I have a DVD with videos on it that was used to project on a background screen while a chorus sang accompanying music. The format on the dvd is IFO. How do I convert it to a format so that I can put the video and a cd of the choral music on a dvd (or cd)
IFO stands for InFOrmation. IFO files don't contain any video or audio. They're just instructions on how to play the contents of the VOB files on a DVD. If you don't have VOB files there's nothing to play or convert. You said you have a DVD so you must have 1 or more VOBs. Those files need to be on the disc as well. Use Nero to burn to a new cd or DVD.
Start your burning software and create a new data disk layout Insert a blank DVD and run your Burning software Choose the "DVD-Video Files" option Click the "Add..." Browse to the folder Select the two folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS and click OK Start burning Note: If your Burning software does not offer a "DVD-Video Files" option you can just burn the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a DVD, however this will be less compatible than a correctly burned disk
To burn a VOB file to a DVD±R disc, one needs other standard DVD-Video files as well, including IFO and BUP files. The burning is/can be done with software such as Nero, Roxio Toast or ImgBurn.
MPlayer, VLC media player, Media Player Classic and more platform-specific players play VOB files.
