What is a VRO file?
Video format used for streaming (real-time) recording of DVD discs; contains actual audio and video recordings; works with .IFO files, which tell the DVD player where the VRO files are located.
VRO files can often be converted to standard .VOB files using conversion utilities like AuthoringWare DVD Integrator and AVS Video Tools VRO Converter.
Some video-editing programs can read VRO files if the file extension is changed to '.mpg.' However, this does not alter the file format. If the file does not open after changing the extension, you should change it back to '.vro.'

The mini-DVD VRO converter will convert VRO to iPad on Mac with best quality. Deinterlace VRO for iPad. You may notice that there are lines when playing VRO on the converter, and the disc must be recorded in interlaced mode. To avoid the lines on output videos, just select a video. If all you want is to convert a VRO recording to an MPEG-4 video, all you need is Handbrake. Just drag the.VRO file to your desktop, change the extension from.VRO to.VOB, then open the.VOB file in Handbrake. It works fine. Can't figure why people here were having so much trouble - unless VOB support has just recently been added to Handbrake.

I discovered this the other day. After hours of playing with utilities like ffmpeg, bbDemux, etc to try and convert VOB, MPEG2 and odd codecs of AVI video files to QuickTime, I finally found the export video feature in Toast - seems to work with just about any video format!

The only reference I can find to this error is in regards to burning music CDs from iTunes ot Toast.

I believe that MPEG Streamclip will open .VRO files, although I haven't tried it yet. It certainly says it does in the documentation:
'MPEG Streamclip is a converter, an exporter, a player and an editor.
It can open many file formats: muxed files MPEG, MPG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, VDR, PVR; transport streams TS, M2T, MMV, REC, VID, AUD, AVR, TP0; demuxed files M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, AIF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3; QuickTime compatible files MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, DIVX, WMV.'
MPEG Streamclip is downloadable free from:

MPEG Streamclip (a very valuable tool otherwise) fails miserably to copy, open or process .VRO files, at least those coming from a Panasonic DVD-RAM recorder.
The only tool I found able to extract the contents of .VRO files is Toast Titanium 7.

I thought this might be because the disk hadn't been finalised but that made no difference - same error.

After some more investigation the problem appears to be not with the video format but with the disk format. Mac OS knows about UDF 1.5 disks, whereas video recorders are using UDF 2.0.
The way I solved it was to open the disk in Parallels using Win 2K and drag the VRO file to a shared folder. Dragging and dropping on to MPEG Streamclip then worked as it should. (I'm still using Toast Ti 5 which doesn't have the video tab option, as far as I can see.)
Let's hope this is fixed in 10.5. It seems rather lame that the Mac offers excellent video editing and DVD burning straight out of the box, but can't read a common video format disk.
There don't appear to be any free solutions - I'd be interested to know if anyone finds one. In the mean time, the Parallels solution works fine. For completeness I also tried it in Virtual PC using XP and that worked too.

Someone gave me a DVD just a few days ago and I have been trying to extract the video off it to no avail. so this hint is very timely!
However, being a mere mortal, I don't have much of an idea about using the terminal and sudo. So I started a tutorial on the Terminal (at http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/ct/51but if someone knows of a better tutorial please let me know) .
I think I can get up to speed on sudo but I am having trouble working out how to find the directory for the DVD in the terminal. I can find other folders no problem.
(At the moment, the DVD does not appear in the Finder yet Toast sees it and it is locked.)
Thank you very much in advance!

Assuming the DVD mounts in the Finder - do this:
In the terminal just type:
cd <space>
then drag the disc icon of the DVD from the Desktop to the terminal and it will fill out the path.
You should see a path like : '/Volumes/'nameof dvd you just dragged'/'
Then just type ls <return> to see the files and folders
Hope it helps

whoops - didn't read your post properly about not mounting in the Finder
Sorry man
If Toast reports the name of the disc - then you should be able to get to it using'
sudo cd /volumes/nameof disc/

Thank you very much for getting back to me. Really hope I can solve this.
I am trying according to your instructions. but I get a ‘No such file or directory' message.
I cannot see the disk in the finder, but Toast sees it and comparing the name that appears in the Copy tab of Toast (next to Read from: )with the name that appears with this DVD it appears that the name is: DVD-VR Disc
If I put:
sudo cd /volumes/DVD-VR Disc/
in the terminal, I get the ‘No such file or directory' message.
So perhaps that is not the actual name. How can I find out what the name is? I tried opening Disk Utility but it does not show up there either.
Or perhaps I need to represent the space between VR and Disk with a special character.
I tried doing this with a regular DVD and after I put in the password I did not get any special message after pressing return, it just returned to the usual prompt. Hmm, I hope someone can help out.
Thanks in advance!

1) The path has a space in it, which the command line uses to separate arguments. Spaces in paths need to either be escaped by a backslash or surrounded by quotes, as shown below:
% cd /Volumes/Some Directory
or
% cd '/Volumes/Some Directory'
Video Converter For Mac Rapidshare
Your error message was probably '-bash: cd: /volumes/DVD-VR: No such file or directory' (notice, no 'disc' in the error message?)2) 'sudo cd /some/directory' may get you into a directory that your user doesn't have permission to, but you'll have to preface every command in there with 'sudo' (eg. 'sudo ls' to list the directory). Hopefully you have permissions- to find out, try (with '% ' denoting the prompt):
% cd /Volumes
% ls -l
If it shows up in there, look at the permissions. Which leads me to my favorite command line tutorial at OSXFAQ
The 'ls' link explains users and groups with a link to permissions. Also, the 'autocompletion' link should save you a lot of time.
If you don't have permission, things get more complicated.
Hope this helps! Problems like this are a great way to get into the command line.

You could try: .the ' escapes (tells Terminal to ignore the special meaning of) the following space character. If this doesn't work, check that you can actually see the DVD in Terminal: (the 'sudo' may not be necessary, but if your disk somehow has permissions set to only allow reading by root, then it would be, so leave it in just in case) If your DVD isn't listed, then Terminal can't see it, in which case I bow to somebody smarter (there are many).

In fact, you don't need to create a DVD image. Once you have added the contents of the .VRO file to the DVD project (and before quitting Toast), go to the Documents->Roxio Converted Items folder and there you will find the MPEG-2 file. Then, it can be reencoded using ffmpegX or other tools. Handbrake, unfortunately, requires a DVD (real or image).
Here's another one:
I use Fast DVD Copy from Switzerland. I can copy DVDs from any region -- like those DVDs I pick up in Asia -- and copy DVDs that no other program can handle, or that even my TV/DVD set-up can't read (i.e.: only viewable on my laptop).
It was a life-saver last year when I was traveling into the boonies and didn't want to take the originals along. I made copies of commercial movies and protected exercise DVDs, and used the option to save to disk. Fast DVD Copy removes all protection and regions. [I have zip, zero to do with this company. I'm just grateful because I have young nephews who think it's cool to 'borrow' my DVDs and trade them in for pocket money.]

It's not cheap, but damn, it's fast, and worry-free. One shot is all it takes to get a working copy. And when I finally get a MacMini as a movie server sitting below my TV screen, Fast DVD Copy will be what I use to plough everything onto the 500 GB hard drive.

Well, I am getting closer but not quite there yet. Glad to know there are so many helpful people out there.
For some strange reason the DVD now is appearing in the Finder. (I restarted!). So I typed in:
sudo cd
then dragged the DVD icon to the terminal, and it looked like so:
sudo cd/Volumes/$ Dvd Rewritable Volume $/
I pressed return and got the following:
sudo: cd/Volumes/$ Dvd Rewritable Volume $/: command not found
I also tried with the VRO file itself. I dragged it in after sudo cd. Here is the result:
[John:~] jones% sudo cd/Volumes/$ Dvd Rewritable Volume $/DVD_RTAV/VR_MOVIE.VRO
sudo: cd/Volumes/$ Dvd Rewritable Volume $/DVD_RTAV/VR_MOVIE.VRO: command not found
[John:~] jones%
I hope someone can suggest something. I just noticed that the person who started this thread wrote:
A quick sudo (via !!) later I was greeted with two files: VR_MOVIE.INF and VR_MOVIE.VRO.
I wonder if (via !!) has some specal meaning?

First of all, to me it seems like the OP said that he couldn't solve the problem in the terminal, but needed to use Toast. So I think you could drop your problems with the Terminal for this time.
To adress your questions, it seems like you forgot the <space> after the cd command. It should look like sudo cd /Volumes/. not sudo cd/Volumes/.
The cd command means change directory, so after a succesfull run, you should get your normal prompt but now you are located in a different directory and can look at its content with the command ls. I recommend the UNIX FAQ that can be found in the forums! (http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=40648)

Yes, thanks for the link and explaination.
Yes, re-reading the initial post I now realize that using sudo etc., are not going to help.
When I see the file in the Media tab of Toast it has a lock on it that does not allow me to do anything with the file.
Has anyone managed to be able to get around this ‘locked' file problem?
Thanks.

Problem, though. I finalized the dvd in my recorder and put it in my computer and nothing shows up. How do I get it to show up on the desktop to begin with?

This is how I have been able to get .VRO files from my Canon DC50 DVD camcorder to my iMac, a combination of reading a few forums:
Software needed: Toast, ReadDVD, MPEG Streamclip
The key to unlocking the files in Toast (I have toast 8) was to download another piece of software readDVD ($50) This allows the mac to read files in UDF.
After installing, and hooking up the camcorder via USB. all the chapters in the DVD section of media browser were unlocked.
I loaded the files into toast (DVD-Video) and then grabbed them from the 'Roxio Converted Items' in 'Documents'. So I had the files on my HD. Then I converted to .DV with MPEG Streamclip (free) and iMovie would take the file.
I am still playing with the conversion options in MPEG Streamclip to get good quality and reasonable file sizes. (Exporting to DV seems to work OK.) It cost me more that I wanted it to (needing to buy Toast & ReadDVD) but I can use the Mac and DVD Camcorder as I wanted to now.
Hope this helps.

I successfully ripped .VRO files from a samsung dvd burner/player by mounting the disk on my imac, dragging the .VRO file to my desktop and then changing the .VRO to .VOB
You can then use Visualhub to convert to any format you like!
Happy Ripping.

The system described above (drag the file to the desktop, change its extension from .VRO to .VOB, and convert) is by far the simplest method of all. But let me add a little update. Since Visualhub does not exist anymore, use iSquint (http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/19769/iSquint1.5.2.dmg) to convert to the format you need. After coversion, if all you wanted was part of the VRO video, use QuickTime Pro, select the part you want to keep, and choose Edit > Trim to selection. Save as 'Self contained Movie', et voila!

I've never had trouble. When you get the folder open. save the VR_movie.VRO to a folder on your comp. then open it in Windows Movie Maker. Then just save it to your computer! simple as that.
If all you want is to convert a VRO recording to an MPEG-4 video, all you need is Handbrake. Just drag the .VRO file to your desktop, change the extension from .VRO to .VOB, then open the .VOB file in Handbrake. It works fine. Can't figure why people here were having so much trouble -- unless VOB support has just recently been added to Handbrake. Fminer pro 9.03 (windows). (Or, maybe, it works because VLC Media Player is installed as well -- since it's known that having VLC installed in the same folder as Handbrake [Applications, normally] adds other capabilities to Handbrake, maybe that's where basic VOB support in Handbrake comes from.) So, maybe, you need Handbrake and VLC Media Player installed to convert VOBs, but you can do it in one step using just Handbrake.
Hello to anonymous who first posted this comment.
I have had the same problem, downloaded Toast, did what you said, and was able to view the chapters. Problem is I am not sure how to copy them. I want to start about half way through and copy about 20 frames. Do I use the markers? You did explain but I couldn't follow what you said. Can you please explain again in very simple terms.
Thanks so much. I am much relieved being able to view the DVD.
Also I want to make a still from one slide of the chapters. Is this possible?
