How to convert a few mini-DVDs to mpeg2?
Hi,
Sorry if this question has already been asked but I tried search and didn't find an answer. My problem is I have some home footage from a camcorder. They've been shot on mini-DVDs. I want to know how to convert them to mpeg2 (I tried VOB2MPG but it didn't work) so that I can then join a few of them together. I don't want to lose quality so don't want to decompress then recompress. I also want to do it with free software. Thanks for your help. Cheers Manusse |

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. Can your confirm that DVD Flick doesn't decompress/recompress them? In this case this could be a good solution. Otherwise, I'd like to convert them to mpg files. Is there some easy way to do that (freeware, no recompression). Thanks in advance Manusse |

Hi all,
@rica: They are PAL DVDs. If I remember well they were shot using a SONY camcorder (by myself). So the format is MPEG2 but with a DVD structure (VIDEO_TS and VOB, BUP and IFO files). @setarip_old: Quote:
I've found a method for converting them to mpg: I demux them (pgcdemux) and then remux them to mpeg (imagompeg-muxer). However I couldn't join them. Thanks for your help Manusse |

You can use eac3to to extract mpeg2 video and ac3: (this is a commercial DVD but the structure is the same: ) Getting info: Code:
C:\>eac3to E:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB VOB, 1 video track, 4 audio tracks, 4 subtitle tracks, 0:20:20 1: MPEG2, 576i50 (16:9) 2: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB 3: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 768kbps, 48khz 4: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB 5: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 768kbps, 48khz 6: Subtitle 7: Subtitle 8: Subtitle 9: Subtitle Code:
