i have transfered my holiday video onto dvd and now want to edit it, but windows movie maker does not reconise the video, a message came up saying:- e\video_ts\vts_01)1.vob not reconised by windows movie maker. can anyone tell me what programme I require to edit my movie.
a vob file is a dvd file. You have to convert vob's to avi's if you want to edit them in premiere or something.
If your original source is tape it is better to first edit your material before creating a DVD. If you have it on DVD and you want to edit, you are better off to convert it to AVI as recommendend by other posters. Here's a step by step description how to do it with freeware: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/tutorials/dvdedit.php
To edit your DVD Video use "TMPGEnc MPEG Editor" which is the only program I know of which is capable of frame by frame editing of mpeg2 video. You will not have to reencode your video with this program so you will not lose any quality. It will open your DVD video as is in the vob form. Plus since the program does not reencode the video it only takes a few minutes to process after removing your unwanted segments from your home DVD movie. The program will save the video as mpeg2 and you will have to reauthor the video to make it useable as a DVD again. For this I recomend "TMPGEnc DVD Author".
I have some AVI's that i would like to edit. What app would you guys recomend to edit my AVI's? I would like something simple to use as i am not a pro, Thanks all.
