[HELP] Problem with VOB file

I've processed numerous merged VOB files with no problems, but this one merged VOB file keeps producing an error (attached).

Strangely, here is the MediaInfo data for the vob file. I'm confused about all the audio tracks - it is simply a DVD-R copy from VHS.

Just to be clear merging .vob files is a stupid idea to begin with. .vob files are not meant to be merged.

About the problem:
Seems like the source filter can't handle the file (probably because of broken headers).
Try remuxing the file to mkv and open the mkv, assuming the remuxed mkv plays fine.

Is there another way of processing separate vob files without merging them?

[Selur]

a. vob files should belong to a DVD structure using the DVD input opening the that structure should be possible. (dependingon the structure pcgdemux or similar should b eused since Vapoursynth an Avisynth both can't handle non-simple DVD structures)
c. using mkvmerge to combine the vobs

I get the same error with the mkv file - very strange. The mkv file plays fine in VLC.

try using another source filter.
Might be an issue with d2vwitch and the source somehow,..
