Shirink down vob file

[Squid_uk]

Hey guys,

I have a DVD of me doin a skydive and i would like to post this video on a website,

I have already ripped the part of the dvd i want using the IFO mode in DVD Decrypter giving me a .VOB .IFO and .TXT files,

the VOB files size is currently 420mb and i would like to shrink it down to under 300mb

Could you guys help me with the best way of doing this

You would need to re-encode it. What video format are you going to use for the website? 300MB would be a overly large file to expect anyone to download.

You could convert it to WMV or MPEG-1, which are fairly universal formats for web use.

AVI, MPEG or WMV would be suitable

Hi...

I would demux the vob file and convert the audio to wav..

load the video into virtualdubmod and add the audio stream.

If your source is interlaced you must deinterlace it, add filter deinterlace (blendfields)

frameserve the to WMNicEnc...

downscale the picture to approx 320x240 (4:3)

video: Windows Media Video 9
audio: Windows Media Audio 9.2 32kps 32Hz CBR Stereo
bitrate:302000

The output will be about 2.3Mbyte/min approx 340kbps (if you want to stream the video)

sorry stars but im not 100% sure how i am supposed to do what you have said, any chance you could explain a bit more please?

I will try...


1. Demux the VOB file I use projectx its in java so you need java runtime for that one
You can get it from here but I have a compailed version on my site in the DVD section.
(all programs can be found there)

2.Convert the audio to wav format I suppose its in DD .ac3 with Quenc

3.Load the video into VirtualdubMOD and add the audio stream. (deinterlace the video if its inerlaced)

To be able to frameserve with virtualdubMOD you must install avisynth.


Install avisynth...
open the lib where virutaldubMOD is installed open auxsetup and click installhandler
close program and run virtualdub.

open the video you want to frameserve

choose startframeserver in file menu.

click ok

and save the file with extension .avi (you must type it in the window)

ex video.avi

below you have a small .avs script

take the line and save is as video.avs in the same lib as the video.avi

AVISource("video.avi")

open the script with WMVENC encoder and you can begin to work with the encoding...

4. enter the settings which I told you about in my last post


Its not a good guide, but its something...You have to play around a little and learn

stars...

Open the IFO in AutoGK. Choose a codec (XviD or DivX, for AVI). Choose a width in the Advanced Settings (or let AutoGK do it automatically). Choose a final file size. Hit Start.
