I used DVD shrink to convert a dvd to files onto my computer. Now i want to edit these files with pinnacle studio 8 but need it in a format it will reconize. How do i do this? (such as mpeg 1 i guess... what would be the best format, i am planning on putting it back on a dvd when done)

well ... converting your dvd vob files to mpeg1 will
severely degrade the quality of your movie.
because your movie is in vob files for a DVD that means in
mpeg2 format... try a vob extractor of your choice to unwrap the
movie back to mpeg2 video stream + soundfile and you will be able to load it into pinnacle studio.
"vobedit" is such a tool to extract your video stream into mpeg2 format and DVD2AVIis the most simple to extract the audiotrack
of your choice.Last edited by shiny#3; 14 Jul 2004, 09:50 AM. -
Ripping in file mode should be enough but why would you want to use IC8 for editing? It was never meant for that purpose! If you think that IC8 has more edtiting features than DVD Shrink then perhaps DVD edtiting is not your strength."Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

Perhaps another approach would be best. The editing tool DVDReMake by Dimadsoft is an excellent tool for the beginner to intermediate level (there are some freeware, don't know of ease or functions though). No switching of formats. You do as Sophocles stated, rip in File format. Then use the DVDReMake to edit and export to your transcoding software of choice to do the burn.

No ideea what Pinnacle studio can use for imput, but if it accepts mpeg2 streams, you could use vobedit to demux the individual streams from the vob files, and go from there.Comment
