Convert PSH to VOB

Understanding PSH and VOB file formats

PSH files are project files created by ProShow, a slideshow creation software developed by Photodex. These files store information about slideshows, including image references, transitions, effects, and timing, but do not contain actual video or audio data.

VOB (Video Object) files are a core component of DVD-Video discs. They contain multiplexed video, audio, subtitle, and menu contents in a format compatible with DVD players. VOB files are based on the MPEG-2 program stream format.

How to convert PSH to VOB

Direct conversion from PSH to VOB is not possible because PSH is a project file, not a media file. To create a VOB file from a PSH project, you must first export your slideshow as a video file (such as MPEG or AVI) using ProShow, then convert that video to VOB format suitable for DVD playback.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open your PSH file in ProShow Gold or ProShow Producer.
2. Export your slideshow as a video file:
   • Go to File → Publish → Video for DVD or File → Export → Video.
   • Select a common video format such as MPEG-2 or AVI.
   • Complete the export process and save the video file to your computer.
3. Convert the exported video to VOB format using DVD authoring software:
   • Use a program like DVD Flick, Freemake Video Converter, or ConvertXtoDVD.
   • Import your video file into the software.
   • Follow the prompts to create a DVD project and export or burn as a VOB file.
