product - Dennis or someone else at Conceiva might be better positioned than me to tell you if that product could serve your needs (I have never tried it personally).

    RMerlin is right, basically at the moment the only way to watch VOB files as a single movie is to re-code them as a single file. We do have plans for a future version of Mezzmo to do this for you automatically, but I don't have an ETA on that.

    Regarding ConvertHQ (Conceiva's product), it will be discontinued, so I cannot recommend using it at this stage, as most probably it will not be updated.

    Hi Dennis,

    I just bought the program here in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I love it, but would also like the "DVD-folders-on-Hard Drive" streaming option added too. Any chance of getting that moved up the list? Please, man!

    Most likely this will come after the next major update (after burned-in subtitles are released), but it's still on our to-do list, so will see light of day someday... Sorry, that I can't be more specific.

    This thread along w/ the promise from Conceiva to add DVD folder playback was started over a year ago. It would be nice to see this feature someday. Thanks.

    If all you want to do is join the vob files into 1 file you can do it without buying/downloading more software. Open a dos window Start->Run->cmd
    go to the directory where the files are cd \directory (note you need to enter the directory where the file are) to join the files together the command would be:

    copy /b VTS_01_1.VOB+VTS_01_2.VOB+VTS_12_4.VOB moviename.vob

    You need to supply the vts names in the correct order and the names that disk uses. You can call the moviename.vob whatever you like. Doing this will suffer no loss of quality, but is not a real practical solution.

    There are better ways. I use a program call CloneDVDmobile it will allow me to do a VOB file passthrough. (That is what I just described with the copy.) But it puts them in the correct order and allows me to select language etc.
    But after playing with this stuff I learned that there is a timing signal inside the VOB. A dvd player ignores the signal so most movies only really care about the first chunk. After that they don't provide a good timing. A DLNA device
    will try to use that for FF/Rew. Opps most don't work. So I use a different program VideoRedo Plus to "Quickstream fix" the vob file. It converts it to a mpg and in the process repairs the timing signal so it works. (It also fixes
    the incorrect movie length problem.)
