Converting vob to jpg

I received a slide show greeting CD instead of a greeting card.
I am wondering how I can extract a few pictures from CD (VOB) in order
to print out using Canon ink jet printer.

It's a DVD movie. Put the disk in a DVD player.

And just how will that get him a few frame grabs that he can print?

Most PC video playing software has a facility for grabbing individual
frames from a video and saving them in some form or another. Once you've
done that you can print them.

Be aware that you're capturing TV-quality images, so don't expect much.

Go to ....Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/Troubleshoot/and
then TURN OFF hardware acceleration. (this allows screen grabs)

Play the movie in your computer. Pause at the appropriate spots. Hit
the (Prt Scrn) key on your keyboard. Open MS Paint and paste the
screen grab. Save as a jpg

Most software DVD players for PC have a "screenshot" function, just check
out what you have. It will however be a very low resolution picture (just
the standard resolution for the colour system used NTSC / PAL). You can
assemble a number of small saved screenshot pictures on one page using a
photo editor and print it.

Be aware that any picture that results from a VOB or other video file
will be optimized (rendered) for a TV screen, and even a HD video is
not going to give you a very large result before it turns to total
crap.

It won't, of course. He asked how to convert a VOB to a JPG, not
how to grab a few frames from a video. Fortunately for him, you
and all the other responders appear to have answered the question
he would have asked if he knew what to ask. Life is good, no?

Well, no.

Hi...

For the original poster, there are several utilities out there that will
convert .vob to mpeg. (google convert vob mpg)

Once he has it in mpeg format, he can play it on his computer. Pause it
and do a screen capture, or some software such as ulead video studio
will grab stills automagically and save them as jpg's.

Worth noting, though, is that he's not going to get good large prints
from the jpeg's.

It may be more work than it's worth, particularly if the person who sent
the card may be willing and able to send him the original full sized
jpg's to print from.

Take care.

Right. He didn't say, "How can I grab a few frames out of the MPEG-
compressed video object someone sent me?"

Are you really interested in arguing about this? I'm not. The OP
likely has the answer he needs and has little use for a discussion
of whether his question was clear.
