Hi Please help if you can

I have spent the past 3 months ripping all my DVD collection to a single .vob file using DVDfab & DVDshrink. 2 Great programs that I can highly recommend.

The problem is I now have 100+ movies in single .vob format, each about 4.3gb in size. The problem is when I need these files to be less than 4gb to use on FAT32 (slingcatcher only recognises FAT32 on external harddrives). How do I convert a single.vob file to less than 4gb - DVD shrink will only compress usign the .ifo files which I no longer have.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

You can try a couple of things. Get IfoEdit and use the Create Ifo
function. Or get DVDAuthorGUI and see if it will load the single
vob to author a VIDEO_TS folder. Or you can try SVCD2DVD and load the
.vob file as an "asset" and see if it will author a VIDEO_TS folder.

Another alternative is to get VCDGear
(get v.355 then unpack the v.356 update onto it)
and rename the .vob to .mpg then select mpeg->mpeg conversion
with "fix errors" checked. You should end up with an .mpg file
with navpacks that you can use in authoring programs like DVDAuthorGui.
In fact SVCD2DVD uses a command line version of VCDGear.

The only one of the above that isn't freeware is SVCD2DVD and
that has a trial period so you can see if it will work. I have
it and it's a pretty good tool to have around esp. if you have
any VCD movies you want to put on DVD.

You could also try Rejig (a decent transcoder).

You can calculate what percentage you need to shrink. It will probably be a 3 step process, the final is the mux/author, but it can all be done in ReJig. The results can be quite good. Start in File mode.
