| 786032 | 2009-06-26 03:59:00 | Hi, can anyone please reccommend a cheap (or better still free), easy to use programme similar to Windows Movie Maker that will work with .vob (DVD) files. I need to edit some .vob media but its does not need to be TV quality. I am looking for something like WMM as I know this programe and it would mean that I didn't need to learn a new setup. Any suggestions and web links appreciated. Cheers | Aporosa (5671) | ||
| 786033 | 2009-06-26 04:12:00 | Maybe you could convert the VOB files to avi then edit with MM? | Blam (54) | ||
| 786034 | 2009-06-26 04:17:00 | Yip, have done that in the past but then you loose alot of quality. The final product doesn't have to be flash, but I would like to keep the quality. Unless you know of aan easy (free) way to convery vob to high quality AVI, mmmmm, that would be good!! | Aporosa (5671) | ||
| 786035 | 2009-06-26 05:39:00 | Not sure what sort of editing you want to do, But I use DVD Knife to extract clips from DVDs. It's freeware and less than 4MB. www.vcsoftwares.com |

| 786036 | 2009-06-26 06:15:00 | I asked a question similar not so long ago. It turned out that WMM and this (http://videospin.com/)are about the best free products on the market (I never got round to trying the latter though). I tried some free open source software, but it was a bit buggy and didn't feel "ready" if you know what I mean ;). |

| 786038 | 2009-06-27 01:03:00 | Thanks jwil1!! I like nice simple solutions!! BUT this has created another issue: I changed the file extension from . vob to . mpg . I CAN open and play the file in Windows Media Player but when I try to import the file into Windows Movie Maker a window pops up saying: "The file C:\DVD Temp files\Southern Lau\VTS_01_1 . MPG cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer . If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again . " Thanks Windows for telling me the actual codex name, derrr!! And why will Windows Media Player play it then?? Ok, so I ran G-Spot and it says all is fine . I turned on the Windows Movie Maker, Tools/ Options/ Download codecs automatically and nothing, but still the same problem . I then had a look on the net and the MS Windows site but couldn't find THE codex . Can someone please tell me if they have had this problem and what codex (direct me to the actual link) they used . Man, always a drama with computers . . . . . . . . . . cheers |

It's freeware and less than 4MB. www.vcsoftwares.com I tried downloading that utility (finally after finding the download button amongst all the Google ads :annoyed: ) but my ESET AntiVirus found it was infected with "probably a variant of Win32/Adware.Agent.NMA application" :crying I didn't get a chance to try it out because ESET quarantined it immediately. |

| 786040 | 2009-06-27 04:59:00 | If you're just wanting to trim / chop them, then use DVDShrink :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 786041 | 2009-06-27 06:26:00 | No, I'm not wanting to crop or know about DVD Knife. Can someone please help with answering what codex I need and where do I find it - the question as posed here: I changed the file extension from .vob to .mpg. I CAN open and play the file in Windows Media Player but when I try to import the file into Windows Movie Maker a window pops up saying: "The file C:\DVD Temp files\Southern Lau\VTS_01_1.MPG cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again."
