Video Editing Questions???
 

1. Does anyone know a free program that converts .VOB files (decrypted DVD files) into AVI, Xvid, Mpeg, etc. ???

2. Better yet, does anybody know how to splice up videos? For instance, I have a certain video and I only want from 0:25 to 1:45 of it. How would I go about doing that? What program do I need?

Please let me know. Any help would be much appreciated!

Canopus ProCorder 2 should be able to handle your conversion needs. You will need a torrent, tho, since it's not a free program. Also, Downunder is the resident expert on it.

As for the splicing... Windows Movie Maker? I dunno.

just checkout www.videohelp.com for the answers to all your questions :)

TMPG is really good for converting VOB files, and there are many programs that can be used to edit videos:

virtualdub for avi files, tmpg for mpg file, etc

just check out the above site listed, it will help you with everything you need!

windows movie maker will do all the splicing, the Sample X vid i made was all in windows movie maquer.

I use AoA DVD Ripper to convert from DVD to a movie file, then I use Windows Movie Maker to edit.

I hear Sony Vegas is a good program too, but a lot more complex than WMM

how do you convert VHS to DVDDDD without using the computer? like i have a VCR and DVD player in one unit there has to be a way to record onto it.

I think you would need a DVR thing, not just a DVD player, but I've never done that so I can only guess.

Yeah, you need one of those 2 in 1 dealies that specifically says that you can record from vhs to dvd. Most only do dvd to vhs.
