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.

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!

  • I have downloaded a movie which has the extension .m4v.  This will not play on my CD player and I can't find software to convert to a more universal DVD format.  Can anyone help?

    If you've bought a film from iTunes then you can only copy it to a DVD or CD for backup purposes, you won't be able to watch it on a stand-alone DVD player.

  • Free software to convert video on mac?

    When looking for free software to convert some MTS and WMV files to play on my blackberry Z10, I found two software talked about most by people online, Handbrake and MacX Video Converter Free Edition.
    Handbrake, I know it is popular among people, could convert any video to MP4 (M4V), MKV and convert videos for popular mobile players including iPad, iPod, Apple TV, PSP, etc.
    While MacX Video Converter Free Edition is able to convert between HD videos MKV, M2TS, AVCHD and SD videos AVI, MP4, MOV, FLV etc. It also can easily convert videos to iPad 5, iPhone 5S, iPod, Samsung, HTC, PSP, Microsoft, Xbox and ,more as well as convert pictures into a slideshow video.
    Anyone tried both of them? Which one is better?

    When I download standard Video Podcasts H264/MPEG4 does the Itouch need to Transcode them? Example on the Creative Zen V plus downloading the latest edition of Cnet Live it took 13 minutes to convert the file. Will files downloaded from Itunes be about the same size from the download to the player? Example a 200Meg file downloaded to the Zen V Plus will convert to 1 Gig or more!
    Thanks for your help.

  • 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 ....

If you have all of the required files, you can get solutions with freewares like handbrake.

  • How do i convert "vob" to use in imovie/idvd?

    Hi!
    I have a dvd with this file : VTS011.VOB
    I want to get it into imovie or idvd.
    My goal is to extract some pictures from this film -
    and burn a dvd/cd with only the pictures......
    How do i convert this format to a format that is accepted by Ilife progr. ?!
    Toggen

    You might look into the software DVDxDV. It will convert .vob files into quicktime files that can be imported into imovie. It doesn't do encrypted files, i.e., commercial dvds. It can do segments of the file, but doesn't seem to have a 'grab' button for still frames.
    DVDxDV has a demo version that is very helpful in determining if this is the software for you. It will be watermarked until purchased for $25.

  • 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.

  • What software can convert existing media automatically?

    what can i use to convert any media to mp3/flv via command
    line etc (no GUI)?
    hello. i am looking for a piece of software to convert
    video/audio into FLV/mp3 formats. our client is uploading media to
    our server via coldfusion. once the media is uploaded we need a way
    to convert the files via command line or some sort of "folder
    watcher" to automatically convert the files. Ideally; after the
    file had been uploaded we will then call the software via command
    line and say : "input:c:\myVideo.mpeg output:c:\myVideo.FLV".
    Hopefully i am making some sense.
    any ideas or direction will be GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED

    hey everyone,
    This has been a topic I have been following very closely as not being able to locally store videos in a widget has been a huge thorn in my side.
    I have tried a few different things but, still haven't been able to get anything to work.
    I was really close to getting something that may work and wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else has suggestions or similar ideas.
    What I did was add the video to the hype file as an .m4v and then exported to an html 5 widget.
    I then opened the contents and changed the extension of the .m4v file to .mp4 (strangely this worked and let me add the file into ibooks author, despite the fact that adding a real mp4 file does not work.
    I then exported the ibook author file as an ibook, and then changed the extension to .zip and extracted it.
    and changed the file back to .m4v.
    I also tried to leave it as a .mp4, and also tried replacing the .m4v file with the .mp4 file and changing the reference in the hype.js file, unfortunately all to no avail.
    unfortunately the video does not playback, but I wanted to throw this process out to see if anyone else has tried anything similar or could offer any suggestions on something else to try.

  • Catalog Publishing Software Recommendations Anyone :)

    Hello,
    I would love to get some catalog publishing software recommendations besides Easy Catalog (currently using Easy Catalog and looking to get away from it) that are user friendly with InDesign?
    We are looking to streamline our process and hopefully use a datapull that we produce into an excel document. Our catalogs are generally printed and anywhere from 80-130 pages each.
    If you need more info for recommendations please let me know.
    Thank you all!
    - Kelly

    Kim,
    I have not seen any custom demonstrations by them, im always learing of having to "sign up" for things online in order to get demonstrations, ive been bombarded with  tons of junk email before by doing this. Since you have used this program can you tell me if i can have my data pulled from an excel document in order to use this program? Basically our information is entered into a specific program that was written for our business. In the past we have had to extract data from this program, run it through yet another program and then convert it to excel document... Hey at least we are able to work with it... lol  Trying to find an easier way

  • Which is the best software to convert dvd to IPad 2d

    Which is the best software to convert dvd to IPad 2d

    unfortunately discussing the breaking of the encryption that comes with commercial dvd's is prohibited in these forums. however a quick google search will get you to quite a few software providers....
    on a personal note, i don't agree with the fact that we can't "legally" transfer dvd's because breaking the encryption is considered illegal, even though the "fair use act" has said that copying dvd's for personal use or for backup purposed is considered legal. it's just the software to do that isn't. i'm not one who would rip a dvd then make multiple copies to make a financial gain. i just want to be able to convert my "old" media into a format that meets my current needs.
    good luck my friend on your search. i really wish i could help you more

  • Using my software to convert videos for another user - how do I sync it ?

    I have been using a software to convert dvd for ITouch with great effect. now I want do do same for a friend - but am worried that when I syn i will loose all that's currently on her iTouch. How can I do this?

    Before someone points out that we cannot discuss of even act like converting a DVD is possible because it is allegedly illegal, you are not asking that. You, by magic we assume, can do this. You are asking whether you will lose what is on her iPod.
    I am not sure you can sync her iPod from your system but if you did you'd want to set it to only sync what you checked and then only check that one movie.
    I wonder... is there a reason yo cannot just move the converted file from your computer to hers and let her import it?
