Hi, Can anyone tell me how I can convert a vob or mpeg2 file to avi without losing to much video quality, after the conversion has been done:? Thanks

Why has my thread been moved?

[Guest]

Because it was in the wrong forum and is noobish in nature. Would you prefer it somewhere else?

[SallyDog]

open it in virtualdub and convert to avi with huffy.

[MR Nice]

So because its not avi2dvd I get moved? neuron are you powertrip'in me? users talk about avi,mpeg2, vob's in there threads, so my thread don't fit into those formats?

Load the file in VirtualDub with fccHandler's MPEG2 Plugin. Select desired output compression and Save as AVI. Choose a bitrate high enough to achieve the quality you desire.

You might want to try a new tool from the DVDFab people called VideoFab.

Thank's for the help me is greatful, got myself in the bads books.

I use AVIDeMux for most of my converting needs.

You got yourself in the bad books cos you were mouthing off to a mod..... its like mouthing off to a cop, it gets you no where, but in trouble fast!

For video conversion i use mencoder and h264, i can get the size down to about 50% with pretty much no loss in quality, much below that and quality starts goin down hill, it is command line, can be abit complicated to setup, it does have gui's tho.

If you want something simpler use AVIDemux as olyteddy suggested.

[MR Nice]

Not having much look with virtualdub, or avidemux, is there a program were you can select convert vob, or mpeg2 to avi? I'll have look at mencoder and h264, me just wants to press a button and it converts without to much quality loss.

AutoGK is what you wants.

[dat720]

I use AVIDemux all the time for MPEG2 and VOB files..... maybe you should read the manual and work out what you are doing wrong.

And what exactly does "not much luck" mean? Does it work but not give the results you want? Does it not work at all?

If you just want to press a button to encode dont even think about mencoder!

[MR Nice]

dat720, I have no time to read manuals thats why I asked here for a quick solution. If someone knows of a guide I could follow with the conversion I would be greatful.

[CWR03]

dat720, I have no time to read manuals
Do you have time to read the forum rules? The very first one says to read up before asking. If you can't even be bothered to read manuals, why would you think anyone would want to be bothered to help you?

[MR Nice]

cwr03, what's it got to do with you what I do? no I don't have that much time I do have a life maybe you don't otherwise you would not make those comments. I work long hours.

[MR Nice]

And I did read the rules about a year ago I can't remember them all. Get a life this place is about helping each other not about who's right and who's wrong, I except the rules I had me hand slapped now other morons want to have a moan..
