Why are you merge vob files instead of opening the DVD?

Judging by the screenshots you took (a debug output would have been more informative) the length info of your merged vob file reports it as 45sec long, which is why the progress indication goes hay wire when the encoder reports it encodes way more frames then there should be.
However you merged your vob files into a single file it's not the proper way to do it and Hybrid is not designed to handle files with wrong/broken header information.
-> I would recommend to not use Hybrid or learn on how to merge vob files (if you need to) while making sure the created file has proper header information.

i'm use VOBMerge 2.51 to merge vob, the soft is design to merge DVD vob.

if this is not the right way, how to merge VOBs

Don't know the software, but unless your combined files only have a 45 second length, it clearly does not do a good job.

but the merged VOB file , opened in potplayer, it display the length is 1 hour and 24 minutes 37 seconds

RE: can't start to encode, always waiting - Selur - 31.05.2020

Hybrid uses mplayer and mediainfo to detect the length. One of them reports the length as 45sec which does not happen with correct files.
If you share a debug output level 9 I can tell you which one of them reports the length, but other than telling your that the headers of the files are not correct I can't tell you anything other than that Hybrid is not the proper tool to handle your file.

Did some search and vobmerge only "copy /b" to join the files thus it does not care about headers at all and thus the length&co information in the headers are just the info of the first file.
For the record: Joining video files using "copy /b" is STUPID unless the files were originally one file and were split byte-wise.

I don't see any good reason to join vob files to begin with, but if you need to join them use MKVToolnix to append the files inside an mkv container.
