Hi,

Some more information will be useful for members to work on.

Do you mean clips imported into the media library?

Or clips dragged down onto the timeline?

Can you give the specs on your clips? - try using mediainfo or another utility to find out if you don't know.

At the moment there isn't enough info to advise on what the issue/solution might be.

Cheers

Hi Adrian,



Thanks for the reply.

Firstly I copied the VTS files from a disc into a folder on my laptop.

Then I go to Import Media files to locate the files and place into the media library.

The clip only plays for 20 seconds in media library or when dragged to timeline.

But played in an external player - VLC, Windows media, Power DVD etc the clip runs for its full duration.

(example a clip I tried to edit was approx a minute long. But PD 14 will only give me the first 20 seconds)

This isn't just one clip.

The DVD where the VTS files are is a RW. Would that make any difference?

Hope you can help.

Hi,

Some .vob files have a history of causing similar issues that have been reported elsewhere on the forum.

From memory 2 solutions might work:

A quick and dirty one - rename the .vob files to .mpg and see if that helps. Do a test on a copy clip to keep the original safe.

Use something like Handbrake to transcode the .vob files to another container format.

I can't really test as the .vob files I have import fine into PD14 and 15.

Cheers

I am still having problems - The VOB files are shortening when I try to edit them in PD14.



I have tried to convert using various converter programs and the colour comes out in stripes and you can't see the picture.
