Playback Rate File Types and DVD

[mordicus]

I want to be able to play video from my DVD (custom burn .ts file) and change the playback rate in 10% increments.

However, the free version of BS only reads .vob files (not .ts files). The .vob files are not the same video length as the .ts files, although playback rate can change in 10% increments.

When I got BS pro, the .TS files played with the entire length of the video. But the playback rate was not able to be changed in 10% increments.

I noticed that in BS free and pro, an .mpg file I have can be playedback in 10% increments, but .wmv file cannot.

Are my observations normal for this program?
***HOW CAN I PLAY A .TS FROM THE DVD IN 10% INCREMENTS?***

PLayback speed depends on the codec used to decode the stream. If the codec doesn't support playback speed modification you won't be able to alter it.
TS files (custom made) are MPEG2, VC-1 or H264 ? Wich splitter and filters are used to decode the files ?

Thanks for trying to help me, I appreciate it!

I don't know how to determine which splitters and filters are being used.
If when playing a .wmv file I go to menu options filters, i see WMVideo Decoder DMO. That's as far as I know how to provide info.
Perhaps you know of a way I can search for codecs that allow for TS 10% increments?

Alternatively, why when using the free version, the vob file does not match the length of the TS file?

WMV files are usually decoded by Microsoft DMO decoder, built into WMP. As far as I know, it does not support playback rate modification. I may be wrong, I will look more into it.
You can try to install FFDshow and assign it to decode WMV files too.
As for the TS files, open a file, rightclick -> options -> filters and you should see all the filters used (splitters and codecs)
As for MPEG2 file length, each filter calculates this length in it's own way. Using framerate or using bitrate. If you acces 2 diferent decoders, one using bitrate, one using framerate, you will have 2 different lengths.

Don't worry about the wmv files.
My main goal is to modify playback rate in 10% increments using bs player for .TS files directly from custom burned DVDs.

I will look for the filters used for .TS files and try others and get back to you.

The "file length" I'm referring to is the TIME LEFT reported on the player. Using BS pro, I can play the DVD as 1 .TS file. But using free, it views the DVD as 2 .mov files of different time lengths that don't add up to the single .TS file time. Is it more than the fact that the codecs are calculating time left differently, or is it actually playing it at different speeds or something?

Okay, I checked the filters under options and this is the list:

Default Direct Sound Device
EQ (DEFUALT HIGHLIGHTED)
MPV decoder filter
AC3 filter
DVD Source

I have no idea how this stuff works.
I clicked on each one, but EQ stayed highlighted.
After clicking each one, I tried CTRL+F5 to reduced playback rate at 10% increments without luck.
I don't know if there are settings in those filters that I should change or if I need an entirely new codec. Please advise. Thanks.
