However, it is a fairly simple matter to now concatenate all the individual mp4 files into a single mp4 should you wish. VLC will play each mp4 in order, allowing you to play individual chapters, just like the menu on the DVD would. If you rename the folder to the name of the Video / Movie you can open that folder using VLC. On my test DVDs, most of the VOBs were about 1GiB each, so this will also take a while to encode, but checking the Terminal will let you know when it finishes.Ī zenity script makes the whole thing as bit more automated,

The command above should (it does for me) each VOB to an mp4. Run the following command from a Terminal inside the VIDEO_TS folder:įor file in *.VOB do ffmpeg -i '$file' '$'mp4 doneĮach VOB is a 'chapter' from the menu. NOTE, it will usually take quite a while, depending on the DVD. To copy the VOB files from a DVD, then convert the individual VOB files to mp4 files:Ĭopy the VIDEO_TS folder from your DVD to your computer. To convert a single VOB file to an mp4, try this (from post above) In a terminal:

Linux ffmpeg vob to avi
