I have found that DivxToDVD can convert the occasional Quicktime formated video file, to VOB but that is very rare.

Can anyone recommend a good (free) program that will do this.

If not, can anyone recommend a good (free) program that will convert Quicktime to JPG/AVI/MPG because I can alot burn those formats to a DVD as they are.

Thank You

First: don't. A MOV ha a low-middle quality, so converting it to VOB (correctly, into M2V + WAVs, which will be authored to an .ISO image containing a .VOB set later) is a waste of time.

Convert them to MPEG-1, instead, then if you want to heve more room per media, author , with DVD Lab , many VCD movies on a DVD-R (470' of VCD movies on a DVD-5 , 900' of VCD movies on a DVD-9).

Second: you'll not convert a movie into AVI (lossy format used only for export purposes). Probably you'd convert them to MPEG.
(.MPG; MPEG-1: VCD; MPEG-2: SVCD and DVD). And, of course, you'll never convert a movie into a JPG (still image). You counld make a (S)VCD/DVD filled of 'stills', instead.

Third: an encoder? I use TMPGenc + Quicktime movie reader plugin ([http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/q... QTReader.VFP which just has to be copied in TMPGenc's directory), but it depends on your preference...for instance TMPGEnc isfree only for MPEG-1 files (VCD) but you'd have to pay for it to encode MPEG-2 files..

But it didn't seem to be your concern: you just wanted a program to make VOBs, and the answer is:
1) make a M2V (+an audio stream: WAV; AC3, DTS...), first.
2)'author' it to a DVD image(DVD Lab , ReJig and many others)
3) burn it

With your help, I did some searching and found a good program called Ashampoo Movie Shink & Burn 2.

It does alot, quick good quality converter. Also it does something that Ive been trying to do for awhile, converts a DVD into VCD at 700mb.
