Intro

I have a DVDISO file, and opening it doesn't work because my built-in disk mounter can't read it.

So, I open it up with VLC and all looks fine. When booting it up it's supposed to take you to a screen where you can select what clip you want to see. Remember this as the selection screen, and it has 3 clips and a PLAY ALL button. The first clip works... Partially. If you skip too far, VLC kicks you back to the selection screen. The 2nd and 3rd clips do not work and kick you back on sight.

Cracking it Open

So, I get some software to open & extract the ISO's files and the first thing it tells me is that a few BUP and IFO files are corrupted, and a VOB file as well. Everything comes out and I don't really know how to work with BUP or IFO.

Editing

The VOB file seems a little corrupted so I ran it through ffmpeg as: ffmpeg -i './VTS_01_1.VOB' -c copy './PARTLYBADBUTFIXED.VOB' So it does not break while in VLC.

Commands:

To clip the never corrupted vob: ffmpeg -t 00:13:13 -i 'NEVERCORRUPTED.VOB' 'WHATIWANTPART1.VOB'

To clip part of the corrupted vob: ffmpeg -ss 00:13:13 -i 'PARTLYBADBUTFIXED.VOB' 'WHATIWANTPART2.VOB'

Long story short: I then tried to create a new VOB by getting a uncorrupted clip, and clipping a unique part of the 'fixed' file which luckily wasn't broken, and concated it as such:

ffmpeg -i 'concat:uncorrupted.vob|fixed.vob' -codec copy fixed.vob

Question

I'm not really sure if this file would work if I decided to plug it back in, which I haven't started yet but the filesize is extremely questionable. The og VOB was 1.07~ GB, and my fixed/edited VOB is 667 MB. Any suggestions? ffmpeg probably wasn't the correct software to use, due to some of the buffer underflow errors & 'incorrect' timestamps.

The VOB itself is supposed to be 16:41 in length, but VLC reads it as 3:41. Playing it, it clearly shows me that it has all clips but the timing is really screwed up. This is my first time ever working with .VOB, .BUP, and .IFO files.

Here is ffprobe's thoughts:

Edited VOB by me:

  Duration: 00:16:41.53, start: 0.534667, bitrate: 5583 kb/s
    Stream #0:0[0x1bf]: Data: dvd_nav_packet
    Stream #0:1[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 720x576 [SAR 64:45 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
    Stream #0:2[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 448 kb/s

OG, Still corrupted:

  Duration: 00:03:27.62, start: 0.280633, bitrate: 41372 kb/s
    Stream #0:0[0x1bf]: Data: dvd_nav_packet

    Stream #0:2[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 448 kb/s

OG, But after I tried my best with ffmpeg to fix it:

  Duration: 00:16:42.66, start: 0.533367, bitrate: 8524 kb/s
    Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 720x480 [SAR 32:27 DAR 16:9], 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc
    Stream #0:1[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 448 kb/s

So, is there something that will help me edit/look at BUP,IFO,VOB files better?
