Video file help needed
 

I have some autocross footage that was given to me on a DVD in .VOB format.

I was able to convert the file into .MPG and it plays fine in Window Media Player.

When I try to import the file into Windows Movie Maker or Windows Media Encoder the file 'could not be imported'.

I'm trying to edit out a 1 minute sequence which I will compress with WME and then post on YouTube.

The file is currently 14 minutes long and 800mb's.:eek:

My finished 1 minute clip should be 12-18mb's once it is encoded in .WMV format.

I spent about four hours on this last night only to go to bed frustrated.:mad:


Help me!

You may want to try using SUPER and converting your file to .AVI format. AVI's seem to be a little easier to work with, in my experience.

You can download it here.

Many people do not realize that a format, AVI, MPEG, MOV etc can be compressed using different algorithms depending on the target use.

What flavor of mpeg did you end up with, 1, 2, or 4?

That's exactly what SUPER does. It's a free program that comes complete with ALL the required codecs necessary for compressing to different formats. Quite a versatile tool...especially for the price! :D

I ended up using a program called 'Chopper XP'.

I was able to convert directly from a time start and stop point ( 7:20-8:20 ) and created a new .vob file.

I renamed it .mpg and uploaded it directly to YouTube uncompressed ( 55mb )

Windows Movie Maker still won't see it, but Window Media Player will.

Anyway, this is the one and only time I think I will have to deal with this format.

Here's the clip:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x1umCYWO1tg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x1umCYWO1tg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
