rtesp Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I am trying to import from a home made dvd and I only get the first 12 minutes (of nearly 2 hours). I think it maybe because it has a menu and chapters. Anyway round this? THANKS! Using v4.05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Put the DVD into your PC's DVD drive, open the File Manager and copy the .VOB files from the DVD to a convenient folder on the hard drive. Import those files into VP and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtesp Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks guys . Importing the VOB files seems to work. Better if they are on the pc first to avoid having to insert the dvd everytime I want to make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsmith Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I am having the same problem. I am using the most current unlicensed version (4.45) of Video Pad. I am attempting to import a video from a DVD. The movies were recorded using a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650, which uses mini-DVDs. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. When I put the DVD in the computer's disk drive, the Media Player will correctly load the recordings. I can see all the clips and play them all. There are Titles, chapters, etc. However, when I attempt to import the clips into VideoPad, I can only see and play the first one. I tried the remedy suggested above. However, one of the files, VIDEO_TS, required an extension, and, because I am using the unlicensed version, could not. Will I have to purchase the product?

borate Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 _TS is a folder (directory), not a file. In that folder are the playable VOB files. This has nothing to do with whether VP is the trial or registered version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsmith Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 If there is no difference in functionality between the trial and registered version, I hark back to my original question: Why am I able to see and play all clips within the Media player, but can only import and play the first one within VideoPad?

borate Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That are functional differences between the trial and registered versions, but they should not impact the ability to import files, as far as I know. Please upload several files to Dropbox, Google DRIVE, Microsoft One Drive, etc., make them public and post a link here. Someone will test them.

c_major Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 A screen shot for when you browsing the files in VIDEO_TS or when the error message comes up could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsmith Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The following is a screenshot from within Media Player of a listing of the DVD contents. Each chapter corresponds to a clip...all viewable However, I can't create a playlist. Could I, I might then be able to import into Video Pad, and do the editing I need to. Continued further down. The following is what I see when I open the DVD with Videopad: I cannot load video_ts ( I get an error message "failed to load file"), and vts_01_01 only gives me the first clip.

davidsmith Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I heartily apologize for my reply. I thought the screen shots would be included in my post, but they are lost. I'll have to figure out how to include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 To insert an image here first upload it to Dropbox, Google DRIVE, Microsoft OneDrive, etc. and copy the URL. Then click the IMAGE icon in the toolbar (above the VP forum compose window) and paste that URL. <enter> Remember, a VIDEO_TS folder cannot be loaded into VP. Its VOB files can. First, copy them from the DVD to the PC... That's been done here. Under the production name's folder, there are two subfolders: Audio_TS and Video_TS. Opening Videopad and clicking on the Video_TS subfolder displays all the VOB files contained in that folder. Selecting those VOB files, then clicking OPEN inserts them into VP.

c_major Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 You can also upload to this site. You don't need an account, it's free for images under 2MB. And then paste the URL in as Borate mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
