It Thinks My Video is Shorter Than It Actually Is
I’m trying to copy a (legal) DVD an edit some things out for a client. The DVD plays fine, and normally Premiere doesn’t give me such a hard time with this. There are 4 VOB files. The last 3 play fine in Premiere, but Premiere seems to think the first is only 13 seconds; it’s actually 33 minutes.
Is there a way I can get Premiere to recognize the true length of the video? If not in Premiere, how can I make it work externally?
Thanks ahead.

Hi James,
This is actually not that uncommon. It depends on how the DVD was encoded. One solution is to get a copy of an Mpeg converter. I like Tmpgenc’s Video Master Works, they have a DVD conversion wizard that pretty much achieves a perfect conversion to uncompressed in a couple of clicks. You could also try bringing them directly into Adobe Media Encoder, or After effects and see if you have better luck.
