I can easily enough send the sky+ pictures and sound to my pc, but how can my PC recieve them as VOB files??

Is there a program I can buy that will convert the file as it recieves them? or convert them afterwards?

any info appreciated

I don't think you can capture them directly as .vob files as these are DVD format.

You can capture as .avi or .mpg and then use Nero to burn a DVD from them though (which will do all the complicated conversion to .vob).

It can get very complicated and there are usually umpteen different ways to do things.

HTH.

could try clone dvd it will accept vob files and either burn them to dvd or create an image

Capture Sky as mpeg2

Use a 3rd party app (Ulead DVD Movie Factory 2 is a good 'un) to convert the mpeg to DVD format, splitting the mpegs into chapters etc also.

How do you get the stuff to your PC? I have Sky + abd would be interested in doing this. Do you do it thru Vdieo in on your GFX card?

Thanks guys, but i'm sure I heard of a prog that will convert incoming files to VOB, I'll keep looking and if I find it I'll let you know..and yes .. it is to burn to DVD.. ie full series of something , with chapter selection etc

BTW.. which program do you suggest to capure as MPEG ?

any more ideas ??

Geezer. You can either use an S-video out socket from either the tv or connect directly to the Sky+ box and hard wire it to your pc, or the way I do it is use a wireless transmitter from the TV setup and a reciever plugged into my graphics card.
