Handbrake only converts the first 30 min of an 11 hr video

Post by Ralph Dratman »

Description of problem or question:
I am trying to convert a VOB file to mp4 or any other commonly accepted file format.
The VOB file duration is 11 hr 20 min 28 sec.
I can view the entire VOB file, at that length, from VLC on Mac.
Every attempt I have made (and I have made many) to convert the full duration results in an mp4 file of duration 30 min 16 sec.
Apparently the VOB file is a container and I guess maybe I am just converting the first portion of the container.
Even though VLC can play the whole long file, it cannot convert it. This seems odd to me but I have tried many times in various ways.
I have tried numerous video file conversion apps on Mac and they all just get the first segment at 30 min 16 sec.
I have not tried anything on a PC or Linux as these are not conveniently available to me at the present time.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
