In the finder, the icon looks like a Quicktime file, and the info box says it is MPEG-1, but no movie appears in the preview window.

Double clicking brings an error message that reads,

“File could not be opened

This is not a movie file”.

Thanks for the help. I ended up re-ripping the source footage using handbrake instead of MacTheRipper. Handbrake can make avi instead of the VOB file. That solved it, so the problem was indeed something with the VOB file.

I’ll check out Bink.

That’s a good idea, can you suggest a converter program that might be able to do it? Final Cut Pro won’t import the file, nor will IMovie.

I have EasyWMV, which works, but it dropped frames, and changed the framerate, so it’s fired.

I’m Mac OSX.

Source video was ripped from a DVD into a VOB file, then renamed into a .mpg file. No compression. 720×480. 29.97.

Much Thanks.
