Video .vob file

I am new to video on the web. One of my web page customers
has a 30 minute video of himself being interviewed on television
and wants it posted to his web site. I am at a loss. It is a .vob
file and I copied it and changed it to .mpg but lost the audio.
Should I be doing it in Flash. I use MX version of Flash,
Dreamweaver and Fireworks.Video .vob file
Hello,

a VOB file is a file that is taken off of a DVD. Your best
bet to put that online is to use something like Handbrake on the
orignial DVD to rip it into a QuickTime. If you only have Flash MX,
then you are a bit limited as to what you can do with video, so the
way to go might just be to create a pretty compressed QuickTime and
post that. There is no simple answer for getting video on the web,
but that should give you a place to start.

Thank you for the quick reply. Should I upgrade Flash to the
latest to get better capability?
If you're still on MX, then for a number of reasons, you
should upgrade. There have been three more versions and the latest,
Flash CS3 is a big leap in a number of areas. The scripting is
better, there are many more video options, including H264 playback
(which enables HD quality video through flash), and the workflow
with Photoshop (and fireworks too) is much better. No matter what
you do, you're still going to need rip that DVD, as Flash video
encoder won't be able to deal with a VOB.
Thanks again BSpero. I will upgrade and continue to look for
a good tool to rip a DVD to an mpeg2, 3 or 4.



Thanks again.
BSpero, I took your advice and went to download Handbrake but
it would not setup unless I update my .NET Runtime Library from
Version 1.1.4322 to Version 2.0. I ''X'ed'' out and deleted Handbrake
.exe and documents. I know nothing about this update. Will it
impact my current work which ranges from KEdit to Frontpage to
Dreamweaver to Fireworks to Flash to Photo Lab x12 etc..



Thanks

Joe
