Help converting VOB files to mpeg
- Thread starter Zoey
- Start date
I use a program called "handbrake" on the Mac, it's free, simple, fast and safe. They also have a version for PC and Linux, although I haven't tried it on those platforms. Check it out on http://handbrake.fr
...And post the video when ur done!

Dah, probably would help if I included that info wouldn't it?What platform, and what do you want it converted to
Windows, mp4 or wmv (whichever is more usable for most people).
Thanks Dave....I keep thinking more and more that it's time to get a Mac.
Easier than you might think.
Convert VOB (DVD) To MPEG Files- No Recoding - Video
To get to wmv or mp4 (and combine multiple files) you'll still need other programs.

Thanks for the reply. I changed the files to mpg. I tried combining the two videos into a single, but windows live movie maker won't recognize the second video. It does recognize the first video. Any ideas?
Just renaming the extension is not 100% guaranteed to work. VOB files can have other formats embedded in them (for subtitles, other audio encoding for example) that are not part of the mp4 standard. Even the video Bob linked to states that this method may or may not work.
Handbrake is very good, as is VLC. Both exist for Windows, Mac and Linux, and both are free.

Thanks, I'm off to check out Handbrake. I can't believe that this is becoming such a hassle! You'd think it would be a super simple process.
Using Handbrake and VLC is actually pretty easy.
