Audio Problem in VirtualDubMod

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

For some reason I'm getting an odd error message when I try to open my vob files into VDubMod. It says: MPEG: Anachronistic or discontinuous timestamp found in audio stream 29 at byte position 35645458, from 300034127 to 30127727. This may indicate an improper join. There is a whole list of them and the numbers change per line.

I'm just baffled and I'm doing my best to figure this out. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled VdubMod. My next step is just to rerip (I use DVD Decryptor in IFO mode) but I'd like to find out why this happened because I'm afraid I'm going to do whatever I did again and it's going to keep doing this. The files worked for a long time, while I was trying to figure out deinterlacing, and other vobs work as well. But the entire set from one set the audio is just...not working. And the audio won't play in VudbMod only. PowerDVD and Vegas Video both play the audio fine. It's like for every step forward I get pushed another two steps back. Any help would be appreciated.

I just reripped the episode and this time the error message didn't come up but the audio still didn't play. Help?

ETA: Found some people with my exact same problem on a forum. They didn't get any answers of why either. The only suggestions were to move to other programs. *shrug*

this probably won't be helpful to you, but on the off-chance it is: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=66964

Actually it is very helpful. Not that I'll be using the guide because it all but confirms that it is a problem with how I'm obtaining the files. I'm thinking it's cause I'm ripping by chapter. I think (from what I've read) that header info gets lost. And apparently, that's pretty important stuff.

DVD Decrypter or vStrip have the option rip Titleset VOBs to one single VOB. If by chance you have your VOBs not joined, you have the option to rerip your VOBs again to one VOB or you can merge them all using a free tool , available for download here at Doom9, called FileMerger in the VOB Tools sections. When you have your single Titleset VOB, proceed on.

I don't have time to test today, but I'm going to adjust my settings and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks again, this actually did help confirm some things. And if changing the settings doesn't work, then this guide hopefully will help me put the pieces back together.

Thanks!

I'm just happy it helped clarify - I didn't have the time to read it over last night, but it looked like it *might* be pertinent.

The header stuff - I've had some prior issues with it and TMPGenc dvd authoring program.

Hope you get it all straightened out.
