    Stream Requested does not Exist

    Spoot51 Community Member
      Trying to rip files from DVD for my wife's work project and create DVD copy in Encore 2.0.

      Source DVD is homemade with no protections and I have been able to do this exercise before, but can't seem to import files to Encore.

      I have tried to rename the .vob files on the source (each file is about .99GB) and have also used "VOB2MPG v.2.5" to convert before importing.

      When importing simple renamed file, message appears: "Stream requested does not exist". However the file does play properly in Windows Media Player, so it obviously exists somewhere in proper form.

      When importing the .mpg file that VOB2MPG has created, Encore does not find an audio track.

      Any help is appreciated and name calling is tolerated to a certain extent!

          No name calling. :)

          Can you export from VOB2MPG as elementary streams (separate video and audio)?

          Otherwise try extracting elementary streams using either VideoReDo or Womble MPEG Video Wizard . They aren't free, but their trial versions are very generous.

          I suspect, in this case, that elementary streams may work better for you.

            Thanks for the leads, Jeff. I am not able to export elementary streams using VOB2MPG, and in any case, Encore simply freezes when I import any file from VOB2MPG. I will try one of your suggested solutions.

            Can you explain why the re-name process would work on some homemade DVDs and not others? Does it have anything to do with DVDs authored in non-Adobe programs??

            also, why will the renamed files play perfectly in Windows Media and WinDVD, yet not go into Encore as .mpg assets?

            Lots of questions; just curious as to how things work!

              I had the same issue and to fix it I created a new file from the old one with the following settings.

              File type: MPG
              Codec: Ulead MPEG.Now Encoder
              Media Type PAL DVD
              Frame type: Upper Field First
              Bit Rate: 5000 kbps

              That worked for me!
