Some questions...

Is the file on a DVD right now?

Is it a mini-DVD or a 4.7GB DVD?

Have you tried using the DVD Camcorder Import feature? File->Import->DVD Camcorder Disc

Have you Googled ".vro programs"?

About the trade mark.

That's usually in demo software. That goes away when you buy it.

Another try...

Have you copied the file over to the computer and renamed the file so it looks like this: XXXXXXXX.mpg

This method usually works for most, but be sure to make a copy of the original file just in case the audio is lost from this name change because this is known to occur when messing with files names.

After changing the file extension to .mpg have you tried opening it using Sony Vegas?

Let me know how it goes...

Best of luck! :)

Sure...

by whizkid454 - 5/23/07 12:48 PM In reply to: vro files by drowl

Once you have copied the videos to the computer's hard drive, go to where you saved those files and make sure they have a file name such as: XXXXXXXXX.vro where the Xs is the name of the file. Once you find the file, right click it and select "Rename". Only delete the ending, .vro, and replace it with .mpg then "Enter". So the file name should look like: XXXXXXXXX.mpg

P.S. Make sure you do not change the file names directly from the disc! Copy to the computer first!

After renaming the file, open it using Sony Vegas and let me know how it goes.

Best of luck! :)

Help Me!!!

It can be open after changing the extension to xxxx.mpg but my problem is.... the file is too big and used up 1.4GB for a 20 minutes video. How do i compress the video become 200-500MB so that i can burn in into CD.

First thing...

Video does not look well on a CD and you will be very disappointed. Couldn't you just copy to a DVD and get better quality?

Sorry, but it's hard to understand what you're saying...

by whizkid454 - 5/28/07 7:21 AM In reply to: Sigh!!! by chw82

Are you saying the last time you tried to transfer to DVD, you could only hear the sound but couldn't see the video?

If so, your problems will be worse if you try to transfer to CD.

Try this:
1) Buy a DVD authoring program.
2) Buy a DVD+/-RW burner, if you don't have one already.
3) Buy a DVD and burn the video.

Hint: Have you tried Googling *How to Burn a DVD*?

converting VRO files from Panasonic camcorders

by mvl_groups_user - 12/27/08 12:18 AM In reply to: Some questions... by whizkid454

VRO files are most commonly created by Panasonic camcorders.

As others have said, they are somewhat similar to mpg files so if you rename the file to mpg some (not all) video programs can read them.

The proper way to convert these VRO files is to use the Panasonic movie editing software that came with the camcorder. There are different versions. In my version (Panasonic DVD-MovieAlbumSE) you load the disc into your computer, right click on a movie clip (or the whole day at the top of the screen), then click export. The software then creates standard mpgs that can be read by almost anything.
