No Picture when Merging

[Rhino1116]

I have been trying to merge two DVD9 CDs into a single DVD9 using the Merge process. Both the DVD9s have been burned to the hard drive and trying to create a single DVD9 on the hard drive. When I merge the two parts into a single DVD9, it seems to work...I get a single DVD9, and it plays. But when the first part is over and it moves on to the second part, the audio will continue, but I get no picture.

The movie is Apocolypse Now. The first DVD9 is 1hr 39min and the second DVD9 is 1hr 42mins. When the time reaches 1hr 40min the picture will fade to black and the audio will continue playing, but the picture never returns. The funny thing is that when I play the individual VOB files, it plays the second part fine.

Part one contains VTS_01_1 thru VTS_01_4 and the second part contains VTS_02_1 thru VTS_02_4. When I select any of the VTS_02_x VOB files individually I get both audio and video.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rhino1116
When playing your files on your HDD, never play the VOB files , always play the Video TS file itself.
Also please post your logs the default location is:
For Win7 C:\Users\User Name\My Documents\DVDFab\Log
or Vista C:\Users\User Name\Documents\DVDFab\Log
or for XP C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\DVDFab\Log
Please use attachment button and attach your most recent, Internal and Burn log(s) and post right here.

Rhino1116,
it seems your player don't want to read info file right. What player are you using? Try Media Player Classic. You can find it here, it's free. http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

I have confirmed that I can play the merged file (both parts - audio and video) with Windows Media Player when I select the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. However, when I try to use Windows Media Center (which is my primary method, since I use my XBOX to watch movies), it will not play video on the second part. So this may be a flaw with WMC and not DVDFab since I can watch the entire movie using a different player.
