Quote: I have a dvd that was made for me, but it's in dvd format. How can I change the whole video into another format (.mov, mp4, avi...)?

Thanks

1. copy the DVDs VOB files to your hard drive.
2. Import the VOB files into Powerdirector, putting all of the VOB one after the other on the timeline.
3. Produce to your chosen format.

I would recommend you produce to Mpeg-2 HQ, since that is the format of VOB files.

I should have added that in.

I did that before and I made sure that the clips were all in the correct order and it "worked". The problem with the final .mov file was that when a clip finished and the next one started, it slowed down. The speed changed from 100% to 85% and the voices changed. lol

Now, when the that clip finished and the next clip started, it went down another 5% and the voices got slower.

I was wondering if there was something I did wrong?

I saved it as a small .mov file. The combined video is about 1.5 hours long and it took about a half an hour to finalize.

Why did the video speed change like that? I did do it straight from the DVD and not my hard drive. Could that have caused it?

Thanks for your help,

Yes, it could have.
The VOB files need to be on the hard drive.

You really can not edit video on a DVD.
DVDs do not stream correctly in a NLE.
