    Hello,

    I have a large (4GB) VOB file of a movie which I wish to backup to the DivX format. I have imported this VOB file (which has AC3 sound) into Sony Vegas 7 and dragged it to the timeline. I can scrub through the whole movie (to the credits, everything) in the timeline. However the length of the movie is 1hr 27mins and on the timeline an incorrect length of 00:33:10;13 is shown. When I then go to convert this to DivX only half the movie is encoded!!. Can anybody tell me why this is happening and how to put it right?. The VOB file plays perfectly from start to finish in media players I have tried. I really need it so that it encodes the whole VOB file in the timeline?.

    Please help.

    Are you rendering just a loop region? Check whether the box is checked in the render as menu. Good luck, James

    I have set it to encode the whole loop region (with the loop region set to the current project), and tried with unchecking that box aswell, it made no difference, it only encoded some of the movie.

    I imported it into Vegas by changing the extension from VOB to mpg and it seem to import fine that way.

    “I imported it into Vegas by changing the extension from VOB to mpg and it seem to import fine that way.”

    Try File – Import – DVD Camcorder disc and see if that’s any better.
    A feature since 6.0c, BTW, and it works with full size DVDs as well.

    This is my point also. Give it a try.

    In the Import DVD Camcorder-menu, select the droopdown-buttom and choose “browse”.
