reading DVD files

I have some stuff on a DVD I recorded using a cyberhome DVD recorder and
I've tried to download the files to make movie project's but the programs
supplied on vista won't recognise the file's? Then I managed to save them as
an iso file but that only saved the first chapter thats on the DVD, nothing
else.

any idea's?

Re: reading DVD files

The files with the video on your DVD have the extension .vob. Windows Movie
Maker will not handle .vob files per se; you have to convert them to a form
that WMM can handle. I convert my .vob files to .wmv format, using Windows
Media Encoder. There are other tools that will do this task, some of which
can be seen at this web site: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/forums/

Re: reading DVD files

Just Copy the vob files to your hard drive and then Rename from test.vom to
test.avi
or what ever fits...
