converting .vob into a movie file

[Cops]

I'm trying to convert a .vob file into some type of quick time file, .mpg, wma, etc etc. I tried to change the file exstension to .mpg or .mpeg after reading that it worked but finalcut does not recognize the file type.

I need to turn this into something I can edit with final cut express HD

i just had to do this a few months ago for one of my wife's school projects. if i recall after hours of frustration i ended up using some spyware bundled conversion tool that did it but in horrible quality. hope you have better luck

I needed to convert youtube videos into .wmv files, so my friend told me to download Cinema Forge. You can also use it to convert a video to another format. Not sure if it works with .vob, but you can try.

i always thought that .vob was mpeg-2

i can rename it and play it in VLC fine but i guess importing to final cut is different

i used to use this converter it can probably transcode it to a format final cut can recognise

i haven't used it in a while and i'm not sure it's been updated though so it might have been surpassed

going to try virtual hub later today, it's on one of the machines at my work.

it worked, virtual hub has a shit load of options for converting video.

i'll be using it in the future for sure. thanks for the help everyone.

I prefer virtual dub, but whatever floats your boat

I ain't ever heard of "virtual hub" or even "virtual dub". Sounds like some crazy-ass spyware to me. I like using virtualdub though, it's really good at editing video.
