.avi / .wmv To Mpeg Or Vob

Post by Bert Jan »

Hello :)

I have obtained a couple of video's from a band that my friends are in...
The problem is, the only way the filmer could get them of the videocamera to the PC was in WMV and AVI files... a couple of shows still are on a tape, but some have been erased and cannot be converted again. I do want to use these video's and put them on a DVD.

I have got DVD Lab Pro 2, and can only open .VOB / .MPEG etc... What program do u guys recommend to use to convert the video's to VOB or .MPEG

And this is the first time I use the program, who is willing to help me out when I am stuck ;) ? Haha. If u are then also reply so I can send a PM when I am lost
:lol:

Thanks in advance for the help!

(And how would u recommend converting them of the tape next time, so they end up in MPEG/VOB straight away?)

I am completely new to this, so sorry for the stupid questions ;)

Running the AVI/WMV files through TMPEGenc Encoder will do the trick I suppose. The encoder is free and it'll give you DVD compliant MPEG2 video files you can use in DVD-lab or whatever

In a nutshell when you have DV-avi encode to mpg2 when you wanna do dvd's. The link I gave has info about the standard bitrates etc so you won't make a mpg2 file that won't be turned into a dvd.

Thank you for all the responses guys!

Alright...I made an MPEG of it..and now editing it with DVD Lab Pro..now I am making menu's..what do I need to make? A Menu or a VMG Menu? Whats the difference? Thanks!

And another question...I went to videohelp.com and saw I had to make VMG menu...
I am making a song selection menu...Now do I need to program all kind of this? Or is there an easier way to do this?

Perhaps the program is way too hard for newbie.

What you could do is to something little first. You can do songlist menu in DVD Lab. Hey it's an authoring software.

Or

Try much easier program like TMPGEnc DVD Author.
