I have some videos in .pme or .vob format. I've gotten errors indicating these were the formats.

How do I convert these?

Thanks

what kind of program are using for editing? You should use .wmv, .avi, or mpg/mpeg, the file extensions you refer to sound like some proprietary type deal.

.pme Plazmic Media Engine file

.vob DVD video movie file

VOB

VOB stands for DVD Video Object. It is basically one of the core files found on DVD-Video (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-video.cfm) discs and contains the actual movie data.

Basically VOB file is just a basic MPEG-2 (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/mpeg-2.cfm) system stream -- meaning that it is a file that contains multiplexed (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/multiplexing.cfm) MPEG-2 video stream, audio streams (normally AC3 (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/ac3.cfm) and DTS (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dts.cfm) formats) and subtitle streams.

In order to view stand-alone VOB files, you need to have a DVD player software that supports VOB playback. A good, open source tool for this is Media Player Classic (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/media_player_classic.cfm). If you wish to burn the VOB files to a standard DVDR disc, you need to have all the other standard DVD files as well, including IFO (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/ifo.cfm) and BUP (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/bup.cfm) files. If you have all of the required files, you can follow this guide (http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/burn_dvd_folder_dvd_decrypter. cfm) in order to do so with freeware tools.


I know nothing about any of the following:
