How to save VOB files as MPEG-2

I have some home made DVD's that a family member made for me. I want to rip and save each VOB file on the DVD to my harddrive in MPEG-2 format. It is my understanding that VOB is the same thing as MPEG-2, which is why I want to save the VOB files as a MPEG-2, so I dont lose quality; size and space is not a concern.
I used to be able to do this with ease on Windows using a program called Magic DVD Ripper. You would insert the DVD, select the VOB files you wanted to copy, and it would spit out the MPEG-2 equivalent, which could then be read by almost any video player without any loss in quality.
I have tried using MPEG streamclip (after purchasing the MPEG-2 component for quicktime) thinking that the program could perform this task, but it only saves as MPEG-1. I have also tried Handbrake, but it wont do this either.
Are there other ways to accomplish this task, or am I missing something? Thanks for any help.

As a practical matter, you can't please everybody, and there is no universal format that everyone can read.
I would suggest that for playback, you save your movies as h.264. This is a compressed but high quality codec that can be played on any computer that has QuickTime Player. Any Windows computer with iTunes probably has QuickTime Player, and if they don't, it is a free download.
For watching yourself, still go with h.264 (which is a subcategory of MP4). You can easily watch it in QuickTime Player, iTunes, AppleTV, etc.
For editing, I would use MPEG Streamclip to convert the VOB files to Apple Intermediate Codec in the original dimensions. When I do this, I also have MPEG Streamclip deinterlace as part of the conversion to AIC. After editing, render the movie in h.264.

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

You want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

How to convert vob files to mov files

can anyone assist here? i have the mac osx 10.6.7. Cheers

Hi Lucy,
Other than Handbrake (as suggested by Fritzables) have a look at MPEG Streamclip. It's a free download from the developer (Squared 5), available here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag the VOB files to MPEG Streamclip's interface. From the menu, select File>Export to QuickTime. If using the file in iMovie, for Compression choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). Otherwise, choose the H.264 format. Both compression methods will produce a .mov file, but the H.264 format will be playable almost universally. The AIC format is best for iMovie (I'm assuming either iMovie '08, '09 or '11).

HELP!!!! How to save xml file!!!Anyone can help???

Hi,
It is urgent for me to know how to save xml file. I use VC++6.0, Oracle xdk 9.0.0.0.0 or 9.0.0.0.0Abeta under windows98.
It is OK to compile the program with print() method. But system will tell me there is illegal operation when I run it. If I delete the line with print(), the result will be normal.
in class node, there is two functions
void print(ostream *out = &cout, uword level = 0,uword step = 4);
void print(DOMString buffer, size_t bufsize, uword level = 0, uword step = 4);
Is there anyone who may tell me how to use them? to write back specific xml file?
Without print(), I can not save the xml file...It seems in Oracle xdk9.0.0.0.0, there is no obvious function to save the file.(or because I am a new comer , not familier with DOM)
Can anyone tell me how to save xml file? or just paste an example! It is very a little urgent to me...Hope you give me some ideas....
Many thanks in advance!!!!
yours,

Make your movie project, open it, then go to the Share menu and choose "export using Quick time" and you can export it (direct it to your desktop to fond easy) as as .mov file which then can be put right into Powerpoint. very easy to do. the movie exporting into a .mov file can take a long time if a long movie

How to play .VOB files with QuickTime?

I get an "Error opening file" message trying to play a VTS014.VOB file. This is a file of home movies scanned to the above file. I use Pro (QuickTime™ Version 7.1.6, Player Version 7.1.6) with the mpeg-2 addition and went through the process identifying QuickTime as the default player in "Get Info".
I can watch with iDVD and something else called VLC Media Player. I want to be able to pull off segments for other applications like making an DVD with just parts of the full file.
Thanks for your help.

The mpeg2playbackcomponent will not play mpeg2 files that are in transport stream format, as the VTS in the file name you cite suggests. There is, however, a freeware that can use the playback component and read transport streams. It also will do some simple editing of vob files and save them without re-encoding, or export them to non-mpeg form such as DVStream for use in apps like iMovie.
