Iraq a Cameramans Story

[Roger Rabbit]

I have this 1 hour documentary on my computer recorded off sky. Its in VOB format :| Itsa quite good and deals with a 2 man BBC team that was embedded with the Royal Marines and also John Simpsons team who recorded the events taking place in Northern Iraq. If anyone gives me a dummys guide to making this into a file available to download then i will host it for a couple of people (i only have a 25k upload speed) who can then host if for a couple of other people and so on. Anyway is anyone interested?

[Dennis G]

I dont know how to host it but I sure would like to see it.

[Dennis G]

Try making a torrent file (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7564) and upload it(the .torrent, not the .vob) to suprnova.org or some such site.

maketorrent is here (http://www.softpedia.com/public/scripts/downloadhero/10-6-69/)

edit: Btw, vob files can be played in real player and windows media, so no prob there.

This is a very good documentary. John Simpson and his team are the guys who got bombed by the Americans, so the footage is quite unique.

[Raistlin]

The one where theres friendly fire at the end, killing kurds and brits?

If so its a good documentary

I don't think any Brits died. Only Kurdish fighters and an Iraqi translator. I could be wrong...

And American SF.

You're right, I meant to say it fell on the kurd and brit convoy

Also it killed an afghani cameraman

Thought it was an American SF and Kurdish convoy.

Thought it was an American SF and Kurdish convoy.

Could very well be, I haven't seen it in a while. I just remember British because of one of the BBC guys asking the American soldier if he'd "called his friends off" (which I'm sure the American wasn't impressed by since he'd just been bombed as well).

[SFontaine]

I think I saw this on the History Channel a few weeks back. Good combat footage.

[Roger Rabbit]

It was a American SF and Kurdish convoy. There was no mention of any American casualties. I'll sort the file out tonight after work so it can be uploaded via bit torrent. Thanks for everybodies help.

Very sorry folks but due to a particually nasty virus this is going to have to wait till i have got my computer sorted. Hopefully that will be done tommorrow evening after the joys of formatting. Luckily the video is on DVD and has not been affected. I'll tell you as soon as it is available. I'm aiming to start uploading it tommorrow or wednesday. Sorry for the delay. If any of you know anyone who creates viruses then beat them with an iron rod for me. Thanks.

You might have trouble doing a conversion with a VOB file.
VOB's are what DVD's use.
And to convert it, you have to have an app that can re-frame the video and de-interlace it from the audio, then re-sync the audio to the video.

They make apps that do this, although they're illegal due to DVD encryption schemes.

I've personally ripped DVD's in the past successfully, but you have to run it through a few seperate apps that do different things and they take a looooong time to do this.
There are tutorials that tell you how to do this, but they require learning and patience.
I highly doubt that Windows Movie Maker could accomplish this. And if so, it would likely degrade the quality ALOT.
Your best bet is to make it into a Divx or Xvid format, but before you do that you have to convert the VOB into an mpeg format of one kind or another.

Not the whole world has DMCA-like laws...

There was a Documentry here in Canada shown on CBC news about war correspondents and it was totally uncensored, very gory and hard to watch, you wouldent see something like this on American TV, as for one it shows many dead US troops.

I believe however though that the documentry did have several clips from BBC war correspondents, one specific section in the documentry focused on these 2 or 3 British war correspondents in Northern Iraq fighting with American and Kurdish forces along the Kurdish/Iraq border.

That shockumentary was such a joke. They tried to make it look like the US soldiers tried to kill civilians

VOB is just MPEG2 format taken directly off a DVD. Sometimes they're encrypted, sometimes they aren't. If you can get the VOB off a DVD without issue then chances are you can simply rename the file's extension to MPG and view it with an MPEG2 compliant viewer. Also, it probably means the file is quite gigantic and you'd be better off converting it to a more net (even broadband) friendly format like DivX unless you can find a big reliable place to host a few gigs of VOB MPEG.
