VOB file won't play with MPEG2 codec

Okay, so I have a few DVDs I want to put into iPod format, and I followed the directions here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1081409&#1081409
The first DVD I tried worked perfectly, it plays on my iPod fine. Now the second DVD I tried, after ripping the VOB using DVD Decrypter, I opened the VOB in QT, and its only 8 minutes long. I'm 100% sure I ripped the right set of VOBs, in DVD Decrypter it says its 90 minutes long, and when I open the ripped VOB in PowerDVD it plays fine, all the way through. But it plays really weirdly QT, it does the first 4 minutes, then the last 4, then after watching the last 4 if you scroll back you get something in the middle...soooo any help getting QT to read this VOB correctly would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Could QT be reading only the first "chapter" of the DVD?
Go to the "File" menu and try opening the next chapter using QT.
It could also be an issue of "broken" time code (stamps) in the file. A look at the Movie Info window would show you what QT is trying to play.
If the "entire" file is being opened by QT and the MPEG-2 component (the movie info window shows 90 minutes) then the time code needs repair. A quick Google search should describe the issue and point your to some software that can "repair" the file.

  • After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

    I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

    I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
    I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
    and the 2nd one is:
    I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!  Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked.  The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
    On the system that has not been updated, go to:
    MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
    MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
    On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders.  Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location.  Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal.  This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up.  If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
    I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
    If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

  • Mov files won't play in Quicktime?

    Hi,
    I have to cut some footage with Final Cut Pro. I used an G5 for that which worked fine. But I have to change to a MacBook Pro with Intel Core2 Duo now, because the G5 is to slow.
    Sadly, the footage I have won't play with Quicktime and - of course - neither with Final Cut Pro on the Intel Mac. I just have the sound, but no video. Seems like a codec is missing. but when I download the codec it won't install because it seems to be already installed...
    I don't know how the footage was captured, I assume with FCP though... Info says: "Apple Intermediate Codec".
    I updated everything except "Compressor" because the update fails.
    I use MacOS 10.6.2 with my old FinalCut Pro HD 4.5 (Rosetta). I have Perian installed.
    What can I do?

    This is a quick time Codec problem... I want nothing to do with FinalCut...
    I have a series of videos from my wedding that I want to convert into some other format that can be edited in Premier.
    The videos open in quicktime, but only give me audio and no video. VLC will wont even play them saying
    "No suitable decoder module:
    VLC does not support the audio or video format "icod". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
    Any ways, I opened them up in quicktime and get the properties of the videos
    Video track - 27.58MB - Apple Intermediate Codec
    Sound track - 531.72KB - Integer (Little Endian)
    The file itself is 28MB, so I know the video is still in there somewhere.
    If someone could please tell me how to convert these, I would be greatly appreciated. These are the only videos of my wedding, so I really need them to be saved.
    Please email me if you might have any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • .3g2 files won't play in any media player

    Hello.
    Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
    Thanks.

    Did you try VLC?

  • Wav files won't play in Firefox 22

    Wav files won't play in Firefox 22. Previous versions of Firefox are fine. Other sound is fine. I have the latest mac OS X. Quicktime is set to play wav files. I have the latest version of it.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Is there any other plugins I can install which will play the wav files?

    Thank you for your response Alice.
    I checked about:plugins and I DO have audio/wav and audio/x-wav. It it QuickTime 7.7.1 I have.
    In Firefox Preferences Applications Panel I do not seem to have the iTunes.Document audio/x-wav there, only the audio/wav and Waveform Audio.
    Re the New Email Notification feature with my Webmail, this is not activated via a Firefox extension. I don't really know how it works but when I'm logged into my Webmail email account and a new email arrives, a wav sound is played to alert me of the new email. This has always happened with all previous versions of Firefox, just not since I updated to Firefox 22 but when I go back to Firefox 21, it works again.
    I have previously asked about this with my Webmail company. They knew nothing of this problem. I have now asked them for a second time now that I know that it is only THEIR wav sound that won't play. Other wav files play OK with Firefox 22.
    I do not know what is at fault - Firefox 22, QuickTime or the Webmail site but for the past few days I have frequently switched between Firefox 22 and Firefox 21. Each time the New Email Notification wav sound works with Firefox 21 and doesn't with Firefox 22 so that makes me suspect that somehow Firefox 22 is at fault.
    But it is a mystery and I might be stuck with it - unless it disappears as mysteriously as it arrived with a newer version of Firefox or maybe even a newer version of Quicktime.
    Thank you to everybody who has tried to help me.

  • Local files won't play on Windows 10

    All of my local files won't play in spotify in windows 10, please help....

    Hello:
    How did you encode the music files? If you used iTunes to rip the music with make sure you have Apple Quicktime player installed and/or check for an update for Quicktime player. Does you music files play in any other music player? Also try to uncheck all music sources log out of the Spotify desktop app and log back into the Spotify desktop app, add music sources back again into the Spotify desktop app and see if local music files play now.
    What Spotify desktop app version are you running?

  • Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

    Specs:
    iMac 10.8.5
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
    I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
    Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
    I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
    It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
    When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
    I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
    When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
    Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
    It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
    Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
    So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
    But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
    This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
    I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
    But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
    While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
    This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
    When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
    I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
    I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
    On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
    Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
    Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
    To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
    Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
    two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
    I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
    When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
    I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
    A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
    I deleted it immediately.
    Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username. 
    So I brought my mac back to the store.
    Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
    I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
    I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
    So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
    PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
    Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

  • PDF file won't open with double click

    Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
    Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
    Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
    Very frustrating!

    Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
    In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
    So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.
    ==========================
    OSX 10.8 - Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4

  • I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

    I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

    I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

  • MP4 files won't play in mobile browser?

    I have a media file, MP4, which plays fine on desktop browsers.  But on the iPhone4 and on Android 2.2 mobile devices this media file won't play within the browser.  I get a broken link where the embedded video should be playing.  I am using proper object/embed tags per a previous successful attempt I made doing this and I cross referenced my classid to one that was posted online to make sure I didn't miss any syntax.  What could be going wrong?  Did I encode the mp4 incorrectly?  If so, then why does a 3gp file that I rendered FROM the broken mp4 play within the mobile devices without a hitch?
    Sincerely,
    markerline

    Are you sure you have Photoshop Elements 8 and not Photoshop Premier elements 8?  I would have thought that MP4 files can be played in Premier elements (PE) rather than Photoshop elements (PSE).  PSE is for photos and PE is for movies and videos.
    Perhaps you could try installing the trial version of PE13 to see if anything changes.  I am not into movies and all that so my answer is just a guess work.
