#415 Can VirtualDub2 handle DVD-files ?

[sensor66]

I am afraid I am posing a stupid question, but honestly, I have searched and could not find.
I have many DVD-files (VIDEO_TS\ BUP/IFO/VOB), and want to look at those DVD videos, mainly because VirtualDub2 seems to show the frame numbers so well (compared with VLC and VPC). But I cannot find how to do it, don't see if it is even possible. So question:
Can I look at a DVD (VOB files) with VirtualDub2 ?
Thanks!

VPC should be MPC-HC

.vob is definitely in the list of known extensions, have you tried to just open the file?
Don't know much about DVD but I opened some vob files before. AFAIK it typically contains mpeg-2 video but other formats are possible.

Thanks.
I tried opening individual VOB files, but they all show with a very limited time (like 350 frames where there should be many more)
But my question was not about individual VOB files, but is it possible to load a whole set of (often 4) VOB files, i.e. all files in \VIDEO_TS\ of a DVD.

There is no support for DVD structure. Not sure about the frames. There are 2 input drivers capable of opening it: mpeg-2 and ffmpeg. Try what works better.

You may want to try http://www.makemkv.com which will pass dvd to MKV without recompressing. Then you can open MKV in virtualDub.
