Thank you for the trick and for making the file, I learnt a lot from it. I actually never used Text on path before. I had no time as the project had to be finished in short time. So I used Cinema4D to create this kind of animation.

Text on path is a hell of useful tool, especially by creating custom font you can achieve great results. Will be playing around with it. Thank you once again.

Thank you very much for the answer. Googling and watching some tuts brought me to similar solutions. I thought there would be a simpler solution. Maybe using some plugins. Anyway, will try these methods to accomplish the task.

So I am stuck. I tried to play this vob file on another laptop with Windows on VLC as well as Windows Media Player and it plays fine to the end. Why won’t my VLC play it to the end and cuts about a second or 2 in the end??? Some mystery.

Ok then I will try some other players for mac os xthat can play vob’s. Anyway I have another question. Why does VLC (on mac and pc) shows in the media info panel that the video is 50 FPS and in the timeline it shows that it is about 9 sec long when it’ real duration is 15 sec and 18 frames. And in the Windows Media Player it shows just fine and the fps is corect in the info panel but in the timeline when video playes it doesn’t show duration at all…it’ 00:00. I am going crazy

First of all thank you for the answer.
I have only the 1st Chapter marker at the beginning of the timeline. I believe it appears as standard.
I have no devisions (I think so, as I said this is the first time I use Encore). I tried other VOB files but they won’t play.

Maybe it has something to do with FPS? Why when I check Media Info in VLC it tells me that this VOB files is 50 fps? I choose PAL 25 fps.

And one more question. If I happen to find the rest 1 or 2 second of the video in other VOB file. How can I then merge them into one single VOB?

Thanks in advance.

Well, in RAM preview it looks good. So I suppose it is playback problem. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the video card and will update the K-Lite codecs pack. Hope it helps. I will write back.
Thank you for your attention and help.

One more question. I read a lot that AE built-in video compression is terrible. And ewveryone says that it’s better to render from AE without compression and than use another program to compress. I wanted to ask if Adobe Media Encoder a good tool for this? Should I render from AE in QuickTime (Animation codec) and then use Adobe Media Encoder to compress it to let’s say QuickTime H.264?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, beyond doubt. I checked it twice. I even created 1080p 27,97 fps composition and then changed the sequence fps from 30 to 27,97, ut the result is the same. I also thought that maybe my notebook is too weak even for 960by540 QuickTime so I compressed it using mp4 and h.264 codecs but still the playback was perfect except for the animation imported from 3dsmax (it is still a bit jumpy).
