Skip between VOB files ripped from DVD

Hi, I'd like to edit a video ripped from a DVD, but there is a skip between the VOB files when I view them from the timeline. I went frame by frame and it just looks like there's a frame missing between the clips. I checked the source DVD on a DVD player, and there's no such skip when watching it there. I was able to rename the VOB files as MPEG's and tried editing those on the timeline, but the result was the same glitch between clips.

I don't know if it will help, but I'm running the most recent, 2018 version of Premiere Pro, and the video is 720*480, 29.97 FPS, the audio is 48K/16 bits

If you are on Windows, here is how to do it:

1. Press WIN+R

2. Type cmd and press Enter

3. Navigate to the folder where the files are located

4. Type copy filename1.vob /b + filename2.vob /b + filename3.vob /b masterfile.vob

5. Press Enter

6. Wait until it is done. (It takes several minutes to complete.)

This will create a new file, masterfile.vob, and this is the file you will use to edit since no skips are present in masterfile.vob. This will stitch all three files in this example together into a seamless file. You can use any filename you prefer for the output file.

    Thank you very much for your answer, I followed your instructions, however, the resulting masterfile was only a direct copy of the first vob file, the subsequent files were not included.

    O.k, make sure to don´t skip or add a space. For example copy filename1.vob/b+filename2.vob/b masterfile.vob won´t do the trick. All spaces, or lack of spaces, does matter. It can be easier to rename the files before trying this to let´s say 1.vob and 2.vob etc since spelling the name incorrectly won´t do the trick either. Unfortunately copy and paste don´t work in the Command window.


    Thank you so much!!!!!! It worked! yeah, I had it set to a folder containing the files for a different disc and it didn't have all of the vob files I listed and that was why it didn't work the first time. This is so wonderful, really thank you very much for your help. I don't quite understand why this method would put the files together without the splice, when everything else I tried introduced a gap, but it works so that is very wonderful. (I was able, however, to copy and paste your instructions in the command terminal)
