Well, you are getting a lot of advice; let me offer more. The suggestion to use DV is probably the best suggestion so far because it is only 5:1 slightly lossy, very well understood, and very interoperable (no generic container required). Moreover, the ffmpeg -target option supports it to make it very easy: ffmpeg -i in.vob -target pal-dv out.dv Alternatively, if you do not want any further loss of quality and are willing to make large files (2:1 compression over uncompressed), try the "Lossless Matroska" preset I added to Kdenlive's Transcode. Right-click the clip in the Project Tree, and choose it. -- +-DRD-+
