I have many "family" VHS tapes that I have copied to DVD's using a
Sony DVDR. The DVD file type is a .VOB At this point I would like to
edit some of these DVD's that I have made by taking out short clips
and saving them to my computer--when I get enough clips I would then
burn them to an empty DVD disc. Windows Movie Maker will not support
VOB files so I can't use it to edit my DVD's. Anyone have any ideas
what software would allow me to edit VOB files???
==================================
First...just try renaming the file to VIDEO_TS.MPG
and see if it will import. If the import works...drag
the file to the timeline and Save/Publish it in the
..wmv or .avi format. Then...reimport the new movie
clip for editing purposes.
If that fails...rename the file back to Video_TS.VOB
and try converting the file to .wmv or .avi using the
following free converter:
SUPER © Simplified
Universal Player Encoder & Renderer
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER
(the mirror download site is faster)
(FWIW...it's always a good practice to create a
System Restore point before installing new software)
After installing SUPER...open the program and
drag/drop your .VOB file into the Active field.
Output Container...choose...wmv.
Left click the Encode button.
Choose: Simple Profile / OK...
Wait...
(FWIW..I have better luck with video if I do not
try to multi-task while a file is being converted)
When the file is converted...you should find it in...
Program Files / eRightSoft / Super / OutPut.
Or...you can type...Ctrl+T...to open the Save
Window and choose a save folder.
Good luck...
