M4v to vob

I am making the slide show with iMovie for my wedding playing it with a DVD player. I wonder if the DVD player can play this m4v format. May I ask if any application can convert m4v to vob in iMac?

I think I know what you're asking; try opening the files in iMovie, then going to Share in the tool bar. Select iTunes, then the resolution you want, and it should be fine. It takes awhile for large resolutions to be finished, but that's the simplest method I know of for making videos iPhone/iPod-ready Good luck!

Software Recommendation - Convert .VOB to .M4V

I have a bunch of DVDs with video projects I created with iMovie/iDVD a while ago, and I'd like to bring them home to show some people without hauling my computer with me on my trip. I just want to load them onto my iPhone and go. I've managed to convert the DVDs into a mess of .VOB files (I no longer have any of the original digital files), but I have no idea how to compile them all into one single .m4v file that I can play on my iPhone. It seems to be separated into random chunks. I have tried a few applications that were total garbage, and very unstable, like one by ImToo - can anyone recommend a good OSX/Leopard application that can handle this file conversion?
Thanks.

What is the best way to play .m4v on lcd?

Hi. I have many movies in .m4v format in my macbook, but I really don't like having to connect every time I want to use it through thunderbolt or streaming from it. I would like to have a device which is always connected to the lcd through hdmi. I have the macbook, 2 external drives, ps3. But the ps3 must me fat32 which has the 4gb limit, so it doesn't work. I was thinking on a mac mini or the apple tv. ( nothing else comes to my mind). Though I'm not sure if the ATV would work, I have never used one. But it would be much cheaper. The mac mini would work for sure perfectly. The movies also have multiple languages in audio and subtitles, I use VLC player to play them, which works perfectly. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi Rob,
A few options for the Video_TS folder:
- One, as kyrunner said you can use DVD player (the "Open DVD media" item under "File" menu)
- You can use the very adaptive VLC player, which is a free project and can be downloaded here <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>
- Another useful option is to use the great video_ts feature under "video" in Toast (7.0 or 8.0) this will allow you to drop a bunch of .VOB files off your Video_TS folder into toast, then decide what level of compression with which tracks (subtitles, supplements, audio etc.) to save. Once you're done you can save the new DVD as an image on your disk (File>Save as disk image) saving disk space since you dropped unneeded tracks but being able to double click the image and treat it like you would any real DVD (via DVD player VLC or any other).
Have fun, Baryo.

DVD to MP4 or M4V

Been searching discussions for information on converting DVD's to either MP4 or M4V format. About the only free source I can find is HandBrake. Is that the best one?

This is a far shot but depending upon who you had do your original transfer from film your best bet would be to get the original pre-DVD capture from them (they may no longer have it). Even compressing to DVD is using a lossy process vs. original raw format (which will be huge files). I don't do much video work but we recently had a home DVD re-edited by somebody and from what I understand he just converted it all back to Quicktime format before re-encoding it a second time to DVD, vs. editing the original mpeg2 VOBs. I compared sections from the two versions and maybe I would have noticed more difference if it hasn't been from a 1980s videocamera originally.
I suspect in the end if you use reasonable quality conversion settings you won't notice much difference between DVD and the mp4 given the original format was home movies on film.

[PLEASE HELP!] .m4v and .mpeg4 Audio Export problems (QT 7 pro)

When i try to export any clips to .m4v (movie to ipod) or .mpeg4 the video is exported but has no sound. When i select "export to .mpeg4" and click on "options" it says "audio: no audio track in source movie". This is the same message displayed on all the clips i have tried to export.
Does anyone know how i can record the audio for .m4v files or .mpeg4 files?
Thankyou so much in advance for your help.

I'm using Quicktime Pro v 7.0.4 on Mac. I tried exporting Quictime mpeg4 to iPod format and get only video but no audio! And I'm talking Apple all the way. These files were made from a Sony digital camera with the digital video record option.
Believe most (if not all) Sony digital cameras still use MPEG video format. As such, the files contain a "muxed" stream consisting of blocks of video data interspersed with blocks of audio data for A/V synchronization. As Kirk alluded to above, QT is a "frame-to-frame" sync application and does not fully support "muxed" (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, MJPEG, etc.) formats.
I do use a 3rd party program called Snapz Pro X to capture to .mpeg4 and these files export just fine to iPod format!
Good solution for capturing streamed video but not the best here. As you suggested, use a third party, MPEG based application like iSquint (free) or, better yet, MPEG Streamclip (free) for one-step conversion with audio.
I tried to convert the mpeg4 format to MOV format and then convert MOV to m4v but no audio there.
No surprise here. If you check your first MPEG4 file you will see that no audio track was present following the initial conversion and no amount of further conversions will add a non-existent audio track.

.mpg to .m4v?

I own an Elgato Eye TV 250 Plus which I use to record QAM broadcasts. I also have VisualHub which can take the original file and convert it into a .mov file which contains original AC3 sound track. However, .mov lacks some of the features (notably ratings) compared to .m4v. What's the best way to convert things into .m4v format that maintains the AC3 soundtrack?

handbrake wrote:
HandBrake's main form of input is ripped DVDs that you have stored as VIDEO_TS folders or .iso images on your hard drive. It can also read directly from some DVDs, right from your computer's optical drive.
It also has limited support for some .vob, .ts, .m2t, and .mpg files. These include television broadcasts captured with an EyeTV or HDHomeRun. HandBrake, however, does expect that all MPEG-2 streams are set up like a DVD (with 2048 byte blocks) and are properly formed, so don't expect it to read everything.
HandBrake will not accept videos that have already been encoded by another source. This includes .avi video files you may have downloaded, files from Google Video, etc.. For help with such sources, you might wish to look at: ffmpegX (OS X), MeGUI (Win), or MEncoder (guide)(linux and cross-platform)

Importing .m4v file into FCP

I have a .m4v file that was created by HandBreak. This file was of a live concert. I wanted to edit it into individual songs so I needed to get it into FCP. I looked around and found Wondershare Video Converter Pro. I converted it to a Quicktime. The file size was dramatic. Original file = 4.06GB. The .mov ended up at 550MB. The problem is the .mov quality was pretty bad.
Is there a better way to do this? Can I use a different format that FCP can import? I care more about quality than size, at least while I'm editing in FCP.
Thanks

Did you copy the contents of the VIDEO_TS folder to the computer's hard drive as per the tutorial?
Yes, I did that.
Your internal drive rotates at 7200 RPM whereas a DVD is around 850 RPM. That makes quite a difference. Even a five year old G4 should convert a 1GB .vob in around 20 minutes.
Or are you doing something else that needs lots of CPU resources at the same time?
No, nothing else is going on. I just looked and the VTS011.VOB file is only 1.07GB in size. Any other suggestions? I have it copied to my internal drive. I have an iMac I got new last November. Not that old... I am now at 53% completed. I started the conversion at 10:30 AM, it is now 5:00 PM. That's 6 1/2 hours to convert a 1Gb file. Seems odd...
Thanks

Help: DV Windows Movie Maker - M4V for iPod 640x480 QuickTime Pro

Good morning,
I have a few home videos on a 300GB hard drive, originally taken with my PAL DV camcorder, saved as AVI files using Windows Movie Maker when I was still using my Windows XP system for video editing, which I would like to convert to H.264 for long term storage on my Mac and view on my video capable iPod.
I am working on an Intel processor based computer with a registered version of QuickTime Pro and an up-to-date operating system.
Opening the files in QuickTime Player and inspecting them via the traditional Movie Info window reports the expected information:
Format: DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions, Stereo, 48.000 kHz
FPS: 25
If I attempt to convert them to my target format of choice using a simple File -> Export -> Movie to iPod, I get, of course, an interlaced video which I promptly File -> Move to Trash.
If I convert them to an intermediate QuickTime format ("Move to QuickTime Movie", mov, Options -> Size -> Deinterlace source video) and then transcode them via the aforementioned "Move to iPod" method, I get good quality m4v files for the size, which play on my iPod, fully satisfying my quality requirements.
This intermediate step is time consuming though, and I am sure unnecessary, and I am looking for a more elegant way of accomplishing the above. I have limited time to investigate this personally so I am asking for a little help, which I am prepare to reward.
After having looked at the published iPod specifications, I have tried to File -> Export -> Movie to QuickTime Movie and manually applying encoding settings as follows:
Compression Type: H.264
Frame rate: Current fps
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Enabled
Data Rate: Restrict to 1500 kbits/sec (inspired by the spec)
Encoding: Best Quality (multi-pass)
Optimised for: CD/DVD-ROM
Size: Dimensions 640 x 480 VGA (Deinterlace Source Video)
The resulting video file does not play back on my iPod and is inferior in quality to those I produce through the intermediate step described previously.
Questions:
1) how can I encode and deinterlace PAL DV videos for H.264 storage and iPod playback in 640x480 in one go?
2) how do I get the best quality/size ratio I possibly can out of process 1) ?
3) is there any way to batch process multiple files in a given folder?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
best regards,
Maroloccio
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks for you post, Jon, but my questions remain largely unanswered.
Sorry, must have been half asleep when I attempted to respond.
After having looked at the published iPod specifications, I have tried to File -> Export -> Movie to QuickTime Movie and manually applying encoding settings as follows:
Compression Type: H.264
Frame rate: Current fps
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Enabled
Data Rate: Restrict to 1500 kbits/sec (inspired by the spec)

Optimised for: CD/DVD-ROM
Size: Dimensions 640 x 480 VGA (Deinterlace Source Video)
The resulting video file does not play back on my iPod and is inferior in quality to those I produce through the intermediate step described previously.
This approach does not work because neither the "Movie to QT > H.264" nor the "Movie to MPEG-4" have access to the Baseline LC profile. Only Mac applications I know of that currently access this profile are the current QT Pro/iTunes, ViddyUp! (v1.7), and ffmpegX (v0.0.9x).
1) I have downloaded Streamclip and tried to do as you suggested but the output video still doesn't play on my iPod. Again, I am looking for a tested workflow which would spare me the time it takes to get fully acquainted with the intricacies of H.264 profiles. I will certainly want to learn more about this in the near future, but for the time being I just need a solution to convert my media catalogue.
Sorry, was concentrating so much on the de-interlace issue that I completely forgot you wanted an iPod compatible target file. Only Mac application that seems to offer both de-interlace and direct Baseline LC profile is ffmpegX v0.0.9x. Have not used the de-interlace feature in this application, so I don't know how well it works. (In addition, its crop/scale option does not work to my satisfaction nor does it allow me to source multiple VOB files or a single VOB in excess of 4 GBs.) On the other hand, I do use de-interlace in MPEG streamclip on a regular basis and, while it is a bit "soft," have found it satisfactory. However, I create a QT DV/DVPRO intermediate file which is crop/scaled and make brightness, contrast, saturation and/or volume adjustments "on the fly" at the same time. Using this format is much quicker than encoding to H.264 twice.
2) If I am to believe the published iPod specs, your suggestion would not work on one, at least not on the current generation.
Yes, really blew it there thinking all you wanted was an H.264/AAC file that did not need to be iPod compatible.
3) Parallel processing results in thrashing of resources, I believe for these scenarios enqueueing works better.
Have not encountered any serious problems using this approach on the G5. Believe it does increase processing time to a small degree while "thrashing between resources," but comes in handy when converting a series of files while I go to a doctor's appointment (did 4 Doctor Who episodes on Tuesday this way), go shopping, pay bills, etc.

Apple TV - Software for Conversions to .m4v format

I've been using MPEG Streamclip to do conversions from .vob, .avi, etc to m4v format. It seems to take an unusually long time (for a 2 hour film it takes 8-10 hours) and lately when it finally gets to the end, a message comes up that "Can't export movie" with no details given. My 1TB destination drive has plenty of space available.
I'm wondering if there's a better product out there even if it costs a bit of $$ ?
I do need the ability to convert to 1020 x 780p for my Plasma HD Set (for full screen) ...
BTW, I'm on an iMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory (the max) sunning OS X 10.4.11

I'm not sure but I don't believe the turbo h264 does 720p conversions.
You are certainly right; the webpage says:
Apple TV Video: Video: H.264 Main Profile, 5 Mbps max., 800x600 max., 30 fps max. Audio: AAC-LC, stereo, 128 Kbps, 48 kHz. (Note: If the source movie is larger than 800x600 it will be scaled to fit within 800x600 preserving aspect ratio. Resolution is maintained if 800x600 or smaller. Frame rate is maintained when 30 fps and smaller.)
Also if your source video isn't 720p, you are wasting a lot of time and HD space converting to 720p, you cannot create quality from nowhere.
I'm always amazed at the number of people who seem to think you can.

HT3775 Hi, Im trying to convert .vob to mp4. How can I do it?

Hi, Im trying to convert .vob to mp4. How can I do it?

.VOB files are multiplexed files that contain both audio and video. Are you trying to save the audio only to an mp4 or are you trying to save the video as well as a m4v (mpeg-4 video)? If so then try using Handbrake: http://handbrake.fr to transcode the DVD disc to an m4v.
