I'm having problems audio encoding to aac format

[vaddy]

I'm having problems in Hybrid_2020.10.11.1 with audio encoding to aac format. When video encoding starts, the audio track is only 6 minutes 22 seconds long. When the whole movie is 2 hours 10 minutes long. I use the built-in encoder aac for sound, not an external one. Here's a view of the settings. And Report.txt

When video encoding starts, the audio track is only 6 minutes 22 seconds long.

Sounds like there's a problem with the extraction or the conversion of the audio.

So looking at the extraction:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\mplayer.exe" -v -mc 0 -vc dummy -nocorrect-pts -noconsolecontrols -nocorrect-pts -vc null -vo null -nocache -hardframedrop -aid 128  -dumpaudio -dumpfile "D:\5\iId_3_aid_128_DELAY_-43ms_2020-10-23@21_00_01_9410_01.ac3" "E:\Untitle.VOB"

Side note: Whenever I see single vob files I suspect folks some how merged a DVD into a single vob file in a non proper way, i.e. by not properly adjusting the headers in the file. Hope this is not the case here.
Since you did not care to read the sticky: What happens if you call the above call inside a Windows Command Prompt?
Any errors or warnings?
Is the size of the created "D:\5\iId_3_aid_128_DELAY_-43ms_2020-10-23@21_00_01_9410_01.ac correct?

If there are no warnings/errors during the audio extraction, check whether there are any during the conversion by calling:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\ffmpeg.exe" -y -threads 8 -i "D:\5\iId_3_aid_128_DELAY_-43ms_2020-10-23@21_00_01_9410_01.ac3" -c:a aac -strict -2 -b:a 192k -ar 48000 -channel_layout 5.1 "D:\5\iId_3_aid_128_DELAY_-43ms_2020-10-23@21_00_01_9410_02.aac"

inside a Windows Command Prompt.

Thanks for your reply. Many mistakes but I think they do not affect my problem [img][/img]

How come.
From my point of view Hybrid does:
1. first extract the audio
2. convert the audio
since you complained that the audio length is not correct it mus either be a problem with the extraction or the conversion.

Since the extraction does not work and and I don't know what the error messages mean and I can't translate them since you did make screenshots instead of copy&paste the content of the windows I have no idea how I could help.

My current guess is that either:
a. something on your system is interfering with the extraction
or
b. there is an issue with the input vob file.

Thank you very much for your help, I tried another vob file to recode, the sound was extracted there completely and correctly. So the problem is in this very vob file. It's only strange why other programs like Adobe Premiere and Davinci Resolve Studio and CyberLink PowerDirector 19 work with it correctly.  Attached to this post is HybridDebugOutput .
