Really strange....How much more content plays in WMP than in Vegas?
Is :17 the same scene in Vegas as it is in WMP....ie there is a pink elephant at :17 in Vegas and WMP but then WMP continues beyond that for a period of time?

Is this a clip you generated?

The video is a renamed VOB file, another VOB from the same came over fine with the rename.
A good minute more plays in WMP. Whats a pink elephant ? Hate to say I never heard that one.

Hope that gets you moving in the right direction.

Pink Elephant...was just trying to think of something as an on screen reference for that particular frame....could have been anything (woman dancing, sunrise etc) lol....

Vodka and pepto....oh my

Well thanks for the tips and the link, will come in handy for future stuff. On this one I took the old fashioned approach, hooked up my DV deck to the DVD player, hit record on one, play on the other, and captured it in Vegas.

Thanks again;

Exact same thing happened to me, at 13 seconds . Never figured it out so I Did the same thing Muttley did and captured from a dvd deck,, but still curious why this happened.

a VOB file may contain more than one mpeg stream - which may have eof headers (if the authoring program did not strip out) ....i.e. - the mpeg was "cut"

or

the mpeg is VBR and the piece of crap WMP doesnt play VBR files vey well -- or at least tell you the lenth or be able to seek ..

do not use wmp is a easy first solution
