Can you rename a vob file

Previous MVP's have told posters in the past a couple of things. One, to download a ripper and change the format of the video. Since this version of MM supposedly accepts. Besides, every time I change video file formats with a ripper, I risk "losing something" in the tranfer.

Other MVP's have said to rename the. I can't figure out how to just rename a file to make it a. How do I do that, specifically? Further, am I missing something? If the Windows 7 version of MM says it will work with.

It should be just drag and drop into MM or import, no? Also, can you recommend any other good software other than ISO Buster? It seems as though I have a couple of disks that show empty but are full, I confirmed it by popping it into my camera. Sorry for the long post, Thanks in advance, Angie. Like most of these things. It doesn't work at all. I can't open it i movie Final cut pro etc. But noooooooo You can;t do it Handbrake doesn't recognise it etc.

Wow — you've just saved me hundreds of hours. Now I want to edit them, and I was facing doing a conversion for each file each conversion was taking about 1 hour and 20 minutes! Now I am just copying the files and renaming them. What a godsend! Thank you thank you thank you! Followed your instructions, but when I got the files imported into Windows Live Movie Maker, they are only 15 seconds or so long rather than the 15 minutes or so that the file actually is.

If I play the files on a media player, the timer still shows 15 seconds maximum length, but the whole file will play. I can't edit it, though. You must be logged in to post a comment Login.

VOB fullfile. Dina November 26, at pm. Hi, I have just renamed to. AngieD January 21, at pm. Martin February 18, at am. Phil April 24, at am. CJ Rhoads June 24, at am. Jim Beaver August 31, at pm.

Trouble is Encore doesn't like VOB files. Any thoughts? Strange considering vob files are actually essentially mpeg.

To answer your question directly, Yes it is possible and I do it all the time but that doesnt mean Encore will still like it. Give it a go ,you have nothing to lose. There are vob to mpeg converters free, expensive but available if encore says no. If your needs are simple. PS Try this It wont replace encore but is handy for simple projects and is dead cheap Ok Cheers senu, I'm going to give the rename business a try when I get home tonight so I'll post my findings later.

If all else fails I might give that Ulead software a try, cheers for the link. Problem was it took ages to Transcode whilst trying to make the DVD. It took an hour and then I got fed up waiting and cancelled it.
