This is a question for the computer savvy folks out there. I need a method to convert DVD (.vob) to something a lot more manageable such as mpeg or wmv. It’s been awhile since I had the need to do this so I don’t know what current software is out there for this task. My new camcorder saves straight to .vob and that is not a good video format for sharing over the interweb. I would prefer to get it to .wmv in one step… thanks ---

flaskmpeg will pretty much do anything you could ever imagine with a .vob… but its a very advanced level program in my opinion. I also have trouble getting good results with it due to improperly set framerate conversion and audio sync. ---

Dr. Divx seems pretty solid for what I need. Although I am using the trial version so I don’t know what limitations are there. Unless I overlooked it (or its not there in the trial) I don’t see any way to encode a different filetype. It only does Divx. But from there I can convert it a million other ways. ---

humm audio seems to always be out of sync when i encode iwth divx you ever deal with the audio being embedded into the video vob? i haven’t burnt too many discs… never saw embedded audio, don’t know how to get it to sync right.
