VOB to MPG w/sound?
Hey all. I’ve received some DVDs from a client, who wants me to edit the footage on the DVDs. My problem is how do I get the footage on these DVDs without having to go through a deck?
I was told that to convert a DVD file into a usable file in an editing program, all you had to do was rename the VOB file extension into an MPG extension, and that you could import the file into Premier Pro. The thing is when I do this, I’m not getting any sound. Is there another VOB file with sound?
If not, are there any recommended programs to rip DVDs into high-quality AVIs or MOVs? I was told to use Flask, but I don’t find it to be that great.
Thanks!

Just import the mpg, and it should take a while to do it’s generating the peak file thing and then it’s there.
I did this last week, and thought there was no audio either, but once it has generated the peak file it’s fine.
Choose the biggest file in the Video_TS folder too, just to make sure it’s the right one. It’s also an idea to copy the files off the DVD to your HD, because sometimes it doesn’t work if you try and do it straight from the DVD (sorry if you’ve already done that, and I’ve been really patronising!)
Hope that helps,

Hmm, it doesn’t generate the peak file. No audio no matter how long I wait. I’ve been going in circles trying to find a a program that can at least convert VOBs to a usable format, and nothing.

Try DVD2AVI that you may download here:

It used to be free, probably still is.

I find sometimes I get audio, sometimes not.
If not, I drag a mpg to the timeline and export a WAV, then lay the WAV on the timeline, disable the original audio track, then export and AVI
Use Premiere as your file converter, seeing as you already have it, and most of the conversion programs take a while to process anyway, you might as well use what you know. -
Wow, I’ve spent hours trying to find a program that works this simply. I’ve gone through so many of them (freeware and trial versions) and one are as good as this one. Thanks much!! It feels good to be able to leave work today knowing I achieved at least one thing!
