No It is still beginning of video. I tried mplayer and it has no problem
around this moment. No suspect output on console from mplayer. It is one
scene. So no end of chapter.

Yes. This vob is composed of more vobs concatenated to one using cat. (I had
problems with using cat *.vob | mencoder -. It crashed with one title
so I concatenate vobs to one so far without any problems.)

I did not tried something else yet. Like -ovc copy -oac copy to see what happens.

As I said above I checked with mplayer and this moment is in the middle of one
scene. I will try to cut this somehow using mencoder -ss -endpos or eventualy
avidemux2.
