I have some some CD's with personal videos I am trying to edit (cut some scenes out, add titles). The files are formatted under VOB files. I tried using Windows movie maker but it does not allow me to open the file. I also have Adobe Premiere but have not been able to use it. Can anyone help me to figuring out if there is a way to convert my VOB files to a format Windows Movie Maker will accept or will I be able to use Adobe Premiere to edit VOB Files??? Please help me out, I need to have this done in two days. Thanks :)

This is an advanced question for this forum, I suggest going here: http://forum.videohelp.com Post your question in the Newbie forum there. I do not believe that raw VOB files can be edited, especially if they are already burned to a CD as a finished project. They may have to be altered or un-encrypted. I have done a lot of video capture and editing, but not converting so I will be the first to say that I am not experienced in this.

GabyBee, You need to convert the "VOB" files contained in the Video file to mpeg files. Try using a program called VOB2MPG: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VOB2MPG it is freeware Then you can edit them in Windows Movie Maker Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructionsPlease Post Results

XPuser is correct; VOBs are actually mpeg2 files in a container, and can be edited as mpeg2 and converted into several containers, including AVI. But they must be "stripped" from the container first.
