Extract all images from VOB?

[Diana (Cda)]

I couldn't find a tool to do this when I went into the search function. I looked for VOB2 and then under DVD. So also hoping I'm posting to the right forum.

I ripped a DVD last night. It has about 10 menus that have 1 to 4 images in each. Instead of doing this manually, was hoping of a freeware method to just batch convert all the menu VOBs into their constituent images (preferably in PNG output format rather than BMP or JPG images. BMP too large, JPGs to lossy, often).

Is there anything that can do that, anyone know?

The ideal would be to just batch the following, say:

VTS_08_1.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_03_1.VOB
VTS_04_1.VOB
VTS_05_1.VOB
VTS_06_1.VOB
VTS_07_1.VOB

so that as an example, VTS_08_1.VOB would produce output something like:

VTS_08_1 1.png
VTS_08_1 2.png
VTS_08_1 3.png
VTS_08_1 4.png

for the 4 images it contains.

Thanks for any help re this.

Cheers.

I don't know if you can do it in batch mode (ie, automated from the command line) but VirtualDub with the MPEG source plugin can import a VOB then export as a numbered series of PNG images (with whatever base name you want). You can limit the range if you want using the mark-in, mark-out tools.

ffmpeg could also be used to do the deed when called in a batch,.. see: http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/19-ffmpeg-commands-for-all-needs
