1. Re: how to export timeline sequence to .vob in premiere cs4?
John T Smith Nov 22, 2012 7:44 AM (in response to muralidesigner)As far as I know, Premiere by itself will not export to VOB, but will export to MPG
A VOB is created by Encore, as the final stage of authoring a DVD

2. Re: how to export timeline sequence to .vob in premiere cs4?
Bill Hunt Nov 22, 2012 9:20 AM (in response to muralidesigner)I agree with John T. Normally, the creation of a VOB (Video Object) container is done in an authoring app., like Adobe Encore, which he mentioned. Up through Premiere Pro 2.0, there were limited authoring capabilities, built in. However, with PrPro CS 3, those were removed, and all authoring functions were provided with Encore, which has shipped with PrPro, ever since.
Now, the VOB is just a container. It will have mostly the MPEG-2 DVD AV file, which can span several VOB's, which are only ~1GB in size. The first VOB might also contain the DVD Menus, and navigation instructions, all of which can only be ~ 1GB. If those elements are less, then the first part of the MPEG-2 DVD AV file will be in there also.
While I do not know one, there are probably utilities available, that can wrap an MPEG-2 DVD AV file into a VOB. Still, you have Adobe Encore, and it can do that, plus a whole lot more, so just finding a program to wrap the MPEG is likely a waste of time, unless you have other, very specific needs.
To utilize Encore, you have basically three ways (as of PrPro CS 3 and up) to accomplish that:
- You can use ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) to Import your Sequences/Timelines directly to Encore.
- You can Export a DV AVI file, then Import that into Encore.
- You can Export an MPEG-2 DVD file, then Import that into Encore.
Good luck, and if you do have some other, specific needs for the VOB container, let us know, as someone might have suggestions for that.

PS - If you do go the Encore route, and are not familiar with that program, I strongly recommend the very good, and very active Adobe Encore Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general
