Is there an application to convert VOB files to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

Is there an application to convert VOB files to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and if there is how do you convert.

VOB files are video files.  Tiger is an operating system.  Converting video files to Tiger frankly doesn't make sense.  Can I convert a Beethoven symphony into a toothbrush?
What is your actual goal in this?  You can play VOB files with VLC, and there is still a Tiger version of that.  Converting to another format is harder since usually when you are working with VOB files you are doing higher end video editing.
If you goal is to convert commercial DVDs you have ripped, don't bother asking.  Discussing that is against the terms of use of this site since ripping commercial DVDs is illegal in the USA and some other countries.

  • 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?

    AndreTheGeek,
    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.

  • Options for converting '.vob' files for editing in PP Pro CS3...

    Hi,
    I'm using PP Pro CS3 (Windows) and I have a few projects here where the source material are '.vob' files only.
    Now because PP Pro doesn't support that file format, I'm looking for options to convert this footage to a format - suitable for editing in PP Pro CS3 - that does NOT explode in file size.
    Converting to uncompressed .avi is up 20 times the file size, DV .avi is about 5-10 times the file size.
    Here are the options I've tried so far:
    1. importing '.vob' files straight into PP via the Avisynth method
    --> works, but PP crashes randomly and it always crashes when rendering more than 2-3 min
    --> all my system drivers are up to date
    2. renaming to .mpg or .avi
    --> works for some files (only) but you get random red frames in your footage
    3. converting to mpeg-2 via...
    a. Carbon Coder - best quality so far - looks like original
    b. Premiere Elements 4 - no de-interlacing option, takes way too long, quality worse than original
    c. MPEGStreamclip - no options selectable, quality is worse than original
    4. converting to 'DV avi' via...
    Carbon Coder - PE 4 - MPEGStreamclip - VirtualDubMod
    --> file size explodes (5-10 times of the original .vob file), quality looks on all kinda the same and NOT better than the mpeg-2 output from Carbon Coder - that's why I don't wanna take the storage hit...
    Are there any other methods or ways to convert '.vob' files to a suitable editing format (with a reasonable file size) ?
    Thanx for your help !
    Mike

    Take the storage hit and be done with it. Hard drives are cheap these days. Editing takes lots of space. Might as well get used to it.

  • Convert vob files for use in FCP X

    I need to convert VOB files for use in FCP X on my macbookpro in OS X Lion (10.7.5) I use Clipwrap to convert other formats, but it does not seem to accept VOB for conversion (or if it does, I have not figured out how). In searching the web, I've come across several products that tout themselves as the best, fastest, easiest VOB to Prores converters etc., some that advertise as "free" when actually only a watermarked trial version is free. I have no idea of the actual quality of any of these (some examples are Brorsoft video converter for Mac, and Acrok HD Video Converter...), and would like some input from folks w/ experience in these things before dropping $ on the problem.
    In another thread on this site I read something about MPEG Streamclip, & something about needing to separately download an MPG2 converter for it w/ Lion or Mountain Lion - the process sounded confusing and I couldn't tell if it applied to my situation or not...
    Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed.

    MpegStremclip is THE Swiss Army Knife, when it comes to conversion, a 100% reliable, it IS absolutely free (any download a dollar = Stefano would be a millionaire!), I dare to say it is THE most recommended 3d party tool in the editor community ....
    How & why you need to install the mp2 plug-in does Signore Cinque explain in simple words on his website:

  • How to convert vob files back in to single dvd file

    I was ripping a dvd to my macbook and originally, it came up as just a single file for DVD Player. I then decided that i would set the default media player to VLC. When I did this, the file broke down in to several VOB files by itself. Is there anyway i can convert them back in to a single file even if it is only playable on the DVD player? Thanks for any help.

    Put them all back in a TS-Folder and burn that.

  • Convert VOB files with mininal quality loss

    I have a media player called WD TV. It does not support playback of VOB files. What format should I convert this to so that it mininizes any quality loss? The player supports raw mpeg2.

    There are several programs and workflows that allow one to rip the MPEG-2 contained in the VOB. Depending on the full structure of the VOB and also if the MPEG-2 spans more than one, often the simple renaming of the file from .VOB to .MPEG will work. Remember, this can depend on many factors. See this ARTICLE for some background on VOB's. See this ARTICLE for some suggestions on ripping workflows.
    Good luck,

  • Does QuickTime 7 Pro convert VOB files?

    I wanted to put all of my work out videos on my iPad and iPhone, is the QT Pro 7 worth it? Or whats the best converter out there. Anything else I need to know? Thank you in advance.

    I wanted to put all of my work out videos on my iPad and iPhone, is the QT Pro 7 worth it? Or whats the best converter out there. Anything else I need to know?
    QT 7 Pro will support unencrypted MPEG-2 video with the purchase/installation of the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component, support the VOB file container, supports "muxed" MPEG-2 layer 1/2 audio but does not natively support AC3 audio if used. The free MPEG Streamclip app will support AC3 audio in "muxed" MPEG-2 content but also requires the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component be purchased/installed. As previously mentioned, Apps like HandBrake will convert "muxed" MPEG-2 VOB content to H.264/AAC or MPEG-4/AAC content in M4V or MP4 file containers which is compatible with various Apple mobile devices and web, computer, etc uses. However, if you plan to edit the content in iMovie or other video editors, MPEG Streamclip might be the best work flow since it allows you to convert the VOB content to various editing specific compression formats which may retain more/better video quality than editing the HandBrake output. Basically, there are many options here depending on how you want to convert the VOB source content to mobile device targeted files.

  • Is there any way to convert video files and keep my project in Final Cut Pro 7?

    I am currently editing a project, and have been having multiple issues with freezing while editing. Upon doing some quick research, I learned it is bcause my clips are in the h.264 format, which is not a good editing codec. Is there any way to change the codec of the videos and keep the project I have?

    You might need to relink the timeline to the new media. Just take the H.264 files offline, and reconnect to the new media. If you media managed the sequence, it'd relink. But then you are only converting the files used in the sequence, not all your media.

  • Converted VOB file to mpeg with Freemake Video Converter and still not able to load same file in Premiere CS6

    I have this project where I needed to change the audio part from a dvd so first tried to load VOB file but Adobe Premiere did not support VOB file so then used Freemake Video Convert tool to convert in to mpeg file so that I can import in premiere timeline. Still no success so I guess its not supported either.

    Maybe you are missing some codec. CS6 does support mpeg.

  • How do I convert .vob files to run in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to convert Video_TS files (.vob) to work on Final Cut Pro X. I've tried a free trial of a couple of third party file converters which manage to convert the files to .mov or .mp4, but then when I drag and drop them into Final Cut Pro X it gives no video or audio. Any help would be really appreciated!

    Did you do this from the MPEG Streamclip download page?
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
    Also read the information for Snow Leopard below.

  • Convert .VOB file to edit in FCPX

    Can anyone please suggest the best way to convert a .vob file to edit in Final Cut Pro X?  I read that Mpeg Streamclip was the business, but when I load the .vob file, it appears only as a sound file with no video.  The .vob is definately a video file.  I also get a message about Apple Quicktime Mpeg-2 playback component is not installed.  It says I have to buy this part, but I haven't read anything about needing this.  Maybe I do. 
    Besides "how", also what is the best format to convert to for editing in FCPX?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, I downloaded and installed the beta from Squared5.com.  However,when I run the Utility MPEG2 Component M.Lion, I get a dialog "Please double-click the file QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg to open the quicktime MPEG2 disk image". 
    How/where do I get the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg?  e.g., trusted site.  Do I need to purchase the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store?

  • How to play .vob files on Mac or Convert them?

    Hello,
    I'm a big Mac convert and I can do 99% of what I need w/o Windows.
    However, I have a lot of movies that are on my windows machine which are back-ups and I want to read them or convert them on a Mac so I do not have to painstakenly redo them. They are images (.VOB) files.
    Any ideas?

    For the record, VOB files are not images, they are just multiplexed video/audio/subtitle streams. MPlayer and VLC should both have no trouble playing them. If they're in a VIDEO_TS folder, DVD Player will play them (File->Open DVD Media).
