Quicktime and VOB files

I am trying to export a vob file (legal, it's my production) as a quicktime so that I can edit in FCP. My problem is that I can only play back the first 19 seconds of my 28 minutes of media when opened in quicktime. I recently downloaded OpenShiiva and was able to encode an Xvid, but even as a QT movie it will not import into FC. Any ideas?

Well, a search here would find lots of ideas.
1. Buy Apple MPEG-2 component for QT
2. Use (free) MPEG Streamclip to open VOBs, correct timecode errors.
3. With Streamclip, Export to DV (or any QT format but DV makes sense for editing)
4. Use in FC or iMovie.
Note the 19 seconds is 99.9% due to timecode errors. The data is broken up and MPEG-2 depends on timecodes so you fix those as above. Then you will see all 28 minutes.
Also note had you been able to export more than 19 seconds you woudl have lost all the audio.

  • Converting .BUP. IFO and .VOB files

    Hello,
    I have a dvd of my high school football that when you insert it into a DVD player or into a computer using DVD Player on the Mac it plays fine. However, when I try to rip the files using MactheRipper or Handbrake it stays in .BUP .IFO and .VOB files. I want to know if anyone knows how I can somehow convert these files or get them into iMovie so that I can edit them. The videos don't have sound files, in case that matters.
    Thanks

    You're viewing multiplexed DVD-Video data (this is called "muxed" for short). As such, it is in a format that is for playback only.
    You'll need to demultiplex (or "demux") the data stream to something you can edit.
    Mactheripper only copies DVD-Video data and provides no demultiplexing.
    Handbrake effectively converts DVD-Video data to other play only formats (like MPEG4 for your iPod).
    DVDxDV (and DVDxDV Pro) is a software application meant for doing just what you are trying to do ($50 to $80, depending on the version you purchase).
    Also, if you have Roxio Toast, you can use it to export the multiplexed video stream to something that you can edit ($100, but you can often find it on sale or with a rebate).
    Whatever application you find to do this, DV-NTSC QuickTime is a good choice to convert to. It's the same format you would have after capturing digital video from MiniDV tape. It's the same frame size and frame rate as MPEG2 NTSC, just a different compression type (DV/DVCPro-NTSC rather than MPEG2).
    Avoid extracting the DVD-Video stream to MPEG2. This might get you something that can be played with QuickTime (if you have the MPEG2 playback component installed), but it's not a compression type for editing.

  • How do I import an old home movie on DVD into iMovie with video_ts content and .vob files

    Hi, as a new mac user I would appreciate any help to use imovie to import an old home movie on DVD with movie_ts content and .vob

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in 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. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • WMP and VOB files via web site

    I have created a web page that will list cover images all of my backed up DVD's that I have on an external hard drive and each cover images is linked to the first VTS_01_1.VOB file for that DVD.
    I am testing the page to see how it works for each device I have.  The page works flawlessly with my Samsung tablet, the player I have installed on the tablet will automatically go from VTS_01_1.VOB to VTS_01_2.VOB and so on until movie is
    done.
    If I use my Windows 7 pc & IE 8, WMP will open and play the VTS_01_1.VOB and stop at the end of that file, how can I get WMP to continue to the next file automatically?
    I have also tried placed the file VIDEO_TS.IFO & VTS_01_0.IFO in the link and then my tablet will not play it and WMP will not open and play it also.  When I use this link in IE I will get a dialogue box asking if I want to save or
    open, I select open and WMP will open and then give me a message "The selected file has an extension (.IFO) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the Player may still be able to play it. Because the........  Do you want the Player to
    try to play this Content? YES / NO. 
    I select YES and then I get a dialogue box "WMP cannot play the file.  The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
    So why will WMP work if I double click the file on the pc directly in the folder and not via the web page?

    WMP access files present in a particular folder, the order in which the IFO file or linked VOB file is desinged. However, when it comes to webpage, WMP treats the location as remote and hence will not proceed to next file automatically, even if linked in
    the IFO file. This is a security feature to avoid any execution of code from unknown source.
    I can suggest adding the VOB file in a playlist, like ASX file, and that file will be opened by WMP and navigation between different VOB files is possible.

  • Quicktime and mono files...

    Why can't QuickTime play mono files? From the Finder or as an open file.
    And how do I go about getting QuickTime to play mono files? Perhaps some setting has been altered that I'm not aware of.

    I previously posted a fix that didn't work out but if someone is still trying to figure this out I made a discovery today. My mail app would no longer play my voice mail wave files from inside the actual emails. When I played through the internal speaker i heard it fine but through my sound card nothing. I had noticed that the files were mono and if I opened them in quicktime and reassigned the mono channel to right or left I could hear it but I didn't know how to change the way quicktime would rout mono files by default. Today I had some time to kill so I experimented. I found that on my system with my sound card the solution was to go to the speaker configuration setting in the audio devices panel of the audio midi setup window. There I went to the multi channel setting and switched it from 5.1 surround to stereo. Perfect sound from my mono file now on both speakers for the first time. I had to close and restart my apps to be sure these settings had worked. A little more work showed that the mono sound was previously being routed to the center channel which was not connected on my system. It appears to have resolved my issue but why the importance of these setting was never mentioned by apple is beyond me. If this works for anyone else let me know.

  • Final Cut Pro X and .vob files

    Hi
    How do I import a .vob file into Final Cut Pro X?
    I use an iMac with Mavericks installed.
    Thanks

    Hi Tom
    I've just read through an old post from May 2013 on this forum you answered, found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5010061?start=0&tstart=0
    If I have to use the 1.9.3b8 version of MPEG Streamclip where do I get the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg component from? Do I purchase from apple (will Mavericks let me install?) or is there somewhere else I should get the file from?
    Many thanks

  • Quicktime and .avi Files

    Where do I go to get a plug-in for Quicktime to let me play .avi movie files? I went to the site where it says it might be, but I don't see anything for .avi files. Thanks for any help.
    PS. I downloaded VLC, but everytime I right click the .avi file, go to open with, then pick VLC, it starts to open then closes.

    Yes, that does work, but I'm viewing avi files over
    the network, so it's hard to open VLC, then click
    open file and go over the network to get the file.
    There's got to be an easier way.
    In VLC (because this'll come up again) just choose 'open Network' and supply the URL for the stream/resource (in some case you may have to dig into the source of the web page - or the one the link actually directs you to to find something that starts mms:// or RTSP: or similar).
    This is particularly handy because in VLC - as in mplayer/ffmpegx and others) you can pipe the output to a file on disk in many cases (I hate streams. I like files.
    A helpful link - and good forum: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=49539#49539

    best wishes.

  • Quicktime and flv files

    I have just bought quicktime pro because research suggested it would open a flv file and convert it. Having gone through a painful process of having to redownload and reinstall various add ons it is still not working only opening the first few seconds of the file. Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...

  • HT3775 Quicktime and AVI Files

    Quicktime says it supports AVI videos, but when I try to play mine it says I need to download a codec?

    There are multiple types of AVI encoders, and as such not all AVI files are recognised by QT.
    The easiest thing to do is to move away from QT, and install VLC, which handles nearly all types of files.

  • Quicktime and tiff files

    I use a windows 7 laptop. In the course of my week I view many tiff files. I have the default program for tiff set as windows photo viewer. Nonetheless, Quicktime always comes up. I wouldn't mind, but I cannot view all pages, and sometimes nothing shows. So each week I have to remove Quicktime in order to view my tiff files in Windows Photo Viewer. Very, very, frustrating. Any thoughts?

    Excellent news, Bulent!
    I hope Quicktime does not, later, try to take over again.
    Good point ... next time you do a QuickTime update directly from the Website:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    ... very near the end of the install, there should be a screen with a "Configure File/MIME types" button. Click the button, go to the MIME types, and make sure that that TIFF image entry is unchecked. That should avoid the problem in future.

  • QT and .vob files

    I received some video files from my bro's sony dvd video camera. The files associated with the videos are .bup, .ifo, & .vob. I can't get the videos to play. Not sure if I can.
    Any ideas?

    I did what you said and QT does play the video files now. Problem I have now is that there is no sound with the files.
    And what did you do? Are you plying the files in MPEG Streamclip or the QT Player? If you converted the files, then to what compression format. VOB (M2V/AC3) files are not natively supported by QT. Adding the the QT MPEG-2 Playback component only allows playback of the MPEG-2 video content -- not the AC3 audio. You can play the files in MPEG Streamclip, but if you want to play them in QT, you much convert the files to a fully supported audio and video compression format. For instance, you can have MPEG Streamclip convert the VOBs to MPEG (multiplexed M2V/MP2) files which will then play with audio in the QT Player (assuming the files contain audio).

  • QuickTime and .asx files

    After installing MacOS X 10.6 ( Snow Leopard ) I am not be able to play .asx files any more. I re-installed Flip4Mac and Perian, but with no result.
    Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks for the suggestion.

    QuickTime X will not play them.
    You need to install QuickTime Player from the Snow Leopard DVD.

  • Quicktime and 3gpp2 files

    These 3gpp2 files used to play fine in Quicktime 5 but in 6 and 7 the audio is f**ked up; does anybody know anything about this???

    Could you post a link to one of the files, or upload a sample file at rapidshare.de

  • Quicktime and gif files

    I use gif images in my imovie projects. With my older version of quicktime pro, I was able to open a GIF, make it longer, and then drop it into my movie with picture in picture (imovie 6).]
    I recently bought a new MAC, and the with new version of quicktime, the gif images are gray, I can not open them.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I use gif images in my imovie projects. With my older version of quicktime pro, I was able to open a GIF, make it longer, and then drop it into my movie with picture in picture (imovie 6).
    Somewhat confused by your statement here. Were you using QT Pro or iMovie 6 to create your content?
    I recently bought a new MAC, and the with new version of quicktime, the gif images are gray, I can not open them.
    You should still be able to create picture-in-picture content with QT 7 Pro on a new Mac. In fact, if you set "in" and "out" points for the duration you want the GIF to play, your can use the "Add to selection and Scale" Edit menu option to combine the lengthening and pasting process into a single action. (I.e., open the GIF in one player and then using Command-A/Command-C to copy the "entire GIF image movie" to temporary memory before adding it to the second movie player.)

  • How can I get IFO, BUP and VOB files to play on my iPad

    I have a DVD of my vacation that a friend made using iMovie. But I can't get it to load on my iPad to play. Any idea how to do this cheaply?

    You don't.
    Those are DVD format files and are not playable on any ios devices. 
    You will have to use handbrake to convert the video on the dvd to a compatible format.
