Hey

Last year Sam and I went on the Skyscreamer in town on Vic St... and we paid the little extra to have it recorded (its SO funny)... anyway... the CD only plays on computers with DVD players... and nothing else...

I'd like to load the video up to youtube.com so I can share it with whoever (cause I find it so funny...)

The file format of the video on the CD is: ".Vob" (or at least I'm assuming this is it... there are 2 other file types on the CD, I'm picking the .VOB one because its the largest one at 89MB... the other two extensions are: .BUP and .IFO)

Does anyone know how to change this to .mov or whatever file type Windows Media Player plays?

Cause youtube.com doesn't recognise the file format I'm trying to upload...

Thanks

Can't help you myself but google (http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q=vob+extension&meta=) might be able to.

Try this (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/108963) as well.

Just use AutoGK (http://www.autogk.me.uk/).

Seriously it's a point and shoot solution which will do the job for you without having to get into the specifics and details.

Well done. That isn't a CD you've got, its a DVD. Different language. The files are DVD. Needs to be compressed and converted into....what? Can't remember.
