but now i want to get a vob-mpeg converter and im all set -
@Lewzair - change the extension. Window$ defalts to not showing the extension. From My documents folder:
Tools - Folder Options - View - Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". OK and you will see the extension.

@Lewzair
If you follow Blutach's steps you should be fine. For example Vts_01_1.vob will now be Vts_01_1.mpg. If you play this .mpg file and you're not getting audio then that's a separate problem.
By two files do you mean the audio_ts folder and the video_ts folder? You can disregard the audio_ts folder. Just look inside the video_ts folder and all the files you need should be there, vob, ifo and bup. You're only really interested in the .vob file.
After you've renamed it to Vts_01_1.mpg load it in Windows Media Player or Nero Show Time or whatever. You should have both video and audio. If not then go back to DVD shrink and preview the original video to make sure you have audio there.Last edited by moonrocks; 15 Jan 2006, 01:47 AM.

This is common in Windows Media Player to not play the audio... you need a codec... not sure where to get it tho.CYA Later:

Lewzair, I am still having the same problem. WMP will not play it even though I change the extension. This is my 3rd day trying to work this out. If someone can just help me step-by-step to convert this home video into an mpeg or avi file that will play on my Palm Zire I would be thankful to them for life..........Comment

Try this approach, step by step. Start with DVD Shrink. Under Edit, Preferences, Output files, uncheck "split the file into 1 GB chunks". Open your DVD and do the Backup.
Now, in the folder where Shrink wrote the files, inside the video_ts folder there should be a file vts_01_1.Vob. This is the file you need. Rather than renaming, what I'll sometimes do to make an .mpeg file from a .vob file is to use an mpeg editor. You can download a free trial version of VideoRedo Plus here:
Start VideoRedo Plus, Under File, Open Video, change "Files of type" to .vob files. Now navigate to where your vts_01_1.vob file is. Open it. Play the file inside of VideoRedo to check for good video and audio. If it's good then click File, Save As, you will be prompted that there are no cuts defined. Just click yes to remux the entire file. Then save as type "MPEG Program Stream".
Just to reassure yourself everything went well you could then re-open your saved vts_01_1.mpg file in VideoRedo Plus to check that it plays OK. If it plays fine then you are done. You have a good .mpeg file.

Moonrocks, I think I'm getting closer. I've DVD Shrinked the file and went to VideoReDo and I see the vts_01_1.vob file. However I open it in VideoReDo and it appears in the window but I can't get it to play. Any suggestions from this point???Comment

When you hit the play button with VideoRedo do you get an error message? Go to Tools, Quick Stream Fix, give the output file a different name and save as an .mpeg program stream, click start quick fix.
If that doesn't repair then .mpeg, then I have to believe the original .vob is corrupt. When you are in DVD Shrink can you preview the video and does it play successfully there? With the main title highlighted in the upper left window click the play button in the lower left window. What happens?
Also, in VideoRedo ,under Tools, Select Stream, what shows up for video and audio streams for your .Vob file?Last edited by moonrocks; 16 Jan 2006, 03:39 AM.
