I have video of me getting to back my car off the transporter when it was delivered that was shot with a cam corder. It's recorded on a mini DVD-R and the file type says it's an IFO. (??)

It'll play in the Power DVD that came with my computer, but I'd like to put in in a more common format so I can watch it in Media Player or chop it up in Movie Maker.

Any ideas?

 

You only have an IFO, don't have a VOB file as well?

 

Yes, I do, but it won't play on anything. (PowerDVD, Media Player, Media Center, etc)

There are 2 folders on the disc.

DVDCAM has only one file: DVDCAM.IFO (it's 32 kb) This is the only file that will play any video.

VIDEO_TS HAS THESE FILES:
VIDEO_TS.BUP (12kb)
VIDEO_TS.IFO (12kb)
VIDEO_TS.VOB (26kb)
VTS_01_0.BUP (26kb)
VTS_01_0.IFO (26KB)

 

Download Total Video Converter, pop the DVD in the drive, click file, and click rip dvd. Choose what format to convert to.

 

I downloaded it, but when I go to convert the file, it doesn't do anything. The file doesn't show up anywhere.
Once I click on Convert Now, the "trial" window pops up and give me the option of buying the software or continuing the trial. I click to continue and the "Converted" folder pops up (which is where I assume the new file should be) but there's nothing there.

I tried converting it to an mpeg. Am I doing something wrong?
