What good freeware converts AVI to VOB?

Gosh, do I really need to make a message body for this thread? the subject explains it all. oh-well...

Does any of you know a good Windows XP compatible program that will convert AVI files to some VOB format or somethin'?
If you do, Post a link please.

I think IrfanView might. It's free, and it converts lots of stuff.

I think I had too much caffeine today.

Yeah, I'll check it out.

Edit: (Dang, I've been doing allot of those today. )

Nope, It doesn't seem to support VOB.
I'll talk about what VOB is in case you are not familiar with it.
VOB means, Video Object. It's Like Mpeg2 but not. <Ha-Ha, An eighth of a byte funny.)
Anyway they are usually contained in Digital Versatile Discs. (DVD) for playback on DVD players.
The end.

Super (C) has always worked wonders for my video conversion needs. I just checked mine, and it says it can convert to .VOB, though I have never done that particular conversion myself before.

I got it. It seems to be working.
Awesome, if this encodes it properly. I'd give you cool points. But I don't have any to give.

You don't typically convert directly to VOB. You can probably use SUPER to convert the video to DVD MPEG2, and then some other freeware to author the DVD and break the MPG into all the needed VOBs and other files necessary for a proper DVD. You can find lots of convertion guides and tools at http://www.videohelp.com/.

What about AVI2DVD?

if your looking to create DVD's "DVD Flick" kinda nice.
Its pretty much just a simpifyed frontend for various outher programs but the way its put together it gets the job done well enough for my needs. It of course will convert most things to vob

Or if you can find a DVD player with a DivX logo, and your AVI uses MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio, you could try just burning the AVI to a disc and opening that in the player.

Well, that's not the case here. I was burning a vid for my grandmother.
She doesn't have the best technology. She does have a modern sports car though.

I guess her PC was fairly decent at the time.
Some specs I just felt like posting:
512 meg ram
dual layer dvd burner
80 gigabyte hard drive ( I don't know RPM's though)
I think it has an AMD Athlon XP (Non overclocked, this whole thing is stock)

It also has a bunch of malicious software installed. (She never uses a firewall)
It got ransomeware on it one time and it wouldn't let you boot. I took care of it though.

Anyway, Back on topic.
I finished my task, you can all go home now.
