DVD to Flash?

[zenfor]

My goal is to convert a 15 minute training dvd to flash for use on our website.

Following some advice on here, I first used used DVDdecripter and it created these files on my hard drive:

VTS_03_MENU_1.VOB 8192 2007-02-24 6:37

Next I used VOB2mpg v2.3 and it created these files:
--Wondering why it didn't create one mpg instead of all these?

VTS_01.mpg 1440733184 2007-02-24 6:48
VTS_01_MENU.mpg 12232704 2007-02-24 6:48
VTS_02.mpg 1428662272 2007-02-24 6:49
VTS_02_MENU.mpg 8192 2007-02-24 6:49
VTS_03.mpg 4464640 2007-02-24 6:49
VTS_03_MENU.mpg 8192 2007-02-24 6:49

Next I used RIVA FLV Encoder and it wants to process one mpg at a time.
The menu mpgs seem to go without error but when I tried VTS_01.mpg I get this error. Appreciate any help...

he encoding of your video file has failed.

Try latest super instead.

Hi, I tried super and it created these files, I was expecting just one file? When I click on any of the files, the RIVA player comes up but nothing happens. Thanks for your help, I seem to still be a bit confused as to what I'm doing. Any suggestions, not sure where I go from here.?

I need to have one flv file not 9!!

What am I doing wrong? SUPER doesn't have much of a help forum, please help.

Update!

I installed the free flash player on my website and I can play the samples OK.

I still don't know how to play all the flv files Super created as one flash video. How do I combine them into 1? Thanks!

[Baldrick]

You could join all vobs/mpgs with VideoRedo first and then convert to one flv.

Or make a playlist for flash player....if it's supported by your free player then.

[zenfor]

Thanks again for your help. I'm trying redo now and it will take about 25 minutes or more...

For a 15 minute video the file sizes seem very large, 2.6 GB, a couple took quite a long time for me to ftp them to my web server. Is there some way I can reduce the file size when I do Super to creat the flv's so the file is smaller but the quality is not greatly reduced.

I'll let you know how I did with redo once it's done. Thanks, you're awesome for helping with this.

Update!

Redo is confusing? Do I combine or join? Managed to create on mpg and one vob both play but with no sound? Getting more confused on what i thought would be simple. Thanks!

Just to recap, I have a standard 25 minute training dvd video with sound and video and also a choice of closed captioning. Still at square one with this...

[zenfor]

Feeling a bit frustrated with this. Let me recap what I'm trying to do. I have a 23 minute dvd video with audio and video and a choice of closed captioning.

These are the files on the dvd located in my d: drive

I just one to create a single file or multiples as long as they work together and play the audio and video with a choice of closed captioning. Please help!!

[zenfor]

I looked at this again and was surprised to see that the flv files created actually worked. The files were broken out into 4 parts, 2 without closed captioning and 2 with. I was able to use the free flash player OK too and I'm able to see the video ok.

Now I just need to figure out how to evenly divide the 2 parts. Right now, part 1 is 19 minutes and part 2 is 6 minutes. If anyone know's that setting on Super, please let me know. Thanks!
