Convert .iso into single Dvdrip

[deepwoodsv]

Hello all, I am a newbie when it comes to video converting and the associated stuff.

I have 3 .iso files and after mounting with power iso i can see AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders containing a lot of vob, bup, ifo files.
What i want to do is convert each .iso file into a separate dvdrip. I'm a total newbie at this so could you please tell me the procedure on how to do that via simple noob understandable steps?
Also could you please tell me which video format would be the best for the rip.

Thanks in advance.

DVD Shrink can open the iso and also join them all, http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/flipper/

If you want to keep the menus you can use dvdremake pro, http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/ht_merge_full.php


Or do you want to convert to some other format? Like avi divx/xvid?

Thanks for the reply, but what i want actually is that I want to convert the many .vob files in a single .iso file into a single dvdrip file with extension like avi, mpeg, because the vob files take up huge amounts of space. Can you tell me what the best extension would be for it?

Now that you've given a link on how to combine the vob files, can i just combine them and then convert the one final file into the avi, mpeg format?

Also, are the bup and ifo files of any use?

But noone will make a single avi from all. No such software exists.

So what you really want to do is turn the 3 ISO files into 3 video files(avi files)?

Yes.

Just keep the ISO mounted and follow Baldrick's suggestions. And in the future forget about those VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder. Those are NOT your target. Your target is to convert that complete DVD to a single compressed file...not those individual VOB files.

VOBtoMPG will do the job.
Then convert resulting MPG file to
AVI (Xvid, DiVX, ...)

Baldrick said that one single video file cannot be made. But people make dvdrip of music dvds on the net. I have seen both .iso versions and .avi versions of those dvds. Please help, i need to convert a 20gb dvd consisting of 3 .iso's into 3 separate avi's.

They can make a single avi from each dvd. But not from all three to one as I thought you wanted(I missed the separate part....

You don't have to use vob2mpg.

My Solution> Mount Iso> Open dvd decrypter or dvdfab and extract the dvd folder > then use any gui to convert to avi, mkv.

My Preference to mount: daemon tools lite(free)

Did you actually THINK before you typed that?

Mounting the ISO reveals the VIDEO_TS folder....so why would anyone in their right mind open that with DVDDecrypter to go to an .AVI file when DVDDecrypter does not do AVI files?....and neither does the free version of DVDFab(DVDFabDecrypter)?

And you don't need to mount an ISO as both those programs will open an ISO directly

Way to many extra steps to get from A to B
