Converting vob to mov

I've recently purchased an intel iMac and want to convert existing dvd .vob files to something that can stream such as .mov.
I've done a search on Google, but most apps are for Windows. I was wanting to do this without having to install boot camp and XP.
Any ideas?

Thank you SJA, that was extremely helpful After I converted the vob file using ffmepgX, I dragged the mov file into iMovie and exported it for web streaming. Now the videos should stream for WiFi without a hiss....

MPEG Streamclip

HT204382 I want to convert an .avi movie to a format where I can cut a DVD. I have OS X lion operating system

I want to convert an .ave movie to be able to create a dvd. What software do I need? Thanks

Thanks Kappy, this helped. I was able to convert the .avi file to mp4 making it possible to view the movie. However, I was unable to burn it. I downloaded a program called express burn from prism and was able to burn the .avi file to a dvd .vob. format.
If you are using a 4gb dvd you may have to change the setting to medium quality depending on the movie size. Hope this helps.

Importing/converting DVD to .mov file for FCP

I had a friend give me a homemade DVD that I want to import/convert into a .mov file for editing in FCP. I've read the threads on MPEG Streamclip, but it asks to select the file(s) to import (vs one file). Not sure if I'm on the right track.
Here's what I see on the DVD:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Piero... Congrats man... your explanation is the best simple explanation of getting material off a DVD into a form where it can be editied in FCP.
Just to make it clear to anyone else...
1- go to http://www.squared5.com/ and download the FREE program MPEG STREAMCLIP.
Install it in your applications folder. Start Mpeg Streamclip, and insert the DVD into your drive.
2- Go to FILE > OPEN and use that to navigate to the DVD, look in the video_ts file and select the first .vob file of a series, e.g. VTS010.VOB; you'll be asked if you want to open all files of that stream, and you answer yes. You'd better also apply the command Edit/Remove Timecode Breaks before exporting.
This takes a minute or three depending on how much material ois on the DVD.
3 - Now go to the Mpeg Streamclip command line and select **Export to QuickTime** (NOT Export to DV)
Use these settings :
Compression: Apple DV-PAL (DV-PAL for UK/Europe, or Apple DV-DVCPRO/NTSC), Quality: 100%,
fps: 25 for PAL or 29,97 for NTSC,
Audio: uncompressed, Stereo, 48 KHz.
AND hit go !
Mpeg Streamclip will promt you to name the new file name and a location for saving.
This can take a minute for every minute of material.. so is a slow process.
I decided to use the "in" and "out" markers on Mpeg Streamclip to define smaller chunks of the DVD to convert at a time... rather than risk it running for 40 minutes and crashing (which it did first time). If you're ripping the DVD for editing purposes then this should not cause any problems.
Once it's finished, go to the save location, and you should see a Quicktime movie with the name you gave it.
You can now go into FCP and IMPORT this Qtime move and edit it.
MARVELOUS
Thanks again Piero - this has really helped me

VOB to MOV

Anyone have any tips on a good freeware for converting VOB files to MOV?

If its material you own or have license to, MPEG Streamclip works well. But you'll get better quality by capturing from the original acquisition tapes/files. DVD-Video is highly compressed.

Converted .wmv to .mov will no longer play in quicktime

I have converted .wmv to .mov using the quicktime 7.6.4 save as feature and saved them to an external WD hard drive. They have been playing fine for months until yesterday, now i have a black quicktime screen, no sound or audio as the file plays, all that I have changed recently is that i have updated Flip4mac from 2.3.3.2 to 2.3.3.3 and updated Safari to version 4.1. I have run an Onyx maintenance scrypt and disc utility to try a repair a possible permissions or disc error, still no luck. I read an article on the Flip4mac site that suggested I export the file in quicktime, this has not worked. When viewing the files info it states the files codecs are windows media audio 9 standard*, windows media video 9 standard". After reading some other posts I installed Perian, but still no luck. If anyone can help to get these movie files operational again please advise.

I got an answer on the macformat forum that works, refer the attached link

How do I convert wmv to mov files for fcp?

I have tried a couple of different conversion programs to convert a wmv file to mov or mp4, and all seem to result in a viewable mp4, but when I import into final cut and try to put the footage into my sequence, it won't render. The sound renders, but the video remains "unrendered." I'm using a Pro res 422 sequence. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?
Thanks

Does Quicktime Pro convert VOB DVD files?

I'm very new to DVD although not to Macs (Thankfully). I'm ripping my hair out trying to convert Canon (rewriteable) dvds into a format the Mac will read. (Windows seems to support all dvds with Ulead etc....) Will Quicktime Pro convert VOB files into something I can play back on the Mac? I assume from other postings the files should be in MPEG-2 format. If not, what on earth can I buy that will do the job simply and cheaply....

Try Mpeg StreamClip: ( http://www.squared5.com ) it's free. It will convert from VOB to DV, QT and several other formats, but you will have to have the Mpeg 2 codec on your Mac to use it, that can be purchased here, ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ ) if you don't have it already.
Another sharware program for transcoding, to different formats and can burn to DVD when it finished transcoding is called VisualHub, found here: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/tryit.php . It comes with the codecs, (via a free download after VH is installed.
It costs $23.32USD

How to convert mpeg to .mov format

I am trying to upload a 3 minute movie clip to attach to an e-mail document. I converted it to mpeg. However, it is 59 mg and thus, too big to upload. After reading some of the posts on this site, I thinks that I must convert it to .mov in order for it to upload. Am I understanding this correctly?
Note that I don't want to compress the video so that it is of poor quality. If this is the procedure, how do I convert my mpeg file to .mov?
Note that I used Streamclip to do the conversion from the dvd.

Here you go. In this example, we've taken a short video and dumped into a folder we've created on our desktop called "yourvideo." Now, follow these steps to encrypt your video, upload it and get a download link you can email to others.
1) Open SimplyRar, and drag and drop the yourvideo folder into the application's window. It will appear as shown below:

2) Tick the password protect box at bottom and enter a password for your file as shown below:
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8799/25ry.jpg
3) Click on the "create rar" icon on the upper left and a box will open asking you where to save your new file, as shown below. In this example, I named the rar yourvideo and saved it to my desktop:
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3408/33le1.jpg
4) Once the process is complete, you can close the SimplyRar application:

5) Now go to www.rapidshare.de and select "choose file." Navigate to your file and select it, as shown below:

6) Click on the upload button, and your screen will show you the upload status (this is in Safari):
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6707/63yn.jpg
7) Once the upload is complete, you'll get this page. Locate the link as shown below. It is the active link you would send to friends in order for them to access your video file. Remember, they will also need the password you chose to .rar the file.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

Converting purchased Lost movie from my APPLE to my PC.

Can anyone help? I use a Apple computer and a windows computer. I purchase the first and second seasons of LOST on my Apple computer. I would like to play them on my PC. IS THIS POSSIBLE WITHOUT PURCHASING FROM MY PC?
Seems like I should be able to convert from a .MOV to whatever format the Windows plays them in. I am not even shure what format the Windows uses if you download a movie from ITUNES.
Thanks in advance, Dave.

DRM stand for Digital Rights Management - all iTMS purchases are drm'ed, preventing those files to be converted.
The files itself are the same regardless if bought using a mac or a windoze PC - just transfer those files.
