idk if anyone is having this problem or not, but creating a mp4 or mpg using vlc seems to be impossible. I have been trying with windows and IDK if that makes a difference but I also have the f37 live workstation environment. I can decrypt a dvd, copy and watch a dvd, and even create an iso using genisoimage. I cannot though create an mp4 or mpg.
My latest attempt seemed to copy a title video_ts copy and convert that but the "link in the chain" to other VOBs and such did not continue. This is in regards to vlc which runs on windows and linux, but I have tried several codecs together. aac, aac3, mp4 and mpg, and mkv. There is something always off.
IDK if this is helpful in regards to a problem. But I try to save movies/videos as an iso or if there is no special feature a much smaller mpeg. vlc seems to be unbelievably complex if it can create/convert an ISO or VOBs to mpg4 or another container format.
Has anyone else struggled with this problem and found a solution? Can these things be done using the live image workstation?

I've no idea if this fits your needs, but I always use mkvmerge (from the mkvtoolnix package) to create MKV files from (e.g. mp4 plus srt sources).

Is a mp4 and mkv the same file? I am used to the mp4s but this mkv seems to be getting around now.

They are both container formats but are not the same. MKV (Matroska) containers can be nested and contain multiple audio and/or subtitle tracks, and I think are in some ways more flexible than MP4s, e.g. I've often created MKV files that contain MP4s (and VLC can play them), but maybe someone who knows what they're talking about should chip in here.

I tried this and the response was single field picture found fix audio of mpeg before multiplexing, something likethat. I have no idea what is means. This was an attempt to convert an ISO. Does mkvmerg work on VIDEO_TS VOBs that are not encrypted? This might be the right tool providing I can see what it wants fixed.

mkvmerge creates containers. It doesn't do any video transformations if that's what you need. You may want ffmpeg, transcode or handbrake, but again, I'm not an expert. I did use all of those tools for a time many years ago but without a lot of understanding of what I was doing.

OK I see. I am running into the same problems I was running into before. I can't get handbrake to work at all on windows. IDK if there's a linux version or not. ffmpeg shows more errors the more I tweak it.

I'm pretty sure there is a fedora version in the rpmfusion repos at least. Yep, rpmfusion:
rpm -q -i HandBrake-gui Name : HandBrake-gui Version : 1.5.1 Release : 4.fc37 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Sun 20 Nov 2022 04:31:22 PM EST Group : Unspecified Size : 12521972 License : GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/SHA256, Sun 07 Aug 2022 01:22:36 PM EDT, Key ID e06f8ecdd651ff2e Source RPM : HandBrake-1.5.1-4.fc37.src.rpm Build Date : Sat 06 Aug 2022 01:21:47 PM EDT Build Host : buildvm-07.virt.rpmfusion.net Packager : RPM Fusion Vendor : RPM Fusion URL : http://handbrake.fr/ Summary : An open-source multiplatform video transcoder (GUI) Description : HandBrake is a general-purpose, free, open-source, cross-platform, multithreaded video transcoder software application. It can process most common multimedia files and any DVD or Bluray sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection.
This package contains the main program with a graphical interface.
For encrypted stuff I use makemkv (but I have to build it from the instructions on the makemkv forum).

Not sure why you're mentioning Windows, but Handbrake is available on Linux (in the RPMfusion repo).

Only because I only tried handbrake on windows before, not linux. I have it now (handbrake) on my live workstation f37. It seems to work fine. I had all kinds of problems with ffmpeg before. ffmpeg from cli caused all kind of problems before I probably didn't have something installed it needed. Anyway, handbrake works fine :) I might post some ffmpeg error codes later, but, all seems to work thanks to all.

Handbrake works fine in Windows as well as Linux. If you a looking for a conversion tool under windows that does a range of format conversions, have a look at format factory. It can be a bit slow on some conversions, but it does quite a good job with what it does.
