I seem to remember back in 1984 when i was a young whipper snapper hiring Lady Miranda from topcraft,would i be remembering right?

Lady Miranda (N171) Built in 1967 to a Broom design (Broom 37) according to Craig's list after 1993 it was no longer listed as being on the Broads.

There were two built. Jeanette and Michelle. Michelle went to the Thames on hire in about 1970/1 and Jeanette became Lady Miranda. Jimmy sold Miranda finally in 1991 and the last time we saw her was when the new owners collected her and motored up and out of Oulton Broad and off to, I suspect, her new home away from the Broads.

I kow Craig's site lists the pair the other way round so here's a piccy of Jeanette the day she arrived. You can clearly see Coral Jeanette on the cabin side and N171 on the hull.

I believe there is a shop in Loddon who converts to DVD. Carol of Broadland Memories may be able to help you.

I have a spare vhs player here if you want to borrow it? 

And yes Iain, there is a tin of Quality Street here unopened ready for just such an occasion. 

Ain't it funny. Other people's holiday pictures used to be so boring but mention its old footage of the Broads and we can't get enough of it!

Now up in my granny s loft is an 8mm shot afloat in 1973. Sadly, these days, she can't remember where the loft is! One day it will be liberated I promise

[Mondeoman]

I now have the film on dvd  and have managed to get onto an sd card but i am going to have to get help as i am not that technically minded to edit it and then get it on here.

[JanetAnne]

Brilliant, Excellent, Superb. Can't wait... 

[Mondeoman]

Try this

n (2).VOB

[Mondeoman]

Try this 1 

n (2).VOB

[JanetAnne]

tried on both the hudl and laptop....

 

[JanetAnne]

Quality Street at the ready...   

 

[Mondeoman]

I take it it didn't work as I can't view it.So annoying I just wish I was more technically minded or went to school now where computers r the norm.

[Mondeoman]

If it did work it is only a small part of the whole video.

[JanetAnne]

I know just how you feel. Anything technical around here gets passed to the grandson to do!

Ok, so seems you are dealing with a VOB file, chances are they have been copied/extracted from a DVD. VOB stands for DVD Video Object and is the core file of a DVD containing the actual movie data, an MPEG movie stream and the supported audio.

To play the VOB files, you need to have a DVD player that supports VOB format. However, if you have the Windows Media Player (version 12 or higher) or VLC Media Player, it is good enough to play the file. Note that you will see a prompt telling you that it is an unsupported format, don’t worry about it and just play it anyways. It will play just fine.

If you want to obtain the VOB file from a DVD for some reason, just open the DVD in Windows Explorer instead of playing it through a media player.

The VOB file would most likely be under the VIDEO_TS folder. Some other files that you will also see in the folder are IFO and BUP. The IFO files are the information files containing meta data about the DVD and instructions for the DVD player on how to handle the disc. The BUP file is simply a backup copy of IFO files.

If you want to convert VOB file to AVI or a similar format, aviNET is a great tool to do that.
