Sujet: Video only plays for 30 seconds - Page: 1

Cette partie de ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes

Has anyone else experienced this problem. I rip a DVD to VOB format with VDJ. Then when I go to play it back it only plays for 30 seconds. I found out how to fix it by accident. There is nothing wrong with the rip. The song plays right in other programs. The problem is how VDJ is reading it. You first have to unload the song by replacing it in the player with another song. Then you have to right click on the song and click on BPM then click on analize other music. The problem is it almost always fixes the length but sometimes screws up the video. My guess is there is a problem with the codec in the new version. It's kind of embarrassing to be playing some great song to a 1000 people and it stop after 30 seconds. On the other hand, I have other more important things to do then check the run time on every song I load. I hope this problem is addressed by the VDJ staff.

I am not sure that I understand your issue, but all videos and mp3s, need to be analyzed once. You can do this two ways. You can load it into the player and let it analyze. This means letting it load into the player fully. The second way is to analyze a batch at a time. You can select as many newly ripped tracks as you want, right click and select bpm, then either analyze techno/house or analyze other music. You will have to choose which one, based on the type of music it is. This will set the bpm, time, volume, tag, etc based on the settings you have in configurations. You need to do this, before you perform live in front of clients. We all do it.
 
I realize there is not alot of stars next to my name but I know this program like the back of my hand. Maybe you don't use VOBs or maybe you haven't burned any new DVDs in a while. I think this issue has either to do with the new version or the actual codec. Do me a favor and only answer my thread if you know what the question is. If you have any in depth questions concerning my explanation of my prroblem, let me know.
 
OK, I don't think it's the new version as you think. I rip about 7 vids a weak average more lately. I rip them then use vdj to test them and make sure if its the video I really want and check to see which vid is which that way I can go rename them. I also reduce the size of the vids I know I will not play unless in rare request. So to hopefully answer your question of VOB, MPEG2 or any other codecs it works fine here. Do you have load time to always in your config ( can't remember the actual name ).
 
I am having same problem as mpezzella. Virtual DJ is not playing back all my music videos either. Example Promo only Chris Brown, With You (VOB Format using VDJ Ripper)! Only plays 30 seconds and video quits. However I play the same video in VLC Player and the video plays fine. Something is not working correctly in VDJ Program.
 
Also for the record I did also analyze my files..
 
Does it do it with all ripped songs or just random. Do you have any other DVD ripper that you can try and compare. I will use VDJ ripper tonight and test the waters a little bit. Have you tried DVD Decrypter - search for Tophouse's blog. Great instructional setup. I've used it for almost a year and it works beautifully. The DVD Decrypter is free and I have it set up on two computer depending where I'm gonna be. Do you anylize as other music or techno. I use other for mine and so far so good.
 
It is only random videos. Another good example is My Immortal from Promo Only. After it is ripped to VOB and loaded into the player of VDJ it shows something like 22 seconds. When you go back and Analyze it again it shows the full song. The problem was the video would begin playing at the begining of the song like it was supposed to but it would be the last 15-20 seconds of the video and then would go to black screen for the rest. Then I analyzed it again and it worked. There is a problem with the way the program is reading the VOBs. Let me break this down a little more technical. I have seen a similiar problem before where the encoder for ripping is different than the codec for playing. In some instances there are play back problems. This problem is simple. Its not the ripper. Its the player and the way VDJ sees the VOBs. I have already checked the VOBs with some other codecs and they play just fine. Of course the best one to test with is VLC player, and it's free. I would like to see a response from the VDJ staff on this issue. I may put in a support ticket on it also.

I only use .vob, 2288 on one external, and 1700 on another external. They all play fine on my machine. As a matter of fact they are playing right now, and I DON'T know VDJ like the back of my hand, so go figure. It is obvious that you are so much smarter than I am, so I will not try to help you, since you can't learn anything from me. Gotta go, need to make another mix with my .vob files. I look forward to the resolution of your issue. Good luck.

Your comments not helping solve the problem. This is a big problem and I have the same problem as mpezzalla. I tried different players and the VOB works fine in those. This is an issue with the program. So if you don't have any helpful answer's. Please don't post anymore smart comments.

Read my first post. I was trying to help. If I missed the point, he could have restated it. He chose to go another way, and that is his choice. He wanted me to know how smart he was, that is OK. I have helped more people than both of you put together, so do not question my motives or my sincerity, check my history. As for you telling me to shut up, that is OK also. My answer to you is no. You don't like what I said, don't reply. Now what?
 
It's been our experience that not all rippers are all alike. Maybe try a different one with guidance from others. I tried 3 different ones with some success but not I would have liked. The DVD Decrypter is the best for me because I can rip the DVD in different ways depending how the DVD was setup. I'm not an expert though just using my experience to help.
 
I'm no expert either, and all I can offer is my experience. I take help from anyone, even those that have less stars than I, like stars mean something. All of us do not have this problem, so I would ask someone with almost 4000, .vob, how he does it. That is just me. We are all here to help one another.
 
fatkatzdj - I have not tried DVD Decrypter but I have ran about 5 others. Maybe I should try that one. I really like VOBs. Thanks.

A Man and His Music - I was going to leave you alone but you posted something else stupid.....first of all I thought you were somebody that may have known something, but I was wrong. You must be joking right. I have been DJing for 31 years and have 16 DJs. We do between 10 and 15 shows a week. I have 3 40' video walls. I own all of my djs equipment. We use Scratch Live and Virtual DJ depending on whether we are going to run video. My system, that I carry with me, has 9356 videos and 124,139 MP3s. I deleted about 6000 last week that I knew I would never play. Don't throw numbers at me junior, and lay off the people that are trying to help. I posted this problem to see if anybody else was having this issue and whether VDJ knew about it. Not to be told how to analyze my music. One more word of advise. If you have to start your post off with I don't understand your question....DON'T POST A REPLY!!! I also appreciate how many people you have helped. I don't think you will be adding me to that list. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Alright dude give it a rest. In the beginning of this post did you explain yourself clearly enough that any user could give you a very detailed answer, the answer there is NO. Then AMaHM stepped in to try to help u. All you had to do was come back and politely tell him that that wasnt what you needed as u know how to do that already, and explain in detail your issues. You were the one that came back with serious attitude and thats why u got the responses you got. I am not tryin to be a dick I am just tryin to explain that we are ALL users here that help other users. We are ALL volunteers and deserve to be treated with the respect that we would like to be treated with. If there isnt anything nice to say dont say it at all as it will not help you get your answers.

Also adding your system specs would also help out aswell.

I personally rip with Smartripper which is also free you could try that. Also what is your max load in vdj options set at. Try it at 30
 
In any case I'm heading home and I have at least 2 dvd's to rip, I will try to recreate the situation with VDJ ripper. I have my maxload at always.
 
Alright, discobrian24.....you maybe right. I may not have explained the problem well. I'm not saying that the software freezes. What I'm saying is when the song is dropped into the player, VDJ reads the song as 30 seconds. When you play the track it goes to the end of the 30 seconds. To fix this problem I have to unload the song from the player and re-analyze it. Reanalyzing it works sometimes and sometimes it don't. I don't have any problems with the software working. I just have a problem with some of the tracks not being read properly by VDJ.
 
Ok I see, now are you running XP or Vista?? If XP download either K-Lite codec pack or XP codecs. This could be a codec issue. Also did u check your max load settings in cfg/options? How long are these vidz supposed to be ie. Track length??
 
I am having the exact same problems as mpezzella is describing. I will see if this works.

I'm running Vista and XP on different machines. XP codecs are already installed. Would the VOBs play without the XP codecs? I mean, is there one built into VDJ or winxp already? I have thought this was a codec issue from the start. What is the max load setting? What does it do? The videos are just a regular song. You know 3 to 4 minutes.
