I'm applying to film school and they want my reel in Quicktime, MP4 codec. I only have copies of my short films on dvd. i.e. vob files (or folders with BUP and IFO).
I have been trying to use SUPER to convert, but find it either comes up with an error, or it does convert but has playback issues. The primary playback issue is that if you click the maximise button to have the .mov file play in a bigger screen, it makes the QT box bigger but the viewable area of the film stays the same (1/4 of the screen). When it does this the film is blown up, as if the image has enlarged, but you are only watching 1/4 of the film.
The quality of the film (when not maximised) is very poor, like it isn't properly digitised or something. Sometimes vertical lines, pixelation, jumps, etc.
I don't really know much about any of this - but have spent several days trying to figure it out using different settings, scouring the internet, reading the instructions over and over.
You might want to try 'StaxRip'.
Check this guide where it refers to the 'Profile' selection of 'CE Baseline' as the Apple Quicktime preferred choice.
Once the support programs are installed and an output Profile selected, the operation is quite uncomplicated
I have used both VOB and AVI as input without problems.
BTW, the CPU usage is quite high.It's best left undisturbed to run.
