How best to convert VOB files to WMV or similar?

sd8974

Hi,

I'm trying to edit some video and audio files for a friend, some of which are VOB files that he has on a CD/DVD that have come from his video camera - he had this done at a video store.

I am trying to tally up seperate audio and video recordings, so it would be easiest if I could convert these VOB files into WMV or similar so that I can play around with them in Windows Movie Maker. I've done a quick search on the web and found references to plenty of VOB editors, and the odd program you can try for a very short period that can convert media files, but is there a quick, easy & free program that I can download to convert the VOB files with the minimum fuss?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Shane.

I use a program to convert VOB files to MPEGs .... xilisoft dvd ripper .. I think that the latest download is time-limited but you can have a 'very close look' on the internet and find previous versions which are fully working.

You can choose your output file from several options, I use it to store stuff on my PC which I might want to watch when I'm bored surfing but squash the DVD VOB file down to about a quarter of it's original size to save space.

Hope this helps a bit or at least points you in the right dir.
