.iso to MPEG Really, really confused...

[Dmanlamius]

Hello all, I'm new to all this so please be nice!

Ok, I record my bass tutorials with my dvd camera. I finalize the disc, put it in my comp, and open the folder.

It is a .ISO file.

I need to convert this file to a MPEG so I can upload to youtube.

If there is any free software out there, then all the better. I had something called DVDzip pro, but It wouldnt allow me to convert vids over 3 minutes, unless I paid.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Kris.

You should see a video_ts folder if you have made a standard dvd with your dvd camera.

How big is the .iso file? can you copy it to your hdd?

Lmao! I was just watching goes Forth! How bloody weird...

Ok, the file is:

VTS_01_0.IFO

It is 20.0KB big.

Dont forget, I know NOTHING about this stuff...

Thanks for taking the time out Balders.

No other files?

Try open the dvd with Isobuster and see if it can find more data. Or try on another dvd driver or computer.

Sorry, VTS_01_0.VOB as well.

I thought between the lot of ya, someone would know! At least one...

But alas.

For anyone in the same boat, this is what sorted it:

Or use VOB2MPG and get one MPG that you can upload to youtube.

For what it's worth these are Google's vid recommendations.

- MPEG2 (mp3 or mp4 audio) at 5 mbps
