If I have a VOB file, what do I need to name it, and what other files do I need, to make a playable DVD of it?

I have tried a program called DVD Styler and given it an MP4 and gotten it to write to a directory on a hard drive, and used imgburn to write that to a DVD, and that played. But I find DVD Styler takes a long time. Maybe even 2 hours for a 2 hour video. (eg here is the ffmpeg log it shows. 2Mb/s = 0.25MB/s , and on a 1.4GB 2h 30min file, is 1400/0.25 =5600 seconds = 93 minutes = 1hr 30min That's almost as long as the video.

The vob file didn't take that long to generate though as far as I recall at least.

I'm wondering if a program like DVD Styler is really necessary if I have the vob file. And supposing I just want one MP4 on a DVD. And I converted it to a VOB file e.g. via ffmpeg -i bia.mp4 -target ntsc-dvd -preset ultrafast bia.vob as mentioned https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2013-January/012989.html

I want the simplest most minimalistic DVD.. Is there anything simple I can do manually to create that?

  • Reprocessing video files usually takes a long time on an average computer not designed or optimized for video processing. – music2myear Aug 18 '20 at 05:09
  • The dvd has to be "authored" so it can play, there are a few other files created while software authors the dvd and they wont play without them. Just browse any movie dvd and see all the files other than .vob. – Moab Aug 18 '20 at 12:17
