Source Duration time is wrong
Source Duration time is wrong
- Help
I imported a .vob file and the time says that it is a 1 min and 20 sec. But the actual length is 15mins. When I encode it's only encoding for the 1'20".
How do I fix this problem?

- Sometimes the information in the header is wrong. When you import the file you should see it indexing for the first time. Once that has finished try reimporting the file and see if that works.

- I am having the same exact problem, however re-importing the file does not seem to help. I just installed SP1 and that does not appear to help either. Is there a way to force it to re-index the file? or clear the cache?
- You can clear the cache by going into Tools…Options on the menu switch to the compatibility tab and disabling one of the filters and clicking OK. You can then go back into it again and turn it back on. This has the side effect of clearing the cache.
Hope that helps.

Dean. - I actually found that renaming the .VOB to .MPG has taken care of about 99% of the source duration problems I was having. I have 1 more file that still as issues, but Encoder seems to think that it's longer than it really is. That is easily fixed by setting the end time manually in the Enhance -> Clip Edits section.
