I want to convert and import a VOB video into imovie 09.
I tried Handbrake. But the m4v file that I got via HB is not recognized by imovie 09.
When I try to import it into imovie, imovie seems to try to import it, then it stops, and no import is actually done.
Is there another conversion step that I have to take?
Thanks.

Haven't used HB for years, but I know it creates some 'weird' files, containing sreams not meant for editing...
In HB, check settings for sub-tiles and chapters to UNchecked... could solve your problem...
Or, do newer versions of HB not offer export- presets to 'mp4'? - try that!
(avoid the HB m4v settings for transcoding to editing)
Thanks.
I tried your ideas.
No change. iMovie still imports nothing.
And I do pick 'mp4' as the target format - but it makes m4v files.

This is the converter I use most http://www.appgeeker.com
I'll bet the m4v here will work...if not try another format (e.g. mov, mp4)
Just recently I found out that Quicktime 10 (in Yosemite 10.10.1) was able to open a VOB-file directly en converted that in that process to .mov file. It took quite some time, but in the end it worked. I guess you will be able to import that .mov-file directly into iMovie 9.

Ben,
My QT Player 10 in yosemite will not open vob files.
Davie,
I found that imovie 10 would import the m4v files. (Had to buy imovie 10 first, of course)
But thanks for the appgeek link.

m4v from Handbrake not importing
