Bunch of Video Files... want to get them on a CD

[DW]

hey all,

I downloaded a video, and once all parts were complete, I got these files:

VIDEO_TS.BUP [12kb]
VIDEO_TS.IFO [12kb]
VIDEO_TS.VOB [12kb]
VTS_01_0.BUP [66kb]
VTS_01_0.IFO [66kb]
VTS_01_0.VOB [430mb]
VTS_01_1.VOB [~1gb]
VTS_01_2.VOB [~1gb]
VTS_01_3.VOB [~1gb]
VTS_01_4.VOB [750mb]

The full thing is about 1 dvd, but I want to do is make the files into several video files, or VCDs, SVCDs, whatever. Basically, I wanna get them onto regular CDs, however possible.

How to do this?

thank you!

[jimmalenko]

Take a look in the convert section to your left.

You want to convert DVD to VCD or SVCD.

[DW]

well, i tried to do it... and i dunno if i got anywhere, maybe i did.

BUT, i still ended up with a bunch of VOB files. my question is how do i get these onto a CD in a playable form. Or, can the files be directly burned onto a cd? by just adding the files? the guides didnt seem to answer this question.

[johns0]

Use dvd2svcd with tmpgenc as your encoder and load in VTS_01_0.IFO as your ifo file and encode as svcd.

[DW]

i did that (only using ProCoder instead). It gave me 22 different files, all various stuff, plus 3 MORE .vob files.

???

(do i just burn the vob's to a cd?)

[johns0]

You didnt do it right then,the output has to be set as svcd or you will get dvd files again.Read the help files on setting up as svcd.

[DW]

hey johns0, thanks for replying

i followed the directions here, on creating an SVCD from a DVD:

https://www.videohelp.com/sefy/?id=dvd2svcd.html

and i changed the Output file type to SVCD. as far as i can see, that was the only thing to do.



sorry its taking so long... what kind of files should i be ending up with?

[johns0]

You should get 2 or 3 mpg files and possibly 2 or 3 sets of image files in bin/cue.You can burn the cue/bin`s with nero under file/burn image and browse for the cue file and burn away.

[DW]

wow.... thats definately not what im getting. i agree, it must be a setting somewhere in dvd2svcd, but i cant tell where... and im a little surprised the guide didn't mention anything about it. i dont see any help in the program either...

[Supreme2k]

[jimmalenko]

I can feel my catchphrase coming on....

I don't think this one deserves it just yet without an attempt to rectify the situation, so here goes......

The easiest way would be to purchase the DVD you have downloaded.

The second easiest way would be to burn these files to a DVD.

The third easiest way would be to load the VOB files into DVD2AVI...

The fourth easiest way would be to load the VOB files into VirtualDub-MPEG2...

[johns0]

After the dvd2svcd says its finished go to c:\program files\dvd2svcd\movie,thats where your files will be.

[DW]

[hmm... there seems to be some discomfort here for some reason...]

lets take care of the childness first...

The easiest way would be to purchase the DVD you have downloaded.

I cannot purchase the DVD becuase its not a DVD which is on sale. It is a friend's reel (on DVD), who no longer lives by me so he emailed it to me. But good job at making an ignorant assumption.

The second easiest way would be to burn these files to a DVD.

I dont have a DVD burner. Hence my desire to burn to a CD. (see my first post). (But i'm sure in all your infinate wisdom, jimmalenko, you inferred this, and are simply joking around with me.)

The third easiest way would be to load the VOB files into DVD2AVI...

uh, I did (see my above posts). If you read the thread, you'd see that its not the loading i'm having problems with. Its the output of files, and settings, etc. If you have helpful input to give concerning settings, then i'm all ears.

The fourth easiest way would be to load the VOB files into VirtualDub-MPEG2...

ah, an actual suggestion! Thank you. Honestly, I'd rather do it with D2S. You said yourself that it would be easier.


Now, back to the problem.

After the dvd2svcd says its finished go to c:\program files\dvd2svcd\movie,thats where your files will be.

johns0, thanks for the reply. As i said above, I'm not having any problems finding the files. I am however getting files that, according to you, I shouldn't be. You said i should just get a bin and cue, and the mpegs. However, i'm getting BUNCHES of weird files, like .ini's, .d2s's, .d2v's, .avs', .txt's, including new vob files that i want to convert. as you said, it must be a setting somewhere. I just dont know what or where.

any help greatly appreciated

[jimmalenko]

@DW:
They're all legitimate suggestions, without being patronising or anything like that. You must have chosen to interpret them this way.

Not a good idea to rule yourself out of any help I might be able to give you in the future

[DW]

I can feel my catchphrase coming on....

I don't think this one deserves it just yet without an attempt to rectify the situation, so here goes......

No, not patronizing at all.

However you want to put it, jimmalenko, i asked a very specific question. Your "suggestions" were peripheral, and had more to do with being a smart ass rather than actual help (come on, did you really think "purchase the DVD you have downloaded" would have helped me in converting a vob file?).

Not a good idea to rule yourself out of any help I might be able to give you in the future

Why? you didn't this time, so why should I expect any different in the future? All you did was prove to me (along with your first post, a picture which was... verrrry helpful to my problem) that you THINK you know more, but dont want to actually show it.

Regardless, I have found the solution to this particular problem myself. Thanks to johns0, and all the other nice members i have communicated with here in the past. Mods, feel free to close down this thread before it becomes even more... well, you know.

You have a lot to learn around these forums, my friend. It would have been too easy to take a cheap shot at you and tell you to read the ******* manual or use the search feature, as was the feeling here.

Yes, it would. If you had have taken the 2 minutes it would have taken you to look in the convert section to your left you would have found the answer to your question. I think you need to sit back and STFU for a second. You don't know how to do it, so who are you to question someone who knows how to do it and can help you ? No one here owes you anything so in the future, if you require help, do a bit of research before you post and don't question the help offered to you.

I provided 4 solutions that all would have worked. What more do you want ?

I can guarantee that I could be helpful to you in the future if this question is anything to go by.

[DW]

It would have been too easy to take a cheap shot at you and...

Exactly my point. If this entered your mind, then you shouldnt have posted at all. Didnt your mother tell you "if you dont have anything nice to say..."
Besides, if you had read my posts, you would have seen that I did look at other posts as well as read the guides. Hell, I even linked to one:

-----------

Yes, it would.

Please explain to me how purchasing the DVD (even though I made it clear that this was not possible in this case) would help to teach me how to convert a vob to an svcd.
-----------

I provided 4 solutions that all would have worked.

Incorrect. And I explained how they were incorrect. Now, I suppose you will childishly retort "NO!" and this could go back and forth. If you do, please EXPLAIN how, say, #1 or #2 of your suggestions would "have worked" considering my situation (keeping in mind the original was not a DVD for sale, and I dont have a DVD burner). If you cannot EXPLAIN, then please dont waste either of our times with childishness.
-----------

I can guarantee that I could be helpful to you in the future

Forget it. Dont bother yourself. There are many nice people here (yay videohelp.com!!) that Im sure are willing to lend a hand. I dont want your help. Should I have another question in the future, dont bother to waste your time (you know, with posting pictures, and saying "Buy the DVD!!").

Mods, feel free to lock this thread up.

[jimmalenko]

You are entitled to your opinion, although I must say that you are being ignorant of a couple of things.

[jimmalenko]

Exactly my point. If this entered your mind, then you shouldnt have posted at all. Didnt your mother tell you "if you dont have anything nice to say..."

I'll post how I see fit, thankyou.

Let's me see if I understand this correctly... YOU explained to ME how MY solutions for YOU were incorrect (given you didn;t know what I was talking about)...


That is laughable. For your benefit I have outlined the full extent of my suggestions below. As I have already mentioned, there are plenty of guides that include the bottom two suggestions, but you obviously didn't look really hard. I suppose you'll claim you searched for hours and hours...

***

The easiest way would be to purchase the DVD you have downloaded.

If it ain't available in shops then this isn't an option. That's fine, I said easiest. No need to get your back up over that.

***

The second easiest way would be to burn these files to a DVD.

Again, burn straight to DVD instead of the hours and hours of converting, re-encoding, getting things in sync, etc etc. We're talking easier again. It is quite easy for someone to come here and say, "I want to put a part of this to SVCD" without any grasp of eactly what they have to do. Often it would be easier to just burn the DVD. If this isn't you, well fine, disregard it.

***

The third easiest way would be to load the VOB files into DVD2AVI...

Load into DVD2AVI, frameserve to TMPGEnc, outputting SVCD or VCD compatible MPEGs, ready to author, then burn. Will take a bit of knowledge regarding settings but there are plenty of guides. Searching would have produced these guides.

***

The fourth easiest way would be to load the VOB files into VirtualDub-MPEG2...

Load into VirtualDub-MPEG2, edit, frameserve into TMPGEnc, outputting SVCD or VCD compatible MPEGs, ready to author, then burn. Will take a bit of knowledge regarding settings but there are plenty of guides. Searching would have produced these guides.

***

So you see, if you want to learn anything, you need to STFU and LISTEN. That's why you have two ears and one mouth.

[DW]

Ah, so finally you admit that, while you made some "suggestions," they dont apply here or to me!! contratulations, jimmalenko!! You have finally come around. Next time your car gets a flat tire, how about i suggest filling it up with gas? or getting the fuel pump replaced?

The last two suggestions included: (1) loading a vob. as i stated:

i did that (only using ProCoder instead). It gave me 22 different files, all various stuff, plus 3 MORE .vob files.

Aug 02, 2004 20:22
You have proven over and over again your inability to read a thread. 'twas not the loading i was having problems with, but:

it must be a setting somewhere. I just dont know what or where.

This is what you failed to provide me with, which proves how little you read the actual thread.

Of course, i have stated over and over again that i read various guides, and did a search. i even linked to one. if thats not enough proof for you, then i dont know what is. I, my young friend, know how to read the guides and search for previous posts. You, on the other hand, need a helping hand getting through a single thread.

[jimmalenko]

It's not worth the effort.

Good luck in your travels.

[indolikaa]

I, my young friend, know how to read the guides and search for previous posts. You, on the other hand, need a helping hand getting through a single thread.

That's ******* funny.

You are asking for help on a subject that was, prior to the widespread availability of DVD burners, the single most-important reason why people visited this website: DVD to VCD/SVCD conversions. And you're telling us that you can't figure it out?!

Who's the person who needs his hand held?

Dumbass!

[DW]

indolikaa, ah, too bad you have had nothing to do with this topic, yet you are still insecure enough to to come in here blabbing. really, you shouldnt let these internet threads get to you so personally. i sure hope this doesn't keep you up at night.

jimmalenko,
seems like you've got nothin left. nothing left to say at all. good thing, cuz all you were doing was talking in circles.

Oh that's rich. And original, too. I think I know who you are, the grammatical patterns are VERY familiar. I think perhaps it's time we checked your IP address. Shall we?

[FOO]

I think the guy is talented. I don't think I can make
DVD2SVCD produce VOB files unless they added an authoring
capability to it while I wasn't watching ?

The name is still DVD 2 SVCD , right ?

[jimmalenko]

jimmalenko,
seems like you've got nothin left. nothing left to say at all. good thing, cuz all you were doing was talking in circles.

I need to learn how to dumb it down to terms a 2 year old will understand when you're in the room. Then maybe I won't appear so mesmerizing.

Whatever you do, don't use any number higher than 20. He'll run out of appendages. Cuz he's so smart.

[gitreel]

I am sorry....I just can't help it

Jim, you tried but you can't teach the stupid.....

He is not worth it.

[jimmalenko]

OK, for the love of god, we'll try one last time.

Let's just revisit the vital info, shall we ?

Load into DVD2AVI, frameserve to TMPGEnc, outputting SVCD or VCD compatible MPEGs, ready to author, then burn. Will take a bit of knowledge regarding settings but there are plenty of guides. Searching would have produced these guides.

This guide spells this exact method out step by step. Aptly titled "The newbies guide to fitting a movie on one CD using TMPGEnc".

***

just when you thought it couldn't get any better than that:

Load into VirtualDub-MPEG2, edit, frameserve into TMPGEnc, outputting SVCD or VCD compatible MPEGs, ready to author, then burn. Will take a bit of knowledge regarding settings but there are plenty of guides. Searching would have produced these guides.

This guide spells this exact method out step by step. Aptly titled "How to frameserve with VirtualDub".

***

All egos aside, instead of arguing with me, how about actually trying the methods listed in these two guides ? Both these guides output to VCD or SVCD compliant MPEG files, just like DVD2SVCD. If you try it and it's not for you, that's OK - at least you tried. You're never going to know unless you try it though.

Amazing that these two guides are in the guides section here.

***

And the moral of this story is:

If at first you don't search properly,
search, search and search some more.


P.S. I wasn't the one that posted this picture:

Ah, yes. The old "I downloaded my friend's home movie" excuse

Since this is a one-to-one (you and your friend), have him burn you a copy and send it in the mail. Mailing a DVD is like 60 cents.

OR...
He could do the "work" for you, then you could simply download the smaller file (SVCD or VCD).

BTW, Where in God's green ******* Earth did you find an email provider that let's you send 4 Gigs of files???

BTW (part II): My mother always told me "Go get 'em, kiddo!"
