Newbie - How do I join multiple VOB files into one?

[caiman]

I'm new at this, so this should be an easy question. I have recently ripped a DVD onto my hard drive, and the movie itself is on 4 seperate VOB files. What I want is to join these 4 files into one long VOB file. I have VOBEdit, but I dont know how to use it. Could somene walk me thru the steps? Thanks.

why would you want to make 1 big VOB ? (just to save you some unnessessary work)

[caiman]

Because I want to convert it to an AVI (which i will do after i have one big file) and put it on Kazaa. And I dont want it to be in multiple files.

[BJ_M]

well first if it is a commercial dvd that is not legal (last guy who tried that with the "HULK" is going to be behind bars for a while) ...

and against forum rules for even suggesting it ..

and second -- to convert from dvd to (DiVX ,XVID, DV , whatever) you dont have to combine the VOB's ...

see guides on the left ..

[caiman]

Yeah, I'm sure that I'm now the SECOND person to do something like this...But still, I apologize for breaking the forum rules.

And I think I'm getting it figured out anyway.

Thanks.

If your goal is to backup a DVD to DivX and you're a newbie (no insult btw) you might want to look at a package like gordian knot at:

there are LOTS of guides for this package and it has it's own disucssion fourm.

There's a reason they're a set size...Would have thought some of you woulda known why...
