An app that will convert VOB files into individual episodes?

Hello,
So I have a DVD that I converted a bunch of TV shows onto using Visual Hub. The problem is I get 18 hours but it converts into VOB files.
Is there an application that will convert VOB files into MP4 format but make them into individual episodes?

Thanks, I did try it but maybe I'm doing it wrong. Think what I want is impossible. I want to take a VOB file that has like 5 shows on it and want the output of that to be 5 individual mp4's so I can pick and choose what I want to go on my ipod.
I think you must have done it wrong.
For a start. forget about VOB files - there's no need to mess around with them if you use Handbrake. Simply put your DVD in the DVD drive of your Mac and tell Handbrake to use that DVD as the source - it will help you with the rest of the procedure.
You will find that Handbrake interprets the information on the DVD as individual episodes (top of the page, choose the "title" drop-down menu), giving you the running time of each one. Just choose a particular episode, give it an output file name and add it to the queue. Then select the next episode and give that a different file name. When you've finished, simply run the queue and it will convert them all into the individual files you've specified.
If you find an episode that appears to be longer than all the rest, this is usually the one that contains all the episodes for the 'play all episodes' feature on your DVD. Leave that one out of the queue.
It's not always obvious which episode is which (as they aren't always stored in the correct order on the DVD) so you can just give each file an arbitrary name for now, then watch the resulting mp4 files and name them appropriately at that stage.
There is also a guide to ripping TV Shows for your iPod on the Handbrake website (with pictures) if you find my description confusing.

    The procedure is dated and I will assume that the DVD is not copy-protected since discussion of such things is verboten.

    I could not find any app that would do this. There are different types of message apps but nothing that I could find to do what I am looking for. For a specific contact I would like the message to have a notification that will not go away until I acknowledge it. Just like you would do if it was a pager.

  • What software will convert .MTS files to something that will open in Final Cut Express?

    I need a reccomendation for a software that will convert .MTS file to a file type that Final Cut Express HD will recognize.

    Thanks for your reply, Martin.
    What I'm doing is converting an .MTS file to .mp4 using HandBrake. FinalCut Express opens the .mp4 files (sometimes) but they have pixellation with huge squares all over the screen. I'm guessing it has to do with keyframes. So that's why I'm trying to convert it. When I open the .mp4 file in QuickTime in order to Export as QuickTime Movie I select these options for AIC:
    This is what the QT Inspector window shows for each:
    mp4 file
    mov file
    Format
    MPEG-4(Perian), 1920x1080, MIllions, AAC, Stereo (LR), 48,000 kHz
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR), 48,000 kHz, Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440x1080 (1888x1062), Millions
    FPS
    29.97
    30.33
    Normal Size
    1920 x 1080 pixels
    1888x1062 pixels
    The problem is, I'm only guessing which settings to use. Is there information somewhere that spells that out? Should I be doing something different when I convert the .MTS file in the first place?

  • Is there an iPad app that will let me read a pdf be able to type notes that I can save as a separate plain text file?

    In researching a subject, I would like to be able to read several pdfs in succession and keep adding to a text document where I keep notes.
    I have seen iPad apps that will let you mark up a pdf, but I would like to have one text file that I keep all my typed notes as a compilation on a subject.
    desirable but not critical:
    Ideally a split screen where you can have see the pdf and your notes at the same time.
    It would be even better if you could copy and paste text from pdf into the note.
    It would be great if you could copy a figure into the note (as I can do w/ la partial screen capture on my mac laptop)
    I welcome your suggestions if you know of any iPad apps that you think would be useful for the above.
    Thanks,
    Kevin Lease

    Go to settings> general and scroll down to multitasking geastures, turn them on and by swiping with four fingers from the right side of the iPad to the left and back you can switch between apps. I think this is what you need I'm not sure, I hope it helps

  • CONVERTING and IMPORTING .VOB files into FCP?

    Hi.
    I made a dvd of an old vhs tape of mine using a Sony consumer vhs-->dvd component.
    Haven't had any trouble in the past using MPEG streamclip to convert .vob files and import into fcp (from dvd's NOT made on this particular machine) --but for some reason, this dvd doesn't seem to contain those files.
    The icon of the dvd appears as a folder on my desktop with a small red circle on it.
    The dvd plays fine on my G5, but the folder appears to be empty when opened.
    I'm stumped.
    Anyone?

    Buy or hire one of these: http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcprofessionalfamily then you can capture the tape directly into FCP as a QuickTime .mov that uses the DV codec.
    Don't forget to switch the *Device Control* setting in Log & Capture to *Non-Controllable Device* first.

    just google remote desktop for ipad. I cant think of the names, but know there are a few remote apps out there for iPad. Some require additional software to be installed on the remote machine, to interpret the touches from the ipad to mouse movements and clicks on the host.

  • How to turn VOB files into DVD Movie

    I came across a computer that had something like a "DVD MOVIE" file.
    It was basically vob files packaged inside a "DVD MOVIE" so when you clicked on it, it would
    play like a dvd movie.  I have extracted some VOB files from a DVD disc to have
    a "VIDEO_TS" folder containing the movie, but of course I can only play the VOB files
    in a program like VLC...my question is - What do i need to do to put these vob files into
    this "DVD FILE" folder or whatever so i can just click on it and it play a normal dvd?
    It may have said "Movie file".......thanks.

    I use Roxio Toast which converts and burns the VIDEO_TS folder with the VOB files into a playable DVD. It does not come cheaply but is well worth the money. There are also a lot of converters around that will shrink and convert your VOB files to .avi or .mp4 or whatever you prefer. Just do a google search or go to the App Store. MPEGStreamclip is a free program that is an excellent converter.

  • How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

    How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

    If I understand whatnyounare asking (and not sure I do), you may have a difficult time accomplishing that. Calendar app doesn't store documents and I don 't know of an app that will extract text from a PDF and place it in a calendar entry automatically. Check the app store - I could be wrong - but you will have to handle that manually.
    Many apps that read PDF will allow you to copy text, including GoodReader mentioned above.

  • Converting VOB Files For use in FCP

    Hello,
    I have a large FCP project using VOB files shot on a DVD Recorder.
    I have been been using a freeware called MPEG Streamclip to convert them into Quicktime Files for use with FCP7. The resulting QT files have all been very choppy when used in the FCP Timeline etc.
    I have options with this freeware to convert to MPEG, TS or export to Quicktime, DV, AVI, MPEG4 or other formats.
    Any suggestions on how to bring these VOB files into Final Cut Pro so that they work well.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Nick's tutorial is good. Read it.
    I had been using Cinematize for this but would always have trouble with the aspect ratio.
    With MPEG Streamclip I have no problems if I do it this way:
    Export to QuickTime
    Change Compression to: Apple DV/DVCPro-NTSC
    Quality: 100%
    Frame Size: 720x480 (DV-NTSC)
    Sound: Uncompressed (the default)
    Make Movie
    I do a preset of the above.
    Now, when you take that resultant file into FCP:
    In FCP make sure your sequence set-up is DV anamorphic (if footage is anamorphic/16:9). When you bring that file into FCP it will not be flagged as anamorphic. In the browser scroll over and check mark it as anamorphic. NOW drag into the timeline. Aspect ratio is good if you do it this way.

  • Importation of VOB files into FCP

    I have been importing .VOB file into FCP on a Mac Pro 8 core without any problems. Last week I bought a MacBookPro 3.06 Core 2 Duo and I reinstalled the OS and used system migration to import the programs from my Mac Pro.
    The MacBookPro will NOT open import the VOB file into FCP. Apple support said that VOB files are not supported. They suggested the power difference between the two computers allowed import in one and not the other. This does not make sense to me.
    Any thought from the experts?

    I've never known any version of FCP to work with VOB files natively or otherwise. Most people use MPEG Streamclip to convert to the format that will match their FCP Sequence settings.

    FormConnect (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1) can handle the filling out, signing, saving and emailing the contracts/forms but uploading the contract and the form is going to be a challenge because you’re dealing with paper documents that have to be scanned.  If you can convert the scanned documents into an OCR program, you might be able to copy and paste the contract without having to retype it but the form itself is probably going to have to be recreated.  Alternatively, you could use a document annotation program such as iAnnotate and mark up the contract with ink.
