VOB (DVD Video Object) extension, and these are the files you are interested in. All the files that contain a DVD (MPEG-2) video have the.


You should know some things about the files in that folder (VIDEO_TS), because it's better for you to know what you are doing than just doing it like a robot. Open Avidemux, go to 'File -> Open' and search for your DVD-Video folder that you've just copied to your hard drive. Click the 'Start' button and let Automatix2 do its job, you will know when everything was installed and you can close it. Then go to 'Media Players and Editors' and check AviDemux. Open Automatix2, go to 'Codecs and Plugins' and check the following: I guess you have Automatix2 installed if not please take a look here. Now, you need to install Avidemux (2.3.0 is the latest stable version), which is one of the fastest and best video editors/converters you will find these days (did I mention FREE?), and of course all the multimedia codecs. The following guide can also be applied to DVD-Video movies.īefore you start, copy the DVD-Video to your hard drive. What are you going to do? The following guide will teach you how to achieve this task in a few minutes (except the conversion process, which is done automatically and takes between 30 minutes and 1 ? hours, depending on how fast your computer is and the video codec used). But you'll have trouble going back to MOV/MP4/MKV from AVI.Let's say you have a DVD camcorder, you've recorded some important events and now you want to convert them into AVI format. Note that AVI wasn't designed to natively handle h264 but, in practice, it works fine. Then you should be able to cut/trim the AVI with VirtualDub with no loss of quality. Then, if you want to convert MOV or MP4 to AVI with no loss of quality, you can use a program called MP4Cam2AVI. I don't believe Avidmux has the option of MOV yet, but it shouldn't make any difference. MOV is just the container and MP4/MKV should be able to handle the same video streams (e.g. Both can do lossless cutting.įor MOV files, you can save them as MP4 or MKV with Avidemux with no loss of quality. For AVI containers, my first choice is Virtualdub. The 4k video is very big in file size and I would like to trim it with no loss (if possible) in quality and archive them.įor trimming video, my first choice is Avidemux for any format other than AVI. HI, I just need an editor that can edit/trim the 4k (MOV format) and save as 4k (MOV) or 1080 FHD.
