VIDEO_TS folder to single sized file possible?

[THX-UltraII]

Guys,

I use a program called XBMC as my video browser. Normally XBMC has it s own internal player for all kind of video files. However, I want to use an external player (MPC-HC) for playback my video content. So someone of the XBMC community made a custom XBMC version with external player support. However, it isn t compatible with regular dvd content (a VIDEO_TS folder with included vob, ifo etc files). His version only supports single file video content like .mkv's, .wmv's, .mpg's etc.

Is it possible, in a fast and user-friendly way, to convert a VIDEO_TS folder to some kind of single file video file? I don t want any kind of changes that influence the video or audio quality.

MPC-HC supports video_ts folder playback....but maybe not with xbmc external player.

You could use MakeMKV if you want one single mkv file, no video conversion but you will lose menus.

thxz Baldrick. I ve also found a program VOB2MPEG. Do you recommend this too?
And when converting the vob's to one .mkv (or .mpeg) will I keep the main DD /DTS track? And how do I keep Dutch subs if they are on the dvd?
