  • convert unscaled VOB files with Adboe Media Encoder CS5?

    Posted by Ewan Horlock on January 24, 2011 at 1:37 pm

    Hi there,

    I have just been sent a load of footage on a DVD …it is has 3 large VOB files.

    Basically I need to edit them in Premiere Pro CS5 … can I convert them using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (it says it takes VOB files)?

    If so ..what format should I convert them too ? it says that they are 704×576 unscaled (whatever that means) with 48khz audio

    I have tried to convert them to normal h.264 720×576 DV widescreen with 48khz sound as its the only combination that seems to work …the only problem is the sound is out of sync by a few seconds?

    Any help would be very much appreciated 🙂

    many thanks

    Ewan

    Have tried to put the VOB files on to your hard drive and access them via media browser in PPro? CS5 can edit with VOB natively. 😉

    Hi Jon

    thanks for your reply

    I have tried accessing them through PPro…however they seem to be very disjointed/stuterring and include like a black and white clock time code at the beginning.

    When I put the DVD into my computer it wont play through iDVD or anything …there is just one single VIDEO_TS folder which contains all the VOB, IFO and BUP files…. is this a muxed set of files (spl???)

    So far I have downloaded mpeg stream clip (along with the mpeg-2 component from Appple) and it seems to play correctly now within mpeg streamclip…which is great.

    My only problem is that the project I’m importing the footage into is 1920×1080 … and this footage is 704×576… I’m really not too sure what I should export it as through mpeg streamclip … I’m guessing that all I can do to preserve the quality is keep it as 704×576 and export as a Quicktime Animation?

    and then use it as best I can 🙂

    cheers
