I have .VOB files and when I try to open source it says "no valid title found" All the files are .VOB

I'm using Handbrake version 0.9.1 cause from my understanding this was the last version compatible with Mac OSX Tiger. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to somehow extract the files more?

You might try MPEG Streamclip...I do recall some weirdness when trying to open some VOB files in the older Handbrake versions.

Hi Dj Green T,

Handbrake 0.9.1 is nearly 3 years old, I'm afraid that it may be quite out of date. You could try the Handbrake forums for help -> handbrake.fr (click link). Failing that, as DJMark suggested you may need to look at using another program which is still compatible with Tiger.

I'm now using my Sony Windows XP laptop to try to convert. I downloaded the latest Handbrake 0.9.4 I believe but now I can't find the link for the Video SL preset. When I click on it from Serato.com or scratchlive.net it either says the link has been removed or it just brings me to a page with no link. Where can I get the preset?
