Hi,
I just got my hands on DVD MovieFactory 6 recently and I've been trying to burn Vob and Ogm files to a DVD, only to find out that my DVD MovieFactory can't read the files. And when I try and force it to open the files, it comes up a with the error "Fileformat mismatch.."
I've tried installing various codecs in hopes that it would solve the problem, such as:
ffdshow, divx codec pack and media player codec pack
But none seem to have helped. Is there anything I can do to make it able to read those two file types or is it simply impossible with DVD Moviefactory? I've also tried converting from both file formats to avi, but it loses the dual audio functions and subtitles. And also most of my files are in those two formats, so it would save me a lot of time if I could just avoid converting them into another file type.
Thanks in advance.
Ogm or Vob File Format Mismatch?
Re: Ogm or Vob File Format Mismatch?
I don't have all of the answers... I think this will involve several steps and several different software tools. How much effort do you want to put into this?
The OGM files may be a problem if they have multiple soundtracks and/or subtitles. (I've never used OGM.)
What's the story on the VOB files? Do you have a DVD, or a copy of a DVD on your hard drive? (i.e. AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS folders?)
Are you simply trying to copy of a DVD, or are you trying to make an edited copy of the DVD? You should be able to "import" the DVD into Movie Factory, but you'll only get one soundtrack, and I think you'll loose the subtitles.
Movie Factory can copy a DVD with multple soundtracks, but it can only make DVDs with one audio track (and it cannot import or copy commercial copy-protected DVDs).
If you want to make a DVD with multiple audio tracks, you can try DVD-Lab ($130 - $250 USD) or DVD Styler (FREE!!!).
Normally when you make an "advanced" or "professional" DVD, you start-out with separate video, audio, and subtitle files (in the correct format). Then, you feed these separate files into your DVD-authoring program. So, you'll probably need to extract or "demultiplex" these "streams" into separate files as a 1st step.
