Hi Barry

Thanks for your reply. Yes I see all files in the folder which I have saved on my SSD drive. But when I open the timeline in PD 14 and when I import, I see 2 files which are VOB that I import and when I place them on timeline, the files get shorten to about 24 seconds only. Moreover I still have my older PD 12 program. Gladly if I import the same file on PD 12, I get complete 15 minutes footage. Therefore it seems there is a bug in PD 14 which does not read full VOB files which is roughly 15 minutes video.

Wondering if I did miss something when downloading Cyberlink Suite 4 which included PD 14.

Barry thanks for looking into, prompt reply and reading the forum.

How big is/are the Vobs? Could you bother to attach the smaller of the files that are giving you trouble, this sounds rather bug-like, but who knows?

Try this...
In Windows enable "see file extensions".
Those Vobs are actually Mpeg2 files in ugly clothes.
Copy one of those vobs (for safety) and rename/alter the extension to .mpg and see if it plays in PD and if it is correct. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Thanks Barry
I am sorry for not replying earlier. I did copy the file into another folder, and renamed ext to mpg. I did also change the name of the file just incase. PD 14 did not work and would still play 24 secs in preview as well as in timeline instead of 15min.

However if I import the same file onto PD 12, I can preview full 15 minutes of footage as well as see full clip in the time line. Due to urgency of finishing the project, I edited the footage on PD 12 for now. And will check PD 14 later when I have some time.

I am confused, if for any reason the file was corrupted, then why does PD 12 recognise the full 15min. The problem seemed to be with PD 14.
I checked the settings of PD 12 and have same settings on PD 14.
In Win I have checked see file extension.

The file is almost a gig and I cant send via mail due to limitation of my bandwith. I will appreciate if you or anyone out there has any idea or any other suggestions.

This sounds like a bug, I will look at a few of my own vobs later today. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Hi, Barry! I'm having signal strength issues with my wireless modem so my first attempt to post of this went "kerbluey"!

I've noted a similar situation to Fazle's but not in VOB files(chunks of a video stored in separate folders). What I've noted was, when I pull a raw unedited clip(captured from VHS) into PD14, after being stored for a while before anything was done to it, if I preview it while still in the "library" I see that there's a few minutes missing off the end, the clip imported almost immediately into PD14, but incomplete - Thumbs down! So I close PD14 and open PD8 and import the very same raw clip into the media library - Viola! The complete unedited clip! So now I start to work, first converting the clip to 16:9 from its original 4:3 aspect ratio, using CLPV(marvelous device, that!), then touching up the image quality with Fix/Enhance before rendering(still unedited), I then close PD8 and bring the altered version(AR and image touch-up) into PD14, check it in the media library, yep, it's all there! - Thumbs up! I then do my editing, add my titles, job done! But for authoring to disc, it's PD8 for me as I can still burn at DVD-SP and fit 2 hours and 20-odd minutes of content onto one disc, thereby taking full advantage of the disc's capacity. - Thumbs up again! Pity there's no emoticon for thumbs up or down!

Cheers!

Neil.

I am having same problem. When VOB (even when extension changed to mpg) and imported into PD14, only a minute from about 15 minutes is imported.
Something about richvideos pops up. Have no idea what that is or what to do with it.

This thread is eight months old. Please start a new thread and describe your problem in the title. You'll get much better response. Regards,
