So I have recently gotten involved with home video editing and producing. I have taken vhs tapes and captured them with a dvd recorder. Then I dump the .vob files to my hard drive and import them into my cyberlink power director software (came with the new video camera). Once I am done editing the video, I then produce into a file format of choice. When I choose DVD format it doesnt give me the option of producing back into .vob format. It comes out in an .mpeg or .avi or vcd etc etc.... Then I have to convert the .mpeg file into dvd format with divxtodvd converter. All this takes an unbelievable amount of time as I am sure most are aware of...

My question is this... Am I missing something?? Is there a setting that will allow me to produce directly into .vob's?? It gets a little irritating producing and converting for hours upon hours at a time and then only to find out that the file created at the end is to big and wont fit on the disk.... meaning I have to go back and reproduce at a lesser quality (more compression) and then convert yet again... I know this sounds silly but it took me almost 8 hours to produce 2 hours into 2.4 gig of .mpeg2. And then another couple hours to convert. I have also tried using Movie Maker and found the same setup was involved.

I am sorry for this being dragged out and boring... It must sound like a lot of complaining.... but if there is an easier way to get the final result... I would be gratefull to learn it!!!!

Thanks

If the mpg is DVD compliant, then you can simply author, no need to convert.

so are you saying that the file DOESN'T have to be in VOB format to play on a standard dvd player???

Or am I just misunderstanding you??

Well some players will play raw mpg's. But that is not what I said. If the mpg is DVD compliant, then you can just author, no need to reconvert.
