[jlevine31]

Hi all-
I'm new to the forum but was wondering if somebody could direct me to a program that would allow me to rip a DVD from vob files?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Sorry for a little ineptitude, I'm new at downloading any kind of video. As far as the source they are files I downloaded of a P2P site...here's the description
Video Attribute :
Video compression mode : MPEG-2
TV system : 525/60 (NTSC)
Aspect Ratio : 4:3
Display Mode : reserved
Source picture resolution : 720x480 (525/60)
Frame Rate : 29.97
Source picture letterboxed : Not letterboxed
Bitrate : Disk 1 8.000 Mbps
Disk 2 8.400 Mbps
Disk 3 8.400 Mbps

The files show up on my computer as just VBO.

My hope was to burn them using dvd-r (off of a macbook).

You can use Popcorn but that program has a fee attached to it. It really works well though.

The cheapskate in me is coming out but is there any freeware that you know of?
Thanks

go download a dvd imager http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19456 and make the vob file/folder into a *.iso
then use simplyburns burn the image file to a DVD http://simplyburns.berlios.de/ or here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19778

My mind told me burn maybe able to do the job directly, but I just got it installed, and hadn't have any chance to try it, u can try it if u want

Note: all freeware

Clevin-
Thanks for the info! The site I downloaded it from already has the images in a *iso format. Is it possible to just use the macthe ripper than to burn those files onto a DVD? (I ask because I came across a free download just now).

 

[clevin]

oh, dear, that would be really easy
use either simplyburns or burn to burn the image (*.iso) to dvd, just choose their "burn image" function.
mac the ripper can rip your DVD disk to your hard drive as VOB files, so its not what u need here.

Clevin-
I'll give it a shot tonight. Thanks again for the info., it's really helpful to a mac newbie like me!

I also use VisualHub (look on google for it) and tell it to burn that .ts or .vob into a dvd image.
