Samsung LED TV does not play some DVDs
I have been trying to stream vob files from PC IDE DVD player to my Samsung C LED TV for two months now. It seems there are some vob files that it just will not play, I get the message "video codec not supported".
According to Samsung these vob files never will play as video codec support is hardware based and is not upgradeable.
I therefore need to transcode all vob files.
Now I am reasonably intelligent, having in the past written robotic control software in assembler, however, this video stuff is too steep a learning curve and I am getting too old to retain the necessary features.
So I would much appreciate someone giving me an example of how to force trancoding of vob files, preferably with a maxvbitrate thrown in because I know my old PC machine will not be able to maintain the bitrate unchanged.
The info from a sample vob file that does not play is given below:
