Title: Problem burning .vob file to DVD for use in DVD players.
Post by: hinesy on June 12, 2008, 07:02:24 AM
Hi, and firstly apologies if I have been thick and missed something obvious but!

I have a wmv file on my PC that I would like to play on my dvd player. It'll accept all DVD formats, so that's not a problem.

What I've done is this:

Using Super, I converted the 1.5GBwmv file to a .vob file. But of course I want it good quality so taking some advice the settings on Super I used resulted in one big 4.4GB .vob file.

I've since realised that .vob files aren't supposed to bigger than 1GB, but here I have this 4.4GB.vob file
Which plays perfectly well on my pc.
But I want to burn it to a DVD (using DVD-RW at mo, but shouldn't matter) and Nero and or other programs I have won't let me burn the .vob file as its too big.

So:
1. does that mean I have to accept less quality and reduce the file size of the .vob when I convert it from wmv using Super?

2. or has Super messed up and converted the wmv file wrongly

3. or is there another way I can convert the wmv file to play on my tv via the DVD player that is still high quality.


The programme I want to burn is 1hr49mins long btw

A newbie thanks you all in hopeful anticipation.  :)


I do have ConvertX to DVD but can't understand how to do it, as it doesn't appear to recognize my DVD=RW file.

While, The problem is evident. The software you used can not supported encrypted Blue bury DVD players , I suggest you use Xilisoft DVD Creator (http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-creator.html). it not only provide better video quanlity but also convert very fastly. And The most important things is that it can supported encrypted DVD player format and decrypted DVD player format !
