Stonkin Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 source file is a .vob or .dat if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Tried some thing windows movie maker, it isn't brilliant but it may work. Failing that I'd use virtualdub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i use windows movie maker (free if you`re using service pack 2) ideal for cutting small clips, not sure if it supports the file type you mention though, you may need to convert it 1st.

Stonkin Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 bit more help please ive managed to break the 1 large .vob file down into chapters, saved as .wmv I used Magic DVD Ripper to do it. But whenever playing them in media player it says media player cant play the file, the player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file I have downloaded a codec pack from google and installed it but it made no difference. Can anyone recommend anything or be able to do anything with the file if i sent it to them? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
