The trimmed MPEG-2 VOB file will not be played along with DVD image files - IFO,BUP. You should interpret is after editing as a separate VOB file

I'll delete those mmlix files....thx

When I moved the edited (by Splitter) file (16.9MB) to another directory and open it (it defaults to Windows Live Photo Gallery) it just opens a black screen...apparently it's looking for some other file (maybe the IFO) in the directory.  When I move it back to the directory where the other files are it again opens the entire, unsplit, video.
Strange....I obviously don't know how these different files in the directory; VOB, IFO, and BUF, work together.

So I don't think it'll do any good to send it to you...will it?

Hello etw,

1. Am I not able to trim and retrim the same VOB file?
Sure you can.

3.  BTW....after using Splitter there was two extra files in this directory, both with a .mlmix ending
Splitter creates .mlmix files and store the indexes there to avoid new indexation when you open same file another tim.
So you can delete them.

What is a size of the trimmed vob file you get? Could you send us that or upload somewhere?

Yes that worked...thanks!   BUT...

After that trim was completed I saved the new file with the recommended name and VOB extention.  I then tried to reopen the new trimmed VOB file and I got an error message "Unknown exception detected" and then an info message that said "Source file is not supported or damaged"

Questions/Comments:
1. Am I not able to trim and retrim the same VOB file?
2. When I click on this new VOB it opens another (I guess default) program, Windows Live Photo Gallery, and it starts playing from the very beginning of another part of the entire (58 minute) video that was shot on an older camcorder to a mini-tape which I had put on a DVD and then I moved those files to a directory on my computer.  I don't see any of the edits I made when it gets to the part where it appeared Splitter was editing.
Originally, in this directory there was 2 small BUP files, 2 small IFO files, and 4 VOB files (two in a few KBytes and 2 large 1 gig files.  I can click on any of the VOB files and I get the same 58min video.  If I click on either of the of the IFO files it opens WMP and starts playing the whole video, chapter by chapter.
3.  BTW....after using Splitter there was two extra files in this directory, both with a .mlmix ending
SORRY!..I'm totally new to all of this! I don't understand all these files, nor your program!

Hello etw,

Did you indexed the file before editing? If yes, try to cancel index to check if it remedies the problem.
Please let us know the results.

I am trying to edit a VOB file.  I have installed Splitter (I downloaded the Beta I think) and when I open the VOB file I want to split and then add markers and hit Trim it hangs at 79%, or *6% and never finishes.
Any help here?
