Running VPX 15.0.5.211. I have been asked by a paying client to "revise and re-edit" the content of a DVD of her family, so no copyright problems. The actual DVD was clearly created by means of the type of recorder which simply played the original VHS tape and burned it directly to DVD.
Extracting the .VOB files to my computer is no problem but VPX is "experiencing problems" when attempting to play these files. DVD Decrypter reports there is no encryption in use so I don't think that is the cause.
Essentially, taking one .VOB as an example, MediaInfo reports that file as follows. Notice especially its time length, 6 minutes 21 seconds.
However, when only that file is opened on the VPX timeline it is now nearly 1 hour 12 minutes!
Choosing to import it to the VPX timeline immediately triggers creation of a new frame table (since VOB is basically mpg, so such a step is expected).
Also, on playback, it seems that VPX is "adding" black frames, typically a group of 3 or 4 every second or so, thus disrupting viewing; I also opened the file in MEP Premium 17.0.2.166, with exactly the same results. Viewing the same file in Cyberlink PowerDVD 17 Ultimate, no black frames!
I would be very grateful for ANY advice on this. Clearly, because this is a client's file I am not at liberty to post it anywhere for others to test, unfortunately.
TIA
