Browse - computer tips - use ffmpeg import vob into premiere

Date: 2008mar13

Q.  How do I a convert a VOB (that was ripped from a DVD) into a usable
    high quality video?

A.  Renaming the .VOB to .MPG nearly works.
When I try to import such a file into Premiere there is no audio.
To make it usable, convert it to a .WMV file with ffmpeg like this:

	ffmpeg -qscale 1 -i infile.vob -f asf -vcodec wmv2 -acodec adpcm_ima_wav outfile.wmv

Where infile.vob is the input file and outfile.wmv is the output file.

The output file is about the same size as the input file but can
be imported into Premiere.

Takes several hours.
