I've used my video camera to record some wonderful moments during this Christmas. But when I pasted the folder onto my computer and opened it, it was VOB files. But I need to convert these VOB to WMV videos so I can upload them onto Windows Movie Maker for editing my WMV videos (Which doesn't accept VOB files). I have tried multiple converters but some of them leave a watermark and some have some sort of catch. Finally when I tried Aneesoft Video Converter Pro all my problems easily solved. So here I want to share my experience with anyone who meet the same questions as I did.
This software is quite easy to use and can convert all popular video files including WMV files with excellent output quality and high conversion speed. Considering you might be a novice of computer, let me show you how to convert VOB files to WMV format step by step.
Things you’ll need
1. Aneesoft Video Converter Pro (Free for download trial version)
2. VOB video files
Step 1: Download & install Aneesoft Video Converter Pro
We’ll be using the very nice video converter software called Aneesoft Video Converter Pro for converting VOB to WMV format, head over here and download the free trial version. Next step is to install the program.
Step 2: Run Video Converter Pro and add VOB video files
Now run Aneesoft Video Converter Pro and click the big button "Add..." to add VOB video files on your computer, you may add as many videos as you want to convert to WMV videos. Only the titles you checked will be converted. So if there're some videos you don't want to convert, you need to uncheck them or 'Remove' them from the right-click menu. 'Clear' in the right-click menu means remove all titles in the list.
Step 3: Edit VOB videos: crop, trim, add effects, add watermark
Wanna edit your videos to make it more personalized? You may add a watermark in Aneesoft Video Converter Pro. Just select the title you'd like to add watermark, then click the button 'Edit' to launch video editing window. If you want to crop video or add some special effects, click the first two tabs. You're able to add a text watermark or an image watermark (you may call it logo) on the output video. Adjust the 'Transparency' to make the watermark look better.
Step 4: Merge some separate VOB videos to 1 single MP4 file
Click on the video titles you'd like to merge to 1 single file, then click 'Merge' button and uncheck the former separate files if you just need the single merged video file. Here 'click on the video titles' is not just check the options, you need to click them to make them highlight. You may see the image below to have an idea.
Step 5: Change the output settings to convert videos with best quality
There are almost all common video formats available for you to choose to convert. You may convert VOB videos to different video formats for video editing or playback on your mobile devices, such as iPod, iPhone, PSP, cellphone, etc. Remember that the output file size mostly depends on the Bitrate you set. Larger Bitrate, larger file size. Actually video with bitrate as 768 is acceptable for watching.
Step 6: Start converting VOB videos to WMV videos
Now you may click the big button "Start" to begin converting VOB videos to WMV videos. Once the convert is complete, Aneesoft Video Converter Pro will place a new version of your video. Double-click the new WMV file and play it to make sure it looks as you expect.
