| 614406 | 2007-11-23 21:17:00 | I have a DVD with a Video_TS film clip that was made for me by a commercial outfit from an old video. It contains VOB, IFO & BUP files which do not seem very workable and it seems that my best plan would be to convert the VOB & IFO files, at least, to MPG. Two of the things are to be able to edit to cut out some junk and not so good features.... the other is to make copies after doing that to send to rellies overseas. I have found out that by copying the DVD to my hard-drive I can have a go without losing the original in case it does not work. A search of the web tells me that usually just changing the extension VOB to MPG will work (sometimes not). If it does not work then I still have the DVD. Do I change the extension names of IFO (which apparently stand for information) & BUP files too ? (I did a search on PressF1 for VOB and came up with nothing at all) Furthermore - am I following the best plan ? Misty :confused: |

| 614409 | 2007-11-23 21:26:00 | Nerovision can load vob, I think thats the main file on a DVD. You should be able to edit it then reburn it. But the plugin for it may not be free. Well any video editing program should load it, and let you edit / reburn it. |

Well any video editing program should load it, and let you edit / reburn it. Okay Speedy - I will have a go. At present am on the laptop upstairs and have loaded the DVD on that. Pretty sure I have Nerovision on the PC downstairs so will load onto the hard-drive there and have a go. I did get put off a bit as had tried to copy the DVD (without editing) using Nero Express and it did not work. I put that down to it being a VOB file - but that may well have been a wrong assumption. Will try using Nerovision thanks, Misty :) |

| 614411 | 2007-11-23 22:01:00 | Maybe have a look at video help com (http://www.videohelp.com/), under the how to section. There are various format conversions, articles, etc that may help... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 614412 | 2007-11-23 23:53:00 | Nerovision can load vob, I think thats the main file on a DVD. I have Nerovision Express 3 Maybe only a fuller version will load VOB because when I choose "Open Saved Project or Disc Image" it gives the options NeroVision Express Project .nvc All Disc Image files Nero Image files .nrg Cue Image files .cue Iso Image files .iso Tried each option separately but none would open. You would think that choosing the "All Disc Image files" would be the clincher -- but it does not like the VIDEO_TS and won't open. Likewise I tried the "Make Movie" option of Nerovision Express and still no joy ! Misty :( |

In the full version, its under Make DVD / DVD-Video, add video files. or Make Movie / browse. This is where you add the vob file. BUT you may only get this far, if u select one of the above and it says the video plugin has been detected. You could try this (http://www.cdburnerxp.se) Not too sure if it does vob tho, but its free. Dont know if you can edit with it either. |
