Hi there, new to Avidemux. I have a VOB file from a home video ripped with DVD Decrypter to my Windows 7 PC and can open the VOB in PowerDVD and play it fine.
I'm trying to add it to Windows Movie Maker, but it says it can't read the file so I want to convert it to AVI (it can read VOB1, just not VOB2 for some reason).
When I open the problem VOB in Avidemux it shows encoder as Lavcodec, defaults to copy video output, copy audio output, and output format is AVI Muxer. I save the AVI and when I click to open it, it opens as if its an audio-only file. If I try to add it to WMM, it shows the full length of the video, but there is only audio.
I have tried different video output settings and output format settings, with no success.
Any ideas to help me convert this? ;D
for windows movie maker try re encoding video to mpeg-1 with avidemux 2.5.6, keep avi container.
I have version 2.6.1. Is there a big difference? Also, for Video output, I don't have "MPEG-1" as an option. I have MPEG2 and a few flavors of MPEG4.
Yes 2.5.6 is frame based and better suited for vob, MPEG-1, ... . 2.6. branch is time based editor. You can have both alongside
Keep the "Output Format" as AVI, but change the "Video Output" to MPEG4 ASP (xvid). See if that works. :)
