Creating vob from avi

[Bricks-4-Brains]

What's up,
I have a couple questions

I need to know who to get an xvid avi into .vob formant. I think vob is usually mpeg2 video and ac3 audio, is this correct? My main question is if there is a tool(or set of tools) that can convert the xvid avi to mpeg2 vob format so it will play on any standalone dvd player.

Also does the audio codec mater or does it have to be ac3 for standard dvd playback

thanks

Hi!

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.6 (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish) You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress

If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}

thanks or the quick response,

one more question
what is the default output resolution for tmpgenc is it the resolution of the souse or is there a way I can change it

thx again

[setarip_old]

is it the resolution of the souseHuh?

The output resolution, based on using the TMPGEnc (NTSC) DVD "wizard"/template, is 720x480...

*.vob files can't be recognised by DVD player directly.
Why not use somesoftware to create DVD directly?
such as avi to dvd converter:

It can help you to convert avi format(include xvid avi) to mpeg file and burn into dvd directly.

Besides being spammy, you might be interested to know that what you said is totally, completely wrong, because a DVD is no more than a collection of *.vob files.
