how do you convert .vob to an mpeg?

[007craft]

ok yesterday i authored a mpeg2 using tmpgenc dvd author. I then burned it to a dvd and then my HD crashed.. now i want to get the .mpeg back.. so how do i do this?

if it helps... my movie was split into 2 .vobs cause its 1.6gb big

Open the VOB with something like DVDDecrypter or VOBEdit and demultiplex it.

Just import it back to your hard drive with TMPGEnc DVD Author. Use the "Add DVD Video" function, and TDA will import the VOB's back to your hard drive as mpeg files. Since you have two VOB files, I believe it will create two mpeg files.



The mpeg files will be in the TDA working directory on your hard drive.

anyway to keep it as one mpeg?

[sacajaweeda]

Yeah it should result in one mpeg file. Your VOB file was only split because that's what the DVD specification calls for....1GB file size limits.

hmm.. it put it into 1 mpeg but i cant hear audio when I play it? When I open it up in gspot it shows N/A for audio and video?

[007craft]

oh wait... It plays and sounds just fine in power DVD.. in WMP it seems to freeze and have no audio? maybe cyberlinks mpeg2 decoders dont work well with WMP?

I have that problem if the audio is ac3. The audio won't play unless I play the mpeg file in a software DVD player.

Simple: DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL TMPGENC PLUS. OPEN THE PROG, FILE>MPEG TOOLS>DE-MULTIPLEX (CHOOSE THE VOB FILE)> 2 CLICKS ON VIDEO OR AUDIO. FINISH. OPEN AGAIN, FILE>MULTIPLEX>ADD (CHOOSE THE RECENTLY GENERATED M2V FILE)>RUN> DONE!

DO THE SAME FOR THE AUDIO FILE.

use dvd decrpter to rip all the files to your hard drive. There is an option setting to rip "as one big file".

Or, use Iso buster
