Importing DVD (.vob files) into iMovie using ffmpegX Hi, I am wondering if anyone has used ffmpegX to convert vob files into DV format. I am having issues with the actual import by iMovie as the aspect ratio gets screwed up and everything looks short and fat. I use the DVD (4:3) video picture setting in ffmpegX . I am using iMovie 6.0.4. Anyway, my main question is: has anyone used ffmpegX successfully to convert from DVD to DV and iMovie? I know that MPEG StreamClip works well with the QuickTime mpeg2 component, and neither iSquint nor HandBrake have produced the quality mp4 files needed for TV viewing. I guess I have to shell out the $20 bucks if I want high quality conversion. Any ideas and comments are greatly appreciated G4 400 (AGP), Mac OS X (10.4.11), Sonnet CPU 1.4 Ghz, ATI Radeon 9200 AGP Posted on Mar 29, 2008 3:14 PM Posted on Mar 29, 2008 3:33 PM No, I have never used ffmpegX for this, but if you need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle you need mpegStreamclip: which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin : which is a mere $20. Another possibility is to use DVDxDV: which costs $25. Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Fact that a standard CD-ROM which will hold 700MB of ISO data will holdalmost 800MB (799) of VCD data...Now I'm thinking this leaves out room on the burn for ERROR CORRECTION...so your file has to be perfect for the player, and suchmaybe If you re-burn at 2x???Just a thought forty-two and ffmpegX will. I do not have much experience with 42 in that respect though... I mainly used it for Divx.Using ffmpegX, it is important to use the mpeg2enc engine as opposed to the ffmpeg engine. This sounds confusing, but its not a typo. Mpeg2enc will generate compliant streams as will the Toast VCD component. Did that MPEG file I posted work for you? That was created with Quicktime. Member I tried using the mpeg2enc engine, the mpeg file it turned out was only the first 40 seconds of the movie, and it was not VCD compliant either. I tried 42 again just to check, and the mpeg file it turned out wasn't compliant. :)-The box said "Windoze 98 or better," so I bought a mac. (a quote stolen from someone who, in turn, stole it from someone else)-:) Member the file you gave me did work though. And files from my friends PC work. :)-The box said "Windoze 98 or better," so I bought a mac. (a quote stolen from someone who, in turn, stole it from someone else)-:) then the problem lies with your setup of ffmpegX and/or mpeg2enc.I strongly recommend reading the manuals of ffmpegX on Major's site. It is very concise.
