MAC: VOB files to DVD

[trandean]

I have ripped selected songs from various music DVDs which ended up as VOB files.
But I don't know how to create a single DVD from these VOB files
Does anyone know how to do this ?
:P

[galactica]

reading the forum would help tremendously!
whats the total size of the .vobs

you can import them directly to sizzle and have it compile a dvd image whcih can then be burned.
its rather simple to import, each title will be a .vob and you can make menu's and buttons for each title

You know, I've never got the VOB import feature of Sizzle to work. Always gives me an error. Separate m2v/mp2 settings works fine. Better than fine.

i have noticed it to be tempromental

in that case, 1st poster you can demux the .vob into its coponents .m2v and .ac3 which can be imported directly to sizzle to compile the dvd image

When went to the Sizzle website that Galactica pointed out, I saw the message from the author:

"There are some huge, huge bugs with Sizzle 0.5b1 and Mac OS X 10.3. I don't understand most of them. The two big ones are that menus don't work in DVD Player 4.0, and some people are unable to create new documents. I don't get it."

As I have Max OS X 10.3.1, I installed Sizzle 0.1, but did not know how to import hte VOBs into Sizzle. The average size of my VOB files are 250M.

Can anyone help me ?

[galactica]

0.1 cant import .vob directly
you would have do demux them to thier components .m2v and .ac3 then import those as your video and audio tracts

if you get 0.5 you can import .vob directly *but one of the bugs is it not handling the .vob properly, so either way you have to demux the .vob

you can use ffmpegx under TOOLS to demux the .vob, likewise the app bbdemux works with .vob demuxing

[trandean]

I have demux the VOB into m2v,ac3 files.
But still don't know how to import these.
Is there a tutorial for the 0.1 version some where ?

[SERBIAN]

Launch Sizzle 0.1 and on the first tab (Disk) set aspect ratio, video system and video format based on Your VOB file...With "Output path.." button choose Your destination folder for DVD image file Sizzle will create...

Then on "Chapters" tab, on "Input format" set "M2V: MPEG-2 Elementary stream", and on "View/edit files for track" set "Video track"...

Now with "Input file path.." choose Your demultiplexed .m2v...Now push "Audio Tracks" tab and set Your audio track to AC3 format on "Format:" menu...Then go back to "Chapters" tab and switch "View/edit files for track" to "Audio Track 1 (AC3)" and with "Input file path.." button choose Your demultiplexed .AC3 audio track...

You have to repeat all of that for every VOB file You demultiplexed /if You have multiple VOBs/ to add them as chapters.

Now get back to "Disk" tab and click "Create Disk Image" button...

Thats it..

afaik ffmpeg doesn´t support .vob-demuxing yet. bbdemux works fine for me on os x 10.3.3, though the guys at versiontracker reported incompatibilties

Extractor has been the best and easiest solution for demuxing VOBs that I've found. You can grab a copy here:

The site is sometimes down, so I've put up a mirror of Extractor here:

You could try Toast 6. It should handle VOB as long has they don't have any errors in the MPEG stream.

First time i used it, Extractor worked great... the first time only. Now no matter what i do, all the buttons other than "Choose" remain greyed-out!

I've junked prefs, reinstalled, and a few weirder experiments. No change.
I liked Extractor because it will pull out PCM audio.
