There must be a Newbie, Newbie Forum

It is called the F1, Help function.

If you have no notion of what bitrate means, you have no business editing VOB files with a professional application like PR without some basic education.

The VOB is a Video Object, and is a wrapper, for the MPEG-2 files (they can span several VOB's), and perhaps the Menus and navigation. This ARTICLE links to everything that you would ever want to know about DVD-Video.

Good luck,

PS - I think that Harm meant to say that a VOB can be up to ~ 1GB in size.

Everyone has to start somewhere

Very true.  But that "somewhere" is not here, it's with a proper education.  You don't just hop into a car without knowing how a car works or the "rules of the road".  First, you learn how to drive before you actually try driving.

Now when it comes to video production, I'm personally a proponent of a formal education.  Go to school, learn what you need to know, and then give it a try.

But however you decide to learn, Harm is right by saying if you don't even know what a bitrate is, then you're just not ready to be doing this task.  You need the proper education first.

Just imagine the look on your passenger's face if they told you to brake at the red light and you said "What's a brake and how do I use it?"

This is not aimed at anyone in particular, but if we don't warmly welcome our newest users we could someday end up with no users at all. It's good to point users toward training materials and other avenues of education, but they should not necessarily need to get a formal education to complete a simple export task.

We all have a right to choose which threads to respond to or not. If something is just too basic and elementary to spend your time on, then just move on to the next post. There is no need to tell anyone that they don't belong here.

Then why reply to me instead of the OP?

Becaue you were the last one in the list. Your comment was totally innocuous.

JStrawn,

You will get zero disagreement from me.

We've had a few Video Lounge discussions on "how people learn," and a formal education is certainly one way, and a good one. However, I do not feel that it is the ONLY way.

Several new users came initially to these forums, TO learn. Most also supplemented that learning with the manual (back in the days), or the Help File. However, the forums provided them with some very useful background, and gave them great tips, when they became confused.

Even with a full formal education (film, back in the day), I came to this forum, after having read the manual a few times, and working through CiaB for Premiere Pro. I still needed clarification on some points, and the folk here, provided those answers.

Did I have a "leg up," with a background in analog film editing, some years with other NLE programs, years with digital Still Image editing, plus those manuals? Yes, but I needed the help from this forum to get beyond. I still can recall those days, when I was very new to PrPro, and hope to extend the same help to others, that I received - sort of "paying it back."

OK, enough said, as I am getting very OT, and am not helping the OP, other than to let them know that we were all new once.
