Software for trimming vob file

I have recorded my video from camcorder using one step IDVD then I would like work on it.
Is There any good program (like IMOVIE) for Mac for trimming my vob files to get best movie.
After all I would like watch my movie on TV. I do not want to convert files twice as they will loose quality (I have tried)

Hi
a. Going from DVD to an editable form - NO GOOD WAY - Result will not be to good.
• Best is to re-assemble original material = Full quality
• DVDs can be back enginered - but low quality result -
I like Roxio Toast™ to do this - or - connect my Camera to a DVD-player and record it to tape.
b. Final result a DVD to be viewed on TV
• Then iMovie'08 and '09 will give a POOR RESULT
• iMovie up to HD 6 or FinalCut will give maximum of what's possibly
LIST ON
*DVD back for futhur editing*
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a trayloaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copyprotection)
C. Read what Karsten collected.
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .
//discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off. ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org
from. Bobby Keene
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Can anyone recommend software for converting mpeg files to FCP compatible files?

Currently working with FCP 10.1.3. Would like ability to re-edit / cut and slice mpeg files from other movie editing software (i-movie and studio 15). Would appreciate any recommendations for conversion software that I can download via the app store. Thanks

MMPEG Streamclip. Depends on what kind of MPEG, 1, 2, 4 and whether it's muxed or in VOB files or some other wacky concoction.

Tips for editing VOB files using Pinnacle Studio

Summary: Have trouble importing VOB files into Pinnacle
Studio for further editing? If so, follow the quick-start guide to learn
how to prepare VOB videos for editing in Pinnacle Studio without
quality loss.
I normally receive my stuff in a format I can stick on Pinnacle
Studio, but VOBs are not compatible. What I want to do with the current
project is take the VOB I have and convert it for use with Pinnacle
Studio. And what I need is a VOB converter I know.
After getting some reviews online and multiple testing, I found the
best and easiest way to import VOB files into Pinnacle Studio along with
the help from Brorsoft Video Converter.
It is an optimal VOB converter for you, which can help you change VOB
into a different format like MPEG-2, AVI with least quality loss. You
should then be able to import the new file into Pinnacle Studio with
smooth editing without any trouble. It will ensure a perfect VOB
importing, playing and editing workflow with Pinnacle Studio
9/11/12/14/15.
How to Convert VOB to Pinnacle Studio editable format
1. Download, install and run the VOB to Pinnacle Studio Converter; click "Add Videos" icon to load your source .vob videos.
2. Click “Format” bar and choose "Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas
> MPEG-2 (*.mpg)” as output format on the drop-down menu. Of course,
you can also choose AVI, MP4, WMV from “Common Video” as the output
format.
3. Click “Settings” button if you’d like to customize
advanced audio and video parameters like Video Codec, aspect ratio, bit
rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, audio channels.
4. Click the convert button under the preview window, the
converter will start encoding VOB for importing to Pinnacle Studio. Soon
after the conversion is finished, just click "Open" button to get the
generated files for edit in Pinnacle Studio 14/15/16 perfectly.

[quote] movies-videos-convert-tips.overblog.com/2014/02/how-to-make-video-object-.vob-format-is-it-editable-friendly-in-pinnacle-studio.html [/quote]

If you have the VOB files is it on a pre-existing DVD that will play on a set top box? (i.e. a VIDEO_TS folder with the VOB of your film inside it?)
then you could use Toast or similar to do a copy of it.
Otherwise you can use a program like MPEGStreamclip to demux the VOB back to an m2v and AC3 (Video and Audio file) and use DVD-SP to make a new playable DVD. There would be no loss in quality if you are merely demuxing.

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.

Recommended software for cleaning unwanted files, etc...

I am currently running the latest Yosemite(V10.10.2). My Mac Desktop and Laptop are running slow. I have never tried to run a cleaning software for either, mainly because I'm confused to which one best works, as their is so many out there claiming they are the best. Can someone, please recommend a good software that will speed up both my Macs?

[Cleaning Software] ... which one best works
NONE of them. The Mac does not accumulate filth.
They do not work, they cause problems, and some users find they need to re-install Mac OS X because "cleaners" throw away important System files.
Any slowness should be solved by looking at the root causes, and addressing them directly. Running third-party software you download will NOT improve your Mac. If such a thing were helpful, it would already be included in the box with a new Mac. (and it is not.)
Etrecheck is a reporting tool that allows the examination a lot of potential problem areas all at once. Sometimes this turns up the issues quickly and easily. Sometimes more "industrial strength" diagnostic tools are needed, such as Linc Davis scripts or System log lists.

What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

See this Wikipedia article for some encoders:

Best software for converting mvk files for apple tv?

I have lots of MVK video files on my Mac which I would like to play via Apple TV. Is there anyway I can play these through Apple TV without converting?
If not what is the best software/settings to use to convert these to maintain video and sound quality of the MVK file?
Thanks

MKV files usually have H264 video inside them already, and audio is either AAC, AC3 (preferable) or DTS.
Conversion is really easy. You could try MKV tools, but I've found audio sync issues, especially when converting sound from DTS.
Ffmpeg (command line) works the best.
You can get great instructions here (http://www.martinlos.com/?p=41) for getting that set up.
Once everything is properly set up, you can generally convert with lines like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ac 6 -ar 48000 -ab 320k ouput.m4v
What that does is tell ffmpeg to use file 'input.mkv' and copy the audio codec (assuming it's H264, which if it's an MKV, it likely is) and to convert the audio codec to AC3, 6 channels (5.1) at 48000 hz, at 320k bitrate. The output m4v file is what you'll use on your Apple TV. Conversion usually takes a few minutes.
You can get info about the mkv by typing ffmpeg -i input.mkv. That'll tell you what type of video you're dealing with, and what type of audio.
There's additional nuances, like removing metadata and chapters, but all of that can be found with a simple google search.
Good luck!

Software for translating video files on my HD to ATV

I was using a free program called Videora, which stopped working. It also was very difficult to use as you had to do one file at a time etc. I then purchased Roxio 9 Crunch, which ostensibly is exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, the software is appalling and the support/service/refund policies are even worse.
What do all of you use to transfer files? I've got a ton of avi's, mpg's, etc on my hard drive and would like to be able to see them on my ATV.
I looked at QuickTime Pro but the user comments below it make me not want to try.
Any help?

I agree with Winston on mpegstreamclip, especially the ease of use. It is also very flexible.
I used it to convert 60+ home movies. It has a feature where you can find the settings that works best for a group of files, queue them up and process them all at once with the same settings applied. I cant remember the exact process, will be using it again soon most likely but it was very easy to do the first time around. You will probably have to tweak it to your preference but you can save a profile of your desired settings so its good for that.
Like Winston said it also depends on what format your files are in. I had AVI files that I had generated from Sony Vegas which I had used 2 years ago to import my movies from my Mini DV cam corder. Since I didn't have the tapes I couldn't import the raw tapes into my mac. Also I had already sliced and edited the files which had taken a long time. They still look very good and definitely look better than the DVDs I had tried to make with the Vegas software. The less you compress / the fewer times you process or encode a file ...the better it will look.
edit: (for example, had I gone from mini-DV to AVI to MPG to DVD and then ripped the DVD to ATV format it wouldn't have looked as good as mini-DV to AVI to ATV format or even mini-DV to ATV format.) using multi-pass during a single encode is often done and recommended to ensure that a single encode provides optimum quality).
Good luck with your encodes!

Any Mac software for opening DBF files?

I have a mac that is not running Windows.
I would like to at least view the contents of a dbf file. I have tried without success to find (google) such a program.
Is there anything out there that will help me?
Thanks.

Try V.K.'s suggestion first - NeoOffice is free and though its database section is extremely clunky you might be able to get it to work with your file.
Apple's now unsupported office program AppleWorks can import DBF files: Apple no longer sell it but you might be able to find a copy; ask for advice in the AppleWorks Forum - you might even be able to find someone who will convert it for you if you ask nicely. (You would still have to open it yourself, so you would need to ask them to export it as text).
FileMaker Pro can import XML and ODBC files but I can't see any evidence that it will import DBF files - you would need to contact their Support on this.
You only other option would be to try to find someone with Windows and a suitable program who can open the file and convert it to text, either tab or comma delimited, and then open that in (for example) Bento which is art least cheap, or NeoOffice.

My guess is that these are 'Named User' licenses and not Concurrent licenses. That just means that every license has a single user and that users is expected to register. Did they just give you one DVD with the program and then 30 license keys? If so there is probably no way you will get around the registration process.

Software for N82

Hi
is there any software for using .swf file as wallpaper in N82?
thanks

I just bought an N97. My old phone was an N95. The new phone, like the old phone, came with Nokia Maps. This is free to use, but it doesn't come with "Navigation". Navigation is the voice directions you expect to hear in the car. You have to buy a Navigation licence, either through the phone, through Nokia PC Suite, or from a third party site.
I took my old sim out and put it in my new phone.
When I tried the Maps function on my new phone, it went to the internet, found my old Navigation licence and transferred it to the new phone.
This left my old phone with no Navigation licence.I checked out various options to bring back the Navigation to my old phone including these:-
If you go through the phone, or PC Suite, you will have to buy a yearly licence. If you go to the TeleAtlas site, you will find McGuider software. This is another option.
This business of buying an annual licence has been bugging me for some time, so, In the end, I did what I've been thinking about for a while. I went
into Halfords and bought Garmin (UK and N, Ireland) software on a micro SD card for £49.99. One - off payment, not an annual charge.
It installs automatically, is a doddle to use compared with Nokia Maps, and gives you the option of using AGPS or not.
It's much easier to use than Nokia Maps, more intuitive, more powerful options, quick in its response, and I can finally read what it's telling me on the small N95 screen, as I drive.
I can heartily recommend it. Without the AGPS in use, it's still very quick in its response, but of course this is down to the quality of the GPS system, and where you are.

Encryption software for WD MyPassport Wireless, please give feedback

I just started using this and it's very easy to set up. But I had to change the path in all your sh sript files to ENCFS=/home/root/wdcrypt/encfs from ENCFS=/home/root/encfs/encfs. I could have renamed wdcrypt folder to encfs, but I don't know whether that will affect anything else. Thanks for your contribution.

I created some software for storing encrypted files on the hard drive, please test it and tell me what you think! But do NOT use it to store anything valuable until you have at least tested it for a while and read some feedback from other users! https://github.com/maglar0/wdcrypt Read everything on there and try the demo of the web GUI (at https://maglar0.github.io/wdcrypt/?demomode=1 ), then grab the installation file located under "releases" on the github page.

Adobe Premier Elements 12 - Exporting trimmed AVCHD files from the project timeline, to a separate folder for burning to Blu Ray disc with other software?

Hi, can anyone help please. This is the first time I have used this forum.
I use Premier Elements 12, a PC, 64 Bit, Windows 7, high powered computer.
Just started trimming AVCHD in this software.
I would like to know if it is possible to export trimmed AVCHD files to a folder elsewhere (files which were originally imported into the project timeline), so that I can burn the trimmed AVCHD files (not in 'Project' form) to Blu Ray disc (using another software which I know that works to burn video files to Blu Ray disc).

Kathy
Thanks for the update. Your progress sounds very good.
Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 are similar. But, version 13 has significant feature removals and a new Elements Organizer.
So, when viewing or reading tutorials, try to determine the version of the program being used for the tutorials. As I typically write
principles tend to remain the same from version to version, but the features tend to move, change, or be discontinued from version
to version. And, it is frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature.
