VOB project/files converted into a single file?

Lincoln Burrows · 4th April 2009, 08:49

Folks,
I have some DVDs, they were decrypted (or created by me while I was recording things), and all that files/DVD project is there, the VIDEO_TS folder and all the files: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1/2/3/4.VOB, etc. etc.

I was wondering if it's possible to do that:

1) Not reencode anything and still have the movie, alone, and the special features, with the audio/subtitles embedded, into a single file.

I really want to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff from the DVD authoring. All menus and that sort of thing. I only wish to have the movie itself, like one AVI file downloaded from somewhere. You just need to open, and that's all. I can't do that with the entire VIDEO_TS folder transferred to my hard-drive.

Or at least let the menus and all the authoring stuff alone, and place the movie into a single file. But that means no reencode at all. The audio/video properties must not be changed at all costs, meaning no compression, no changes in the video signal. I am not accepting that, and that's why I have decrypted all discs using the DVD-9 profile.

It must be 101% the original source, into a single file, not a bunch of VOBs. And if it's not possible to have/alternate subtitle streams while playing those videos, it doesn't matter, I can use one external (SRT) file.

I wish that was possible here. If it is somehow, then I'll just have to use the double-click to open a file/movie, keeping the original video-source properties.

Here's one way. Open just the VOBs for the movie in DGIndex. Then demux the audio and video. Then remux it into MKV using mkvmerge.

There is also MakeMKV which basically does the same thing neuron2 said, only more automated.
