Hi!
I have a stack of my father's un-finalized mini-DVDs from his broken camera. A million hours of family footage.
dvdisaster extracts the ISO beautifully, and i compiled and used the dvchop.c thing you see around to extract VOB's, and cat'ed them together (in linux).
Resulting large VOB has a glitch every 19 secs or so (a bit unpredictable) where it seems like 2 or 3 or 5 or so frames go missing. Playback hangs for a split sec, then continues.
Got and paid for IsoBuster, and tried it on the ISO file. Same result. Did the ISO extraction with IsoBuster and tried it on that file. Same result. (IsoBuster does distinguish the individual original VOB files, though, which is handy.) Tried several disks, with no difference. I only have one drive that works for extraction or I'd try others, but it doesn't seem like there's any issue with the reading, generally.
Any ideas? Is there some proprietary camera brand thing at play? I'm pretty sure the camera was writing the disks properly until failure. There are one or two read errors on the disks, but nothing that would explain this.
I'd be very happy to provide any other details, file info, etc, if it'd be handy.
I'm also going to go make a donation to videohelp right now, and so should you if you can, because it's so amazing. :-)
Thanks!
