Help Converting Video

Thundaar · 03-12-2008, 05:10 PM

My friend let me borrow his DVD before he left on vacation (won't be back for a while) and I ripped its contents to the hard drive before giving it back to him. I want to transfer this to my Cowon A3, but it's just way too big.

It's 7 Gigabytes and in DVD-9 format. I merged the VOB files into one with VOBMerge and then I tried to change the extension to .MPG which worked. Only problem is that the file won't go onto the player for some reason (which can handle so many files). So can someone help me out? Point me to a program? Something? I really want to see this video on my TV from the player. He only really let me borrow it for a day, and I couldn't watch it on that day because I had to get so much work done so I ripped it.

Any help would truly be appreciated. Be a friend, lend a hand.
