Making video dvd from .vob without reencoding

[Arjun]

I converted some xvid files to .vob using xilisoft video converter and want to make a video dvd with this .vob file without encoding again because it is already in dvd format , few years back i used nero vision for this but now i need a freeware ,

i have tried with convertxtodvd and xilisoft dvd creator both try to reencode the vob , is there a freeware like nero vision which can just add the required .ifo , .bup etc files to this .vob so that it can be burned to dvd without encoding?

Check this article How to re-create a DVD from one or more VOB files on my hard drive this works fine for me.

VobEdit and IFOedit , check out How to author & burn a DVD from VOB trailers/files

Thats a almost 10 years old thread, the links are dead and it requires too much work , i need something where i just import the .vob and it converts it to VIDEO_TS folder.

If you want you can download both the application from here VobEdit and IFOEdit , the method remains same as mentioned in the article, and it works great for me saving lot of time which is unnecessarily wasted in recoding.

Here are some short steps:
1. Fire up nero express
2. select DVD-Video Files under Video/Pictures
3. Next add the vod files, and burn to a dvd,
Thats it

Alternately you can use nero vision, for easily creating the video DVD

I have not used nero for a long time ,i cant see nero express on their site , is it part of nero burning rom or is Nero Vision Xtra same as nero express , nero vision xtra is 826 mb in size , Nero - Video editing, burning, backup software

AFAIK convertxtodvd directly converts vob files and write em to dvd without encoding.
Infact im sure cause i used to do it all the time. Check again...

I tried again and it started reencoding again

 

[edge111hussain]

have u considered the possibility that d initial vob could have errors and hence the re-encode???

Yea there was something wrong with the vob, even nero wanted to reencode it and IfoEdit method also did not work, i used xilisoft to convert the xvids to dvd instead of directly using convertxtodvd to convert the xvids to dvd format because i wanted to fit 5 700mb xvids on a single dvd , xilisoft was able to do this but messed up the .vob, convertx can only fit 4, with winavi i can easily do this but dont have paid version now , only option now is to convert the xvids using convertx into two dvds instead of one.
