Mac: Consolidating .VOB files
Hey guys so I've never really bothered with the whole ripping DVDs thing before but I tried it recently because I saw Battle Royale and wanted to save it before giving it back to my friends. I ripped it with MactheRipper and while that was a painless process I'm now sorta stuck with the main feature streched across 4 .vob files. And I was wondering if theres any application that can jsut combine these into one file, preferably an avi.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
So you want a transcoding application. Why not just rip directly to AVI DivX using a piece of software like Handbrake? You can rip straight from the DVD to a DivX file without ever having to rip the VOB files to disk. Or you could use ffmpegX to compress them.
There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have been fooled into thinking that macTheRipper was good! Time to get Handbrake!
(And cheers.) This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
MacTheRipper is really for just making copies. Rip, decrypt, strip region encoding, and make copies for all your friends.

Yeah, MactheRipper isn't bad, just used for different things, i.e. when you need the VOB files for some particular reason. HandBrake is quite useful though, as a one-step compression utility.
And, why DivX AVI anyway? C'mon now, this is the future! H.264 with AAC audio in an MP4 container! I was speaking idiomatically.
killmoms - Well, don't really.

AMEN!
And: MacTheRipper is great when you have to give in DVD's really quick and have no time to do the encoding straight from the disk. Like when renting new dvd's that have to be returned the day after... Or in your case, when you had to give the movie back immediately. Use it as a middleman. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
So Basically MactheRipper creates a copy that's then made for burning back to DVD? I understand now. FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Maybe you know how to extract the subtitles from the VOB files so I can then combine them with my H.264 .MP4 file? This way I can choose when I use subs or not. Although I don't really think it's possible to do so using quicktime as your MP4 player...
Right now, when I need subs, I just encode them directly onto the videotrack. It works really well using handbrake, but ofcourse then I no longer have the choice whether or not I want to use subtitles... :-s Double Post: Actually, I have another question... Handbrake doesn't want to encode dvd's where only the main .VOB files are available. It says it can't find any title... Only when I do a full dvd rip, it can find the titles to encode... But the .VOB files I have contain the full movie... Any solution for that problem? Jam it back in, in the dark.

As for your second question, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you have ripped VOB files that Handbrake won't rip from? Because, no, it won't. You need an actual authored DVD to use Handbrake. For main-title VOB files only use something like ffmpegX. There's nowhere I can't reach.

yeah that's what I mean... Pity :-(
