New here: I have quite a few videos I need to convert to Mp4...please help

[c-leigh]

Hi, I have quite a few videos that are only available to play on a VLC player. The videos I believe are in .ifo and video_ts or .vob files. What is the best software to convert them to MP4? I do not want to lose any quality and want the software to be safe (no adware, malware). Thank you

Vidcoder.

I second that.

Vidcoder.

Vidcoder don't support Pass Through for video, like is father HandBrake....
If you use Vidcoder you loose quality....
XMedia Recode or XviD4PSP support video copy, both portable

Some devices won't play mp4 using mpeg2.

So it is not a certified mp4 player
Remember, a Blu-Ray is encoded either in H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC or in MPEG-2 and they played on all players regardless of the codec used

blue-ray uses ts container not mp4. they're not the same.
