dvd vob file to wmv

[efiste2]

whats a good vob file to an avi converter or vob to any file that TMPGenc express can use,

TMPGenc Express can handle (unprotected) VOB files anyway, but if you want to turn a VOBset into a single mpeg in just a couple of minutes get VOB2MPG: https://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=VOB2MPG

IF you want a simple, powerful VOB-AVI converter try Mpeg Mediator SE: http://www.divxland.org/software.php (near the bottom of the page). This will take a VOBset and output a single AVI.

thanks for helping, but i cant get tmpgnc express to recognise my vob files, is it because theyre contained in VIDEO_TS folders, sorry to be a newbie!!!

vob2mpg can extract a/v out of a VOB to mpg without reencoding. Why do you want to reencode?

Well in that case just use the VOB2MPG program to change the VOBs into a single mpeg. There's no encoding involved-point VOB2MPG to your VIDEO_TS folder, choose your output destination and you'll have your mpeg in a couple of minutes. You're probably best changing your VOBs into a single, seamless mpeg anyway- there's less chance of a 'jump' between files that way.

thats a great prograsm, the trouble i am having now is that, i am using WINDOWS MEDIA ENCODER to encode the MPEG file to WMV, but the output is really jerky, and pauses...........is this the setting i am using in WINDOWS MEDIA ENCODER, i can only get a frame rate 0f 29.7 fps. is this too slow,

[brayn]

29.97 fps is correct if your TV standard is NTSC (eg USA). For PAL TV it would be 25 fps. There is one thing I would have to say though: unless you have a very good reason for encoding to WMV I really wouldn't bother. DivX or XviD are the more obvious choices if you're converting from mpeg; a lot of stand-alone DVD players now support DivX/XviD playback and you have more control over the encoding process than with WMV. At any rate, you want to try a DivX conversion just to check if you get the same jerkiness in the finished file or not.

as far as i know the xbox360 will only play WMV files, so i guess im stuck with it, thanks so much for helping me out though, its much appreciated!!
