Help in converting VOB file to AVI

Linux and Unix-Like UNIX and Linux Applications

Hello to all in forum,

Somebody could help me saying me which command or application can I use to convert correctly a VOB file of more than 5 GB in size.

I have the VIDEO_TS folder with the files:

  • VTS_01 - Stream Information.txt
  • VTS_01_0.IFO
  • VTS_01_1.VOB

The Stream Information inside "VTS_01 - Stream Information.txt" are:

0x20 - Subtitle - English - [SubPicture 01: Normal] / LBA: 7877 / PTS: 00:00:24.471 / Delay: 24190ms 0x21 - Subtitle - Espa�ol - [SubPicture 02: Normal] / LBA: 14374 / PTS: 00:00:37.417 / Delay: 37137ms 0x22 - Subtitle - Fran�ais - [SubPicture 03: Normal] / LBA: 55952 / PTS: 00:02:14.581 / Delay: 134300ms 0x80 - Audio - AC3 / 6ch / 48kHz / DRC / English / LBA: 7 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 / Delay: 0ms 0x82 - Audio - AC3 / 2ch / 48kHz / DRC / Espa�ol / LBA: 9 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 / Delay: 0ms 0x83 - Audio - AC3 / 6ch / 48kHz / DRC / Fran�ais / LBA: 10 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 / Delay: 0ms 0x89 - Audio - DTS / 6ch / 48kHz / DRC / English / LBA: 8 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 / Delay: 0ms 0xE0 - Video - MPEG-2 / 720x480 (NTSC) / 4:3 / LBA: 1 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 / Delay: 0ms

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is tons of tools on the net for such stuff, at least for windows. I doubt this belongs to the shell scripting area at all - moving thread.

Hello zaxxon,

I've tried avidemux, but is not working for me. May be you or somebidy else that have done this before could help me. Maybe how to using menconder script in linux.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Skrynesaver, thanks for your help!

One question:

I've tested with avidemux a sample VOB file and the output in AVI was in faster speed and the subtitles werent present.

So, with this utility ffmpeg, how can I set the options in order to include the correct bitrate, sampling rate, format (720x480, 4:3) and have the subtitles inside the AVI file knowing the characteristics of the VOB file (see below)?

0xE0 - Video - MPEG-2 / 720x480 (NTSC) / 4:3 / LBA: 1 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 /

Delay: 0ms

Thanks again.
