Some Background: I have an old DVD that I created with PS Premiere Elements 3.0 back in 2008 on an Windows XP machine which is now long gone.  I do not have the old analog home video tape that I had originally created it from.  The video is only about 25 minutes long.  My new machine has plenty of video processing power: i.e. 64 Gb ram and 500 Gb SSD and is running Windows 11.

Question: Can someone give me some ideas as to how I might be able convert this DVD to MP4?

This is about Premiere Pro, but the ideas may help

Directly editing a VOB... or Ripping a VOB to edit using a note from Jim Simon

The VOB files on your DVD are essentially renamed MPG files

1 - import the VOB as is and see if that will work

2 - rename to MPG and see if that will work

Thank you.   I took a look at  "XviD4PSP 8.1.36 / 7.0.502 " reviews weren't great but latest was back in 2021 so took a chance, downloaded and attempted to install.  Windows Defender gave me a warning to have halted the install for the moment.  Will take a look at some of the editors listed on the VideoHelp website.  

Appreciate your asssistance in providing a new website for me to investigate.

So... 2 more ideas

1 - try the FREE https://handbrake.fr/ open source transcoder/converter

2 - do an Internet search for "convert vob to mp4" (without the " " marks)

I did a search as you suggested on ""convert vob to mp4" (without the " " marks)"  and of course came up with a 'gazillion' hits.  Interestingly enough to me was one of the top hits was for using  "VLC" which I have used quite a bit in the past just for watching videos but never investigated it beyond that for other uses..  I tried that and had success on my second attempt.  First attempt I just didn't read everything so it was my fault, not the s/w.  Thank you for providing a second set of eyes.  My brain is old enough so sometimes it just plain needs some extra prompting. 🙂

I don't know about your brain, but my 75 year old version is not so good with details these days... so I have a text file with all the computer notes I've collected over the years (and other files for other things)

 

Everyone here does the best they can to help other users... I'm glad you were able to solve your problem

Thank you once again for your reply.  This forum appears to be one of the best that I have come across in my years of browsing.  Happy New Year.  

BTW-- I may have you beat by a year but at our age a year is like a minute in time to a youngster.
