Can not add VOB files

Post by cmiriel »

Can someone help, I can not add VOB files on Movie Factory 5, I can import them but I can only import one film at a time.
I want to combinme several films on one DVD, I am probably missing a codec but I do not know what codec I am missing.
I can add two AVI files with no problem, but VOB files can not I get a message saying:
Film.s013.dvdrip.xvid-wat\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB is not accessible.
Thanks

That's normal. Import the whole program as an MPEG file, trim-out whatever you don't want, and take it from there.

VOB files are a special DVD-formatted type of MPEG-2 file. They are not structured like complete files. They are essentially 1GB fragments/sections of one big file. Sometimes you can get away with renaming the VOB file to .MPG, and sometimes this doesn't work.

Vob files

Post by cmiriel »

Before I upgraded my system I could just go to te add files and add the vob's one after the other and made ione dvd with two or three films, now I cant, I could not opèn or addan AVI file, now I loaded some codecs and I can, so I know it is a question of codecs, just do not know what codecs to add.
On Version 6 I could bever add a Vob file but on version 5 I had no problem.
It is quite upsetting, if I import the vob file it will i,port only one, how can I import another one to make a dvd with two or more films in it.
thanks
