Making a DVD out of a .vob File

I have used ConvertX2DVD for years... works flawlessly ...

Windows Movie Maker (free with WLE 2011) can open VOB files and burn to DVD :)

Well, we tried

Although I do like the Xilisoft app it seems to do everything :)

Sothink didn't add the files either. So....

It even says .avi on the website. But it doesn't add it into the program. I'm startin to think it's my PC. Converted to .mp4 and it still doesn't do it.

Converting Wma --> AVI --> DVD will end up being a very poor quality DVD.

Any time you recode, you always loose some quality. Its best to keep it as close to the original as possible.

The only other free option I know of is Windows Live Movie maker. Youll need to start with the original wmv file though i beleieve.
its also extremely limited in what it can do.


While i have no experience with the free program suggested, perhaps it just needs the original wma file to create the DVD?


The only ones I know of that do a good job are paid products.
Although many may not agree, here are a couple paid suggestions that offer a free trial to check it out.

One is Convert-X
It doesnt have the best quality IMO, best its fast, and can work with a large variety of files.

It basically just takes a Video File, and converts it to DVD, even with the option of creating menus.


Then theres NERO
This is what I use, as it gives decent quality. Also, allows the creation of menus, and allows you edit the movie. Cut or add scenes etc, then converts and burns to DVD.

Just for future reference, another way you can do it with free software is using DVDAuthorGui:
The homepage of DVDAuthorGUI

I've used this program for years. Choose PAL or NTSC click Add Title and browse to the .vob file. Click the Author DVD Button. You get a VIDEO_TS ready to burn with Imgburn or another burning app. You can also add menus if you like.
