No, no...
I'm creating the single VOB from SHRINK by unchecking the "split into 1gb files" option...then I run THAT through a transcoder to put these files on my media server.
I understand that, but you said in another post that you were using some batch file afterward.
There are too many variables here. I don't mind trying to help Shrink users creating a normal, standard dvd backup, but you're not doing that.
I also don't know if you're making proper selections for the main movie within Shrink; I have no idea if the "split into 1 gb files option" works fine with all dvds; I have also no idea what "transcoder" it is that you're using (Shrink is a transcoder) and whether that process isn't creating a problem.
There are just too many variables for me to troubleshoot, and it's not Slysoft's responsibility to be troubleshooting Third Party software problems. I don't work for Slysoft, but if you were using Clonedvd mobile's .vob passthrough and complaining that it didn't work, you would in my opinion have every right to ask Slysoft for help. I don't use Clonedvd mobile, so I'm not going to be very helpful, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try the free 21 day trial period. If it doesn't work, then shoot an email off to Slysoft asking for help.
I certainly sympathize that your media server requires a single large. vob file, but if people can create full disc backups with Shrink and also create main movie backups with Shrink, and if Shrink is nicely isolating the main movie, etc., then Anydvd is handling the disc properly.
I honestly can't see this as being an Anydvd issue. If you feel otherwise, contact Slysoft (but explain that you're trying to create a huge .vob file for your media server).
