A lot of people are making up their own home movie DVD's, these range from previously made VCD's to Windows Media Player files in AVI format. With the increase in internet connection speeds, its now possible to even share your DVD's with other people.

You may have had your wedding authored to a DVD and would like to make a copy of it, or add to it. Some systems cannot hold one large VOB file, some transfer programs will automatically split up the files for you.

This is not a guide about copying commercial DVD's those type of DVD's are protected anyway. So do make sure that the VOB files you are using belong to you, or you have permission from the owner to use.

Ill assume that the VOB files you have are from different sources, which you would like to add to one DVD., so you dont have the original IFO files.

VobEdit

Make a folder in your hard drive called VIDEO_TS this will later be used to construct your DVD

Make a folder on your hard drive to store all the files, then copy all your VOB's into it

Now you need to rename each file, and in the order you wish them to play. Each will be a new "Chapter" on the DVD

It is important to name them "VTS_01_001.vob" to "VTS_01_003.vob"

Load VobEdit.exe

Click Open, Select the first VOB file, Then Click Open

Now Click Edit > Join Clips

Now select the VIDEO_TS folder to save the new file

Click OK on the next screen

If all is well you should now see the program copy the VOB's to the new location

 

Now close this program.

1. Click "Create IFOs"

2. Click the browse button and select the first VOB file

Now set the language
