Q: IMovie '11 storage - VRO and VOB
I was hoping that someone could please help me if possible. I used to have an older Sony Handycam DVD camera that used minidiscs. I have about 100 of these things. What I would like to do is transfer these minidiscs to regular discs. What I had attempted to do was purchase a converter that would convert VRO files (apparently some of these minidiscs I made as VROs and others as VOBs(?)). The converter I purchased will put these in a .mov format that eventually I can put in to imovie '11. The minidiscs that are saved as VOBs when I attach the camera with a minidisc in it to my mac gets placed directly into imovie.
What I would like to do is one by one take my minidiscs put them into imovie and then place them on a regular size dvd. My fear is that if I don't get these off the mindiscs (while this camera is still functional) eventually I might have a hard time since the mac computers don't accept these into the slot. Am I making this hard by trying to place things into imovie and then burn a disc from these. Is there something different I should be doing? Is .mov not what I want to be converting VROs to? What do VOBs become converted to once they go into imovie?
AM I better off just leaving these VOR and VOB minidiscs as is and not putting them on full size DVDs?
Thanks
Andy
