Hello
My friend has given me 5-6 DVDs of highlights from soccer games that he wants me to edit to make him a compilation video.
I have never edited a DVD before so I assumed you have to go EXPLORE DVD then the VIDEO_TS folder. In this folder is about 5 VOB files that I assumed I could just copy and upload into Windows Movie Maker. This plan did not work though as WMM did not accept .VOB files. So after a lot of researching and downloading of useless programs, I converted them to MPEG form and uploaded them into WMM.
But now, instead of each video being ~20minutes in length, they are around 30 seconds! The odd thing is, that If I manually slide the timebar to the '15 second mark'. It will actually go to the '10th minute mark' and play for 5 more seconds before stopping. If that made sense...? :/ lol
Somebody suggested downloading VOB2MPG but it didn't change anything.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

There is a guide for VOB2MPG at the bottom of the main page:

Stop messing with the individual files inside the VIDEO_TS folder. You need to convert them to one, large MPEG file in order to edit correctly. -

WMM won't work.
TDA would find the entire set importing the DVD - but it's not free.
Womble MPEG2VCR can load the .vob files - not free, and you may or may not get each video file in it's entirety.
VirtualDubMod can read a .vob file from an unprotected DVD. It's a powerful tool, and allows editing - and it's free.
You'll have to learn, read the guides - I haven't used it enough myself, and couldn't answer questions as to how.;/ l ,[____], Its a Jeep thing,

Yo
thanks for the help. I read the guide (not sure what IFO vs VOBSET) is though, but I tried IFO and it came up with an error halfway through. I then tried VOBSET mode and it successfully converted 1 VOB file (the first half of the match) into MPEG and now I can edit it!
but I can't seem to get it to start extracting the 2nd file :/ -
no matter! The DVD was corrupted for some reason. I had another copy and tried it again and it works!
thanks for the help

Sounds like the blind leading the blind. Why on earth did your friend give the DVD to you to make the compilation?Originally Posted by Dekree
