DVD - wrong number/size of tracks

[Andrue]

I'm trying to get a better rip of a DVD I ripped a couple of years ago. For some reason instead of showing as three half hour tracks+sundry it's showing as a single 1.5 hour track+sundry. I've tried disabling/enabling Path Player but it makes no difference.

What else can I try?

I'm using VOB pass through. Tried with 8.0.6 and upgraded to 8.1.2.0 this morning. Logs attached:

Is this a TV episode disc?

Is this a TV episode disc?

Yes, it is. I just realised that it's possible the first time I ripped it that I didn't use VOB pass through. That would explain the quality. It was one of the first DVDs I ripped and I probably used the option that limits the output size.

Updated:I've removed all but the two most recent sessions from the log files.

It is possible that you compressed it excessively, but this is unrelated to the problem of not being able to get individual episodes broken out. I think what happened with that is that in the original rip you may have selected the "Play All" VTS if the original disc has one, i.e. a menu option that plays all the episodes, one after the other will produce a VOB that has all of them all in it with VOB Passthrough. You may still be able to select individual episodes using the Title start/End controls, which you can access with the button under the title list window. You will need to know the chapter numbers for each episode and re-process the disc or folder.

I've just tried the other discs in the set and interestingly they are fine and all show multiple half-hour episodes. That must mean it's something odd about the first disc. I'll have to check out the chapters as another way to work it. Unfortunately there's 19 which doesn't divide by three very well so presumably they'll need manual inspection. A job for a rainy afternoon perhaps
