Hello

I have ripped a DVD onto my hard drive using DVDShrink.

This has created a number of other files.

There are a large number of VTS files (whatever they are) and they all range from 18 to 52kb. These smaller ones end in the file name .ifo

There is also another group of VTS files and that range from 10kb up to 1,036,0670kb. These files end in the file name .vob

I understand that i have to convert one or all of these but, and here is where i get confused, i want to watch the movie on my ipod. Therefore i only want one file to open. Not 30 files.

Which file do i convert? Do i convert all the .vob files and if so will that leave me with one file to download to my ipod?

I have downloaded the program Videora to convert them to the correct format for the ipod, will Nero 7 do this job for me?

All help gratefully recieved, i haven't a clue what i'm doing, lol

what you did is rip the DVD to the Hard drive then used Shrink to convert the DVD to a smaller footprint to fit onto a DVD5(single sided blank recordable DVD). the files you are looking at is the DVD itself... all are important and you need them all ...... these are DVD Compliant files..... if you look up what a VOB, IFO, and BUP file is in the Glossary tab on top of this page you will understand about DVD compliant files. What you want to do is convert your DVD to MPEG4 so you can install the movie to your iPod.

I don't like Videora at all but if you want to use that program then here is a guide for it, good luck:

what I use is DVDFab Platinum to convert to iPod and it does a great job..... but it cost money.
