How do I convert .vob file to mkv/mp4 losslessly?

....Jumanji I get the DXVA with most mkvs. I'm using the beta versions from xvidvideo.ru maybe they've changed something in it. Anyway it's no big deal .. not worth stressing out over a couple of videos .. might as well play them in WMP.

Thanks to all for trying to help me!

Quite possible. My version of MPC-HC is MPC - HC 32bit (x86) v1.5.2.3456 downloaded from sourceforge

Glad that you got a satisfying solution. Cheers.

Are you using Sharks Codecs?
Is the green tint only happening with the DVD copies?

If so, what happens if you disable the MPC-HC and use FFDshow instead?

Yup I have shark's codecs installed on my PC. I have attached some screenshots .. the settings app shows the settings which I have used for a long time & the media info as per MPC-HC. Video working fine in WMP. I'm also using the latest nvidia drivers, 280.26.

In MPC-HC, Transform filters are checked entirely and in source all checked other than avi, flv, mkv, mp4 and real media. Had to make this change because on some files seeking was acting strangely.

I'll keep this bookmarked if I wish to transcode something in the future, thanks!

No problem. I've been using it for some time now. It is very easy to use with presets for the most common conversions. It is fast with GPU acceleration and the quality is really good even with one pass conversion.

Hmm, your using a older version of the codec pack than I have.

The lossless rip you have done should be a MPEG source, regardless which container you prefer to use (TS or MKV)
So those settings in the H264 tab shouldnt really affect that particular file type.

In the MPG-MP4 tab, try some different things there.
I have a feeling this is simply some sort of conflict with the Codecs and your setup. Though I could be wrong.
Everyone has them from time to time, which is why other options are nice to have :)

For example, in the MPEG2 specific (DVD) section, try FFDshow,Default, and DXVA.

It may also be worth trying the above in combination with different splitters.
Such as the MS/Haali splitters.

I've had a couple issues from time to time if using Gabest BluRay Splitter and disabling Haali gloabally.
Microsoft/Haali Splitters resolved my problems, so I just use those for everything.
And while it may not be true for everyone, they simply work better for me, and may for you as well.

Its worth a try anyway.

I got the .TS file which I created with TSMuxer to work in MPC-HC. The workaround was to uncheck MPEG-2 Video (DXVA) under the Transform section in Internal Filters. Shark's pack doesn't affect MPC-HC with internal filters enabled so I didn't experiment with it. Now the only difference is that DXVA is not enabled and all I can do is hope that the FFDshow folks eventually get the DXVA stuff working as well as the regular FFDshow (MPC-HC does have it embedded after all). I don't care about DXVA functionality because I have an i7 CPU so it's a small trade off.

I'm using the older version of Shark007 codec pack because every version after 2.9.0 breaks FLV thumbnails. Since I have the pack installed specifically for thumbnail generation as I use MPC-HC for playback, no point in updating anymore. Still not fixed in 3.0.3. Bummer! I like having the latest version of the software I use to have the latest bug fixes!
