Blurry movement after conversion

[Danny Hays]

You can change the .vob files ext to .mpg and edit them in vegas without converting. Also look up no recrompression renders for long GOP files that are just cut and paste, no effects,
and same same format, then you should see “no recompression required” in the preview window while it’s rendering, way faster and no quality loss. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

I’m not sure why, but when I change ext of four .vob files to .mpg and drop them into timeline here’s what I get:
vts_01_1.mpg – original size = .99GB; after dropped onto timeline = 14.08 seconds of footage
vts_01_2.mpg – original size = .99GB; after dropped onto timeline = 15:49.08 of footage
vts_01_3.mpg – original size = .99GB; after dropped onto timeline = 11.17 seconds of footage
vts_01_4.mpg – original size = 416MB; after dropped onto timeline = 12.14 seconds of footage

If played normally in DVD player, it is 50+ minutes of footage.

Getting frustrated! I’m not sure what or why it’s happening.

You should import the DVD using the Vegas menu item: File | Import | DVD Camcorder Disc…

When I attempt to import the DVD (to a destination folder on desktop) using the File | Import | DVD Camcorder Disc option all that happens is it runs for a few seconds then stops, leaving an empty folder. Am I doing something incorrectly?

It sounds like you doing everything correctly. As long as it’s not copy-protected, Vegas should import it.

It’s a recording of my church’s Sunday service. It’s not copyrighted.
I’m at a total loss. No matter what destination (C: hdd, external hdd, or flash drive) the same result occurs.

Suggestions / thoughts?

Thanks

Used mediainfo to check DVD:

VTS_01_0.IFO shows 53:07 DVD
VTS_01_1.VOB shows :26 sec (duration); file size (1GB)
VTS_01_2.VOB shows :11 sec (duration); file size (1GB)
VTS_01_3.VOB shows :25 sec (duration); file size (1GB)
VTS_01_4.VOB shows :13 sec (duration); file size (417 MB)

When Avidemux is used to reconvert to MJPEG and PCM (in AVI cont) I get the complete video but with a little blurring with any movement.

Frustrated!

I wish I had something but I’ve never had that function fail for me so I’m not sure what could make it not work. You might be able to use a tool like Womble MPEG-VCR and see if it can convert multiple VOB files to a single MPEG without re-encoding (I think it can and there is a free trial).
