Damaged ISO/VOB files

Post by energy4you »

Hello,

in some rare cases, DVDFab DVD Copy produced corrupted VOB files. The resulting ISO files can be mounted, that means the ISO file structure itself seems OK, but obviously not the contained VOB files:

- 97% of the generated ISO files are OK, only these rare files not.
- The source DVD discs partially have been brand new, without any scratches, and some were used with scratches. Examples: Planet of the Apes (2001), The Beach, From Hell.

- A WDTV hardware player can play the corrupted files, also Goodplayer (Android).
- But VLC (Windows, ISO file) as well as Windows Media Player (ISO file mounted as DVD drive) cannot play them (but can play the other 97% of the generated ISO files which are OK).

- ISO Buster could not help (extracted ISO file also corrupted).
- A second run with the current version of DVD Copy (reading the corrupted ISO file and generating a new ISO file) also did not solve the problem.

MakeMKV shows error messages, but can still process the files and generate MKV files (but unfortunately, MakeMKV seems not to be able to repair the files and save it as ISO again).

Does anybody have an idea how to repair the corrupted ISO/VOB files, is there any free software?
