How do I convert a VOB file so I can use it in iMovie

A family member converted our old super 8 movies to dvd. It has narration but I just want to pull clips from it to make an iMovie. Is there software available for Mac users. I have iLife, iWork and CS3 installed. I also have a few other programs on my Mac at my work desk including Toast Shake Final Cut. I am new to this process I just don't know what I need to do make this work for me. I am hoping to have this for a surprise party in two weeks. Any Help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Apple discussions, fairy dogmother (gotta love that screen name).
The two best applications for exporting clips from VOBs are MPEG Streamclip and Miraizon's Cinematize. The advantage of these is that you can select and export just the parts you want. Toast can do the export and conversion but you can't select anything other than individual chapters or entire movies.

    Hi Genny, never heard of that file type, but it appears to be a Creative Labs Video Blaster Digital VCR  file & that is the only App that can work with it, then only on Windows.
    See if they have other export options on the sending end.

  • How do i convert m4p to m4a so I can use in serato dj?

    I just purchased a pioneer ddj-sx and serato dj. I'm trying to import some songs from iTunes and serato will only import m4a files and not m4p.  Can I convert my purchased iTunes songs from m4p to m4a?

    Thanks for your quick reply.  It worked for most of the tracks I wanted.  I have one album that only one out of eight tracks would download as m4a the rest came back m4p.  Thanks again for your help. 
    For those few remaining ones, use iTunes to burn them to audio CD, and then rip back from the CD to MP3 or AAC.

    How do I convert an ASP file into a PDF?

    None of the free Adobe Reader products (Adobe Reader Touch, Adobe Reader for iOS/Android, Adobe Reader XI for desktop) provide the support for converting ASP to PDF.
    Acrobat XI Pro and Standard (which are not free) can convert an ASP page into PDF.
    Please note that Acrobat XI Pro, Standard, and Reader XI are not compatible with the Windows RT operating system.

    Everybody's wrong wrong wrong. You don't need garageband. Select the song, go to info. You need to select a start and stop time for the song that can't be any longer than 40 seconds in length. Then in advanced mode you convert the song to acc. once done locate the file on the computer. it should end in .m4a . Change the a to an r so it reads .m4r Drag the file to the desktop, double click and it ends up in ringtones folder.
    That's it! Works every time. Or for those who want easier:

  • How do I convert AIFF song files in iTunes to ACC files to fit iPod?

    How do I convert AIFF song files in iTunes to ACC files to fit iPod? My AIFF files are appartently bigger per song than ACC files. How do I convert an AIFF song or playlist in iTunes to ACC files so they take up less room. Right now I can only fit 50 songs as opposed to 500 songs. The songs are already in iTunes as AIFF files. Most of the songs I inport are original songs from CD's that are already AIFF files. How do I convert them when going into my iPod?

    Thank you so much! I now know how to convert AIFF audio files to ACC files, and I can keep the original AIFF file! One other concern though -- how do I tell which is the bigger AIFF file and which is the new smaller ACC file? iTunes doesn't have an obvious place/window that tells me the audio file size. Is there a way to tell the two apart. It looks like it creates an identical file name, not even a "copy" extension or anything -- so it's impossible to tell them apart. Is there another secret here?
