Did you get a disc with the camera, which might include a DVD transfer/authoring program? Maybe you require it to help transfer to the PC...

Generally a IFO file refers to a DVD information file that stores information relating to Chapters, Subtitles and Audio Tracks, etc. The Other DVD files include VOB and BUP files. This suggests that your video is in a dvd format...

There are many free video converters about, so perhaps have a look at super...

The videos are on a DVD+RW. The camera didn't come with any software. So I'm confused on how to convert these file.

Travel to the camera manuf. website and see what programs are available for this.
You could probably DLoad an Owners Manual from there as well...

IFO is not a video file, it's simply DVD Info File - VMGI (The Video Manager Information file)

smitty10492 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 11, 2008, 01:12:11 PM »

Well it also says something about a BUP file. I can show you what it says but i don't know how to paste a screen shot on here.

When i got to try to put in windows movie make i get this

The file E:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.

i tried another on of my files on the DVD

The file E:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.BUP is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.

I don't know if any of this will help but i have no idea what to do here

Also The camera is a Sony Handycam

There's no guaranteed method for importing DVD camcorder movies into the Windows XP version Windows Movie Maker and editing them. Windows XP doesn't include the required DVD decoder software by default. Many of the consumer DVD software solutions available don't consistently work with every camcorder because some of the software packages don't include both the necessary video and audio decoders.

There is a way, which works for me.
Get free Media Coder: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
When you open it Add all .VOB files from E:\VIDEO_TS folder, then, see my screenshot:

It'll convert all video files to .AVI format, which is recognized by WMM.

That's why I asked. I was going to see if I could locate software (if there is any) for it.

Ohhh I got lost. I'm still curious as to what the model of the camera is. I'd like to see if I can locate some official software for it.

Yes, it's my B-day.

Happy B-day to me. Happy B-day to me. Happy B-day, dear me. Happy B-day to me.

i have another question bout this. I put the file i converted on my flash drive and went to play it on my other computer. i opened it, and it is only audio, their is no video. Why did this happen? Any ideas to make so i can see both the audio and the video?

Broni · « **Reply #30 on:** May 11, 2008, 05:00:09 PM »

Maybe, we took wrong approach.
You may need to rip your DVD.
Try this free DVD ripper: http://www.smallvideosoft.com/*SPAM URL*/
It should convert your DVD to AVI file, for instance.

smitty10492 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 11, 2008, 05:26:28 PM »

Saved to file:VTS_01_1.avi. Warning: Incorrect timestamps found in the source file. It is recommend to specify the framerate manually for this file.

What does that mean?

Broni · « **Reply #32 on:** May 11, 2008, 05:43:30 PM »

I wouldn't worry about it. See, if it plays.

When you ripped DVD, did you select a whole DVD?

smitty10492 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 11, 2008, 06:07:24 PM »

it didn't play, ya it was the whole DVD. It save to a CD with no problems so I'm not worried about it.

Broni · « **Reply #34 on:** May 11, 2008, 06:42:52 PM »

Hmmm...I just ripped DVD, and it played fine. Not camcorder DVD, though.

When i said my Camcorder, It really was a member of the project and now that the project is done. I forgot to write it down when i gave it back to them. I don't think I find out sorry. I know is that it was a Sony.
