Video ts/ audio ts

[minggnim]

I've got these files on my hard drive and I want to convert them to mpeg or avi.
I've searched this site, but I can't find anything in layman's terms that addresses this.
Any help out there?
Thanks.

You have DVD video, you can convert the vobs to mpeg with VOB2MPEG, or look up a DVD to Avi guide.

I see in the comment section of the link you gave me, that it doesn't work with XP Pro. I use XP Pro.

it doesn't work with XP Pro.

Can anyone confirm this about Vob2mpeg?

Personally I use Mpeg Video Wizard to edit DVD video or Tmpgenc DVD Author to re-author. I haven't used vob2mpeg and have only seen it recommended.

Dvd to avi guides: click here.

you can download a 30 day trial of TDA Pro that will convert the dvd video to a single mpeg file. Just open the program and tell it you want to import video from dvd. Point to the Video_TS Folder and it will ask you if you want to save the data to the hard drive first. Say yes and it will build an mpeg wherever you specify. Once it does that just cancel the project/close TDA Pro.

vob2mpeg works fine with my winxp pro.

I tried TDA16. It doesn't accept videoTS files.

video ts is a folder, not a file. you have to point to the video ts folder and tell it you are importing a dvd video.

minggnim, TDA 1.6 will accept the vob files if it an activated version.
I do it all the time.

[greymalkin]

even the trial version will do it. I just did it with the trial version this weekend. You have FULL functionality for 30 days.

I just did some reading on AutoGK, but too many comments on spyware in the program.

Whoaaa, so many issues to address


1. No offense, but you must have overlooked the Guides and Tools sections when you were looking

2. VOB2MPG works fine on XP Pro.


3. TMPGEnc DVD Author can import VIDEO_TS folders - just use the Add DVD Video button and point it to the VIDEO_TS folder. Then tell it to cache to your hard drive and it will save an MPEG file for you.


4. AutoGK had spyware - the latest comments clearly show that it does not have it any more. And besides, for the versions that did have it, it's a piece of piss to disable anyway.

[minggnim]

TDA keeps asking for "audio and title" and there are no choices.
I'm sure I overlooked some guides. Finding anything here is nearly impossible, unless you know exactly where to go.
I have NEVER, found anything I was looking for here.
The only way I can get help here is to ask someone for help. Which I really appreciate.
I've had too many hard drives screwed up by software with "no Spyware".

[jimmalenko]

You should get something like this:




There's boxes up the top of both the Guides and Tools pages where I just selected "DVD to AVI" and "DVD to MPG" in each one to get the links I provided earlier.


I can assure you that AutoGK is fine and won't screw your hard drive.

[minggnim]

Both windows are blank when I try it.

[minggnim]

AutoGK won't start on my puter.

I see in the comment section of the link you gave me, that it doesn't work with XP Pro. I use XP Pro.

It was written on XP Pro!!!

[minggnim]

I've given up on these programs.
Thank the Gods for RW-DVD's .
I have enough coasters.

[greymalkin]

maybe it's time to get re-acquainted with the vcr.

[minggnim]

You're right.
One standard format that works.
