I am not sure, but perhaps when merging the files together their time stamps are not properly adjusted, thus you get the first file's duration? Have you tried using DVDFab?

No, I don't have DVDFab - I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion
In the meantime, I have tried converting to .mkv with MakeMKV and also converting to mpeg with VOB2MPG. Both formats show the correct playing time and seem to play properly, so maybe I'll just stick with MKV
If your device supports MKVs natively, then that would be a better choice than VOBs.

I've noticed this, too, but the results are never repeateable. If I get a .vob file that appears messed up, I just reencode it with Ripbot264 to an .mp4 file and save the space anyway.
@smitbret - How long does it take you (on average) to reencode a DVD, and what kind of file size do you end up with - and what is the quality like?
I'm ripping to an MKV container in about 20 mins. I'm trying to figure out whether the extra time & effort involved in reencoding is worth the saving in disk space
I started doing this with Blu-ray using Handbrake, but at 6+ hours per film to get to 720p I couldn't really be bothered...
Thanks
The problem is that internal to the VOB the timing signal is messed up. It doesn't bother dvd players because they do not use it. (So the dvd makers don't care.)
To correct the problem get a piece of sw called VideoRedoPlus. You can get it at http://www.videoredo.com/en/ProductPlus.htm get the free trial version. When you run it you want to open your file and use tools->quickstreamfix
this will rewrite your file as an mpg and fix the time signal. It should take about 3-4 minutes to do a movie. I was impressed enough that I bought it for that one feature.
I can confirm that DVD fab has the same problem as DVD Shrink when using the "copy main movie" feature of DVD copy product. I expect the timing information is encoded in the actual stream - which DVD rippers don't actually modify (they just decrypt it). Is there no free product to fix this problem? (e.g. videoredo is the ONLY solution?)
