Hello:

My wife and I purchased a Sony Handycam dvd-rw. The salesperson at the store told us to purchase along with it Sony dvd-rw mini-discs that hold 1.4GB. Anyway….. to get to the point. After shooting the birthday party I finalized the cd as instructed to do. I then put that minidisk into my computers cd/dvd drive and downloaded all the .vob files into a folder on my desktop. If I open a program such as “Cyberlink Power DVD” or “Realplayer and go to File | Open and double click on the first .vob file it starts to play. If I try to do this in Microsoft Media Player nothing happens.

Anyway…my real issue is how can I get those .vob files changed into a file format that most cd players will play? And how do I get it onto a regular dvd-cd disc?

I hope you understand what it is I am trying to do here. I am not the best at explaining these technical things. I have been all over the help files on the internet and on Sony’s site yet the "tech speak" is a little too much for me. Is there any way you can break it down for me? Is there a program I can buy that will help me that you can recommend?

Thanks for your time.

First questions, do you have a DVD or CD burner, if so, which and what software do you have for it.

What you need is software that will accept the VOB files and burn to disk. I would go to Google and search on VOB files to see what you can find. There is a lot of info including tools to help you.

What was wrong with the answer, Fred? I asked for more information and suggested what he needs to find. All this appears to be is an attempt on your part to find something you can criticize me for.. But all it really does is show what a mean spirited vindictive person you seem to be.
