I don't know if VLC media player can do this. What I used to convert DVD to MP4 is a tool called Moyea DVD4Web Converter - http://www.flash-video-mx.com/dvd4web-converter/
It is a shareware though it works really well on converting DVD to MP4 and has a lot of features for customizing the resulting video.
the package tells what software it can use.
avi. i think
Use a DVD ripper
The DVD player can run a mpeg file.
You do not need to convert any files to play it on a computer. With a suitable DVD decoder installed, almost any modern media player, such as Windows Media Player or VLC can play it without any conversion.
Most do, yes. As long as the format of the file is one that the dvd player recognises. Most DVD's are backward compatible to CDs and the laser that can read a DVD can also cope with recordable media.
One way to do this is to purchase Nero 7 Ultra edition and it automatically encodes the file to a DVD file and burns it to a disc for you. It's very simple to use.
You may be missing some codex in your Windows Media player. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling your Windows Media player to correct the problem.
you can save the ripped DVD as an .avi file which can be played by a free sofware like vlc player
You can get a DVD or DVD-RW and burn it from windows media player.
Save file to a computer, then burn to DVD disk
Definitley a DVD Camera.
