Mpeg2 To Vob.

[cyberdaz]

How Can I Change An Mpeg2 File, Encoded From Progdvb Into A .vob File. How Do I Change The Extension So I Can Place The File Onto A Dvd Disc To Enable It To Play In A Stand Alone Player.
I Have Tried To Convert The File Using Nerovision Express, Dvd Architect And Vegas And For Some Reason It Takes About 4 Hours. I Was Under The Impression That An Mpeg2 File Is Similar To That Of A Vob File And Only Needs A Slight Adjustment To Enable It To Play On Dvd.
Can Someone Help!

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

1) If not already DVD-compliant, use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the MPEG to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this (This step may not be necessary, if your MPEG-2 files are already in DVD compliant format)

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (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")

If I were you, I would convert the mpeg file to dvd format first, and then burn it. There are many software can do this. And winavi (http://www.winavi.com/video-converter.htm) is one of the best!

Easy and doesnt require you to reencode the material.

Alternatively you can use DGIndex to demux video / audio, run DVDPatcher over the video files, and load the m2v / mpa files in muxman.
