Okay, I make music videos. I`m trying to import Pirates of the Caribbean clips into Windows Movie Maker. I used DVD Shrink to get the files off of the DVD & then I changed the file extension to .MPG, I tried to import those clips into Windows Movie Maker but it kept saying it required a codec I currently didn`t have so then I downloaded FFDShow & tried again. Now the clips import into WMM but it`s only the sound when I play them, I want video & sound. Help, please?

Dude, I found your problem ... What do you mean by you changed the extension? .VOB and .MPG are two COMPLETELY different types of files... You need to convert the .VOB files to .MPG. Try WinAVI to convert them, if you are still having problems then download the K-Lite codec pack and install the codecs that it is asking for... Hope this helps you...

Okay thanks, I`ll try that out. Uhh.. sorry for sounding stupid.. someone told me .VOB files are like giant .MPG files.. o_O

It's cool, we all sound dumb the first couple times we try new/differnt things. Good luck, man!

AHHH!! Can someone give me a link to a free .VOB to .AVI converter?? I ripped POTC & now I have 5 1GB each .VOB files waiting to be converted. (5GBs!!!!) Every time I try to download a converter & try to install it I get the default sound & nothing happens!! GRRR!!
