Hello, aftef much debate about dvd to avi or dupping, I am curious to know if anyone can help me figure out how to create .vob, bup, and .ifo files after I have brought vhs video into my computer in raw avi and pcm format? Initially I thought of converting these files to DivX, but then with the Pioneer 104 burner, Win XP Pro, 1.2gig processor, and 512 SDRAM memory with two 80gig ata 100 7200rpm hdd's, I thought maybe I would turn my vhs items into real DVD formats. Any suggestions on this and software requgired?

I did this recently (took a looong time going through all my VHS tapes). In general, I did the following:

1. Capture the VHS video into AVI format (Canopus DV format in my case).

2. Edit/enhance using Premiere or equivalent editor, save as AVI.

3. Calculate the optimal bitrate (using http://www.vcdhelp.com/BitrateCalc.zip), and Encode the AVI to MPEG2 using either TMPEGEnc or CCE.

4. Author using DVDit or Scenarist.

5. Burn to DVD-R using PrimoDVD.

Many other good tools to do the same job, but these have become my standard tools.

You may want to bump-up the processor speed if your tape collection is large. My PC didn't get turned off for months during this exercise. Capture/edit by day, encoding by night.

Rgds,
jnihil.
