AVI has better quality over mpeg and mpeg2.

The key word here is convert. From WHAT? If you are converting from an already compressed format, convert to a LESS compressed format to keep the quality. Recompressing a file will definitely make things worse.

Thanks for the info i think they are VOB files , from what i have recorded from a dvd player.

Ah, Videowave and MyDVD 9 can use those directly with no conversion.

Thanks, like i said i think they are VOB files beacuse waht i have done is recorded this onto a dvd recorder using a dvd rewitable disc via a camcorder then when trying to put this into Roxio it is not reconizing the file.

I've used DVD's recorded on my LiteON set top recorder and also my sister's (not sure what brand). I've never had a problem with either. So how are you trying to use the files? Best way is to just use Windows Explorer and copy the video_ts folder to your hard drive. DVD burners/players are way to slow to work with the files directly from the disc.

 

Open Videowave or MyDVD

create a new project

Then just add video like any other file. Point to the video_ts folder and select the correct VOB.

You will get a dialog box asking to select the movie. Check that and click OK

This is when you have to IFO files, too.
