Rip from DVD straight to MPEG2 format? (without re-encoding)
Hello!
I have some footage on DVD (in .VOB format)
I have been told that .VOB is basically an MPEG2 with extra information…Is there a way to extract the footage and remove the information that makes it .VOB?
I need the footage to be in MPEG2 so i can put it into Adobe Encore with other video files to burn.
I dont want to have to re-encode it as this will cause loss of quality! Is there a way to rip the footage off the DVD into MPEG2 format?
any help would be very very much appreciated!!
cheers
Matt

There are a number of programs that do this. Are you on MAC or PC? You looking for free, cheap, or pricey demuxer?

I think the DVD-Logic DVD Demux is your best bet and only $40.
The free ones will do just fine also.
I hope this is what you were looking for.

Which version of Encore are you using?
Have you tried to just import the VOB?
In the Project window, rt-click / Import As / Timeline / then for file types select ALL FILES, and select the corresponding IFO file — or the VOB file). This doesn’t always work, but might be worth a shot…

I use PGC Demux all the time. It is free, and works perfectly….it doesn’t convert or recompress or anything.
