Rossy Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hi i have read the guides for the (oh hi to everyone sorry brains buzzing here) Burn VOB files to Dual Layer and i am guesing there are more than 1 VOB files? I have Star wars Video file HiDef in iether MPG or VOB 1 single file about 6.5gig am i right in saying this can not be writen with Layer breaks because its 1 file? reason i am asking is because when i ever i burn a dvd DL and play it on the PS3 it plays for so long then currupts is this the break in the layers? if so is there a way or do i have to convert the video fil in 2? thanks for any help Rossy
Cynthia Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, Rossy! VOB Splitter 0.2 can split VOB files. The issue might be that a stand alone player needs correct .ifo files also. It sounds as you only have one large .vob file and not any .ifo/.bup files? Normally the max size of a .vob is 1GB as that is the standard for stand alone players.
Rossy Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Hi thanks for the tip unfortunatly it didnt work My files wont burn properly on a Dual layer it keeps stopping on the PS3 even if i burn it as a Data disc as one big file it plays it perfect until it currupts all i want to do is burn it as a big file but am not sure i can
Cynthia Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Not sure I understand you. You get a burning error or a playback error? If it's the first - can you post the failed burn log? You'll find it here: Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs
Rossy Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Hi no everything burns fine its Just my PS3 that only plays half the film
Cynthia Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Can you play the burned disc on your regular computer without issues?
Rossy Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 yeah it does the ps3 will too if a fast search the film i thinks its the point telling the Laser pick up were to stop and carry on to the layer 2 thats faulty
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 make some IFO files for the vob using IfoEdit or something and then 'shrink' it to fit on a single layer disc. You'll lose some quality but at least it won't skip / corrupt.
Rossy Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Hi cheers for the advice but its a Hidef file i have the originals on DVD but these are 720hidef so kinda want to keep the quality cheers
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Ah not a true vob file then, you've just used that tool to fudge an mkv into one Can the ps3 play those files from a bdre too? It might be worth you investing in a bluray writer and using a 25gb disc where you then wouldn't run into 'layer' issues. If you must stick to using DL discs, make sure they're Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL ones (MKM-001-00 dye, made in Singapore).
Rossy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 you got it lol all i want is to play the film from start to finish
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Something my mate showed me earlier today that I though was pretty cool... WD TV HD Media Player - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=572 Combine that with a little WD 2.5" hdd and you're laughing.
Rossy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 Thats cool it supports External Drive Formats Supported FAT32, NTFS, HFS+ (no journaling) and thats cool if only PS3 would support NTFS as FAT32 dont let you put files over 4gig on it cheers for the link means i have a load of Dual Layer dvds going free lol
