How to Convert VOB for Editing in Pinnacle Studio

The easy workaround to edit VOB in Pinnacle Studio is to convert VOB files to WMV or AVI for Pinnacle Studio. Here is a quick-start guide.


I usally saw Pinnacle Studio users encounter problems when attempting to import and edit VOB files in Pinnacle Studio like this:

"I just bought Pinnacle 16. And cannot seem to import my VOB files. I had been using Pinnacle 12 but it is not compatable it seems with Win 7 64 bit. So I upgraded to 16. Appreciated help with working the VOB files. I have hours of WW II gun film that had been digitized into VOB."


As far as I know, VOB is basically a MPEG-2 video file which is stored in Video_TS folder in a DVD. As this kind of video file usually contains one or several audio tracks and subtitle tracks that are multiplexed together into one stream form, it is not so easy to playback directly on PC or Mac. To get VOB and Pinnacle Studio to play nicely, there easy workaround is to convert VOB to Pinnacle Studio editing-friendly formt like WMV, AVI.

Actually, it's not as difficult as you imagine. What you need is just a common video converter like EaseFab Video Converter. The program supports creating high quality AVI or WMV video for your Pinnacle Studio, no matter what's the format of your source video files (VOB, MKV, MP4 and more). The result ensures smooth editing without any trouble.

Below I will share the full guide on how to prepare VOB files for editing in Pinnacle Studio. Hope it will give you a big help.

Step 1: After downloading, install and launch the VOB to Pinnacle Studio Converter, click "Add Video" button and load your video files into it.



Step 2: Click "Profile" bar to determine output format. Here we choose "HD Video" -> "AVI HD" as output, which seems to be the best one due to the great video quality but small size. Of course, MPG, WMV are also the proper formats for Pinnacle.



Tip: By clicking the Settings button beside Profile, you can adjust the output video/audio resolution, frame rate, bit rate, etc. to customize the output files to get the best quality you want.

Step 3: When everything is ready, click the Convert button and all the imported VOB files will be converted to WMV or AVI for Pinnacle Studio 18/17/16/15/14 while keeping the original quality.
