| 428400 | 2006-02-08 06:33:00 | They are a fomr of Mpeg i guess but there are different version of mpeg. eg, Mpeg-1 Mpeg-2 Mpeg-4 etc. I think DVD's are encoded in Mpeg-4. either way the files are .vob. I need to convert them into Mpeg-1 or just standard mpeg (they are the same). as this is the standard mpeg that all media players can play.. Unfortunately the porgram there only compresses the .vob files, it doesnt actually convert them to mpeg. thanks for your time tho |

| 428401 | 2006-02-08 06:37:00 | DVD is mpeg2. easy way to do what you want is to rip to VOB, then use Virtualdubmod to encode the vob files to whatever your after. Haze (i think that was his handle) uses a method to extract the mpeg file from the DVD , worth a try if your keen. |

| 428402 | 2006-02-08 06:38:00 | You need something like Nero (http://www.nero.com) Or Nerovision from the same site. The only thing is, if u wanna burn a DVD, you may need a plugin. (If you have a DVD burner). Or try this (http://www.cdburnerxp.se/) Its free, dunno how good it is tho. Never used it. Or this (http://www.jetaudio.com) the basic version. Not too sure if the basic version gives u the video conversion options tho. |

| 428404 | 2006-02-08 06:57:00 | thank you, but unfortunately this does not convert o mpeg-1 | mattyjb (7993) | ||
| 428405 | 2006-02-08 07:19:00 | Haze (i think that was his handle) uses a method to extract the mpeg file from the DVD , worth a try if your keen. Yeah, it only requires 1 program, which is freeware too. thank you, but unfortunately this does not convert o mpeg-1 Out of interest, why do you specifically need MPEG-1 video? I ask because it's an outdated compression system which was prominent about 15 years ago. The only thing I can think of which actually used it, apart from computers, was VCD's which didn't take off here. If you need something to fit on a CD, and fit in a DVD player, use SVCD instead, uses MPEG-2, like DVD's, and is MUCH better quality. |

| 428406 | 2006-02-08 07:41:00 | Hi, ill explain the scenario a little better. I have just got myself a 60G slimline portable Hard drive. I have a few DVD's I would like to have portable copy's of to watch where ever when ever on anyones computer. To me Mpeg-1 seems most logical. It is compact and has reasonably good quality. Do you know of a better format i should look at? | mattyjb (7993) | ||
| 428407 | 2006-02-08 07:52:00 | DivX and/or XviD are very popular, and offer very impressive compression rates while maintaining good quality video. Programs like AutoGK can rip DVDs and encode to XviD in one hit. |
