DVD .VOB .IFO files damaged (?)

Post by omitfyt »

Hi, everybody,

when I play a DVD copy of a gig, the video stops and doesn't continue.

Doesn't matter whether I use VLC, DVDplayer[Mac] or whatever else.

I've found 10 different shows that can't be played till the end.


Examples of "a bad sector":

1991.11.05 - Milwaukee, WI, USA - during the "Justice Medley"
1996.09.30 - Milan, Italy [2nd source] - right after "Enter Sandman"


The dvd-files are somewhat broken. Re-downloading the dvd-gig doesn't make any difference.


Is there any edit / repair / software for .VOB / . IFO files ?


Or am I the only one with these issues ?

Cuz I haven't seen any comments regarding Milwaukee / Milan shows mentioned above.


Thank you.

One way to check if a disc is bad is to use a program called DVD Shrink. It analyzes the disc and can tell if something is corrupt with fairly high accuracy. If a VOB file is bad, then most likely have to find someone with a working copy.

Here's a list of all bad shows that I know about: https://forum.metpage.org/viewtopic.php?t=38969
