Hi,

I am currently upgrading an existing procedure of distributing foreign language 
samples we produce, from mpeg2/DVD to mpeg4/video clips, distributed over 
the network. 

I prefer to bypass the DVD option of our dual DVD/HD camcorder. I rather 
process the VRO files from the HD recorder directly. 

But if I remember correctly, the following also worked with DVDs (VOBs) made 
from this camcorder.

What I found to work with the camcorder output is:  

1. MPEG Streamclip: convert from VRO (or VOB) to mpg

2. VirtualDub MPEG: convert from MPG to (mpeg4 encoded) AI, including 
cutting into clips

Both applications are free.

Hth, 

thomas
