Hi,
This may be of interest to some:

DVD VOB files can be converted to MPEG 1 by dropping them directly into MainConcept encoder using the followiong method.

1. Load the video file.

2. Then disable MPEG import module among the import modules.

3. Then load the same file as audio.

4. Then encode with a new name as usual in VCD.

Also if VOB files are renamed as avi they will then drop into either Main Actor or Eve for editing. Although I have not yet tried then to encode them to MPEG 1 I am sure that this should work.

I assume that copyright protected files will not work this way.
