Video File Shorter Than It Really Is in an Editor
I have a CD that my boss gave me that has some video on it in .vob format. There are 2 chapters on it. One of the chapters is like 10 minutes long when I watch it in VLC media player and when I watch it in Windows Media Player.
The problem is when I import the file into any video editor it only shows that the clip is 28 seconds long and actually only plays for the first 28 seconds. It does this in premiere pro, vegas, and windows movie maker.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi Ed,
Basically, Premiere isn’t indexing the file properly. Because your VOB files don’t really contain full frames (or very few), Premiere has to reconstruct them based on how it was encoded, and sometimes it fails.
VLC can convert the footage through streaming, although it is a fairly complicated process.
My advice would be getting a copy of TmpegEnc Xpress
The application has a built in wizard that will allow you to import the entire DVD and export to uncompressed.
