Oh, and if VLC can't, is there software that you'd recommend? It's only going to be used once, so ideally freeware or shareware would be great... and obviously the easier to use the better

Hi all, I have a few files (mov, avi, mpg and one vob) that I want to put onto a DVD so that it can be played on our DVD player (Samsung DVD-P147) at home. This is completely new territory for me, so I have a couple of questions: Can VLC do the conversion? If so, what file format should I aim for? W...

Well it's no longer on a disc, was a back-up from a CD which I broke

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a go!

Merry Christmas.

Bump

Anyone, pretty please?

Hi there, how can I get VLC to play cda files, and even better, convert them to another file format? Thanks in advance! Cecile.

Thank you so much Arite! !!

Cheers,

Hi Arite, thanks for the link! I have downloaded it and managed to go through the rebuild, but at the end it came up with an error: VirtualDub Error Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown) VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video.

Thanks for your help!!!

altglass, if I could find a Smiley with the /worship command, I'd use it :) I've finally managed to work out how to do the conversion, so thanks for that! I just have two last questions: 1) How can I identify which file is the correct one to use (see my previous post for details, which I was editing...

Thanks altglass, would love to try this command line but it doesn't seem to want to launch vlc (see error message below). Weird, as I can run winword, calc, wmplayer etc just fine. Does it have anything to do with the way I've ran / installed VLC? I'm sure I'm close to it... Also, how do I work out ...

I'm so confused and feel quite dumb :( I normally can work out software pretty well, but this is beyond me. I'm operating v0.8.5 on a Vista OS btw, if it makes a difference. So I tried doing it this way: - Set up the file output module settings - Played the DVD (it just displayed a list of chapters ...

Thanks for your reply Funman, yes I only want to extract audio, to play on my iPod. I tried the following: - Played the DVD - Paused it where it was about to start the section I want to record - Went Settings >> Preferences >> Audio >> Output modules >> File - Indicated a path, and filename: extract...

Hi there, apologies if I'm not using the correct terminology or asking dumb questions - I'm not too familiar with multimedia stuff. I have a DVD, the type that can be viewed on TV, with different selections of chapters available. I have 2 unrelated questions: 1) I would like to convert two of these ...
