IMGBurn does not rip.....
Try Vobedit to join vob's and create one VOB ,then IFOedit to create your ifo's ...if that's what you were looking to do..... otherwise more detailed info is needed from you....

DVD Decrypter will do what you want.

Maybe just me, but I'm wondering why you would want just one big VOB file? You can use VOB2MPG to make one big MPEG file out of a decrypted DVD easily enough. That would give you a format that is more commonly used for editing. Since a VOB is a MPEG (Among other things), even for archiving it would seem a better choice.

If you try to run that one large VOB through a authoring program, it will just get cut up in to standard 1GB VOBs anyway.

And welcome to our forums.

Actually IMGburn does rip. It just doesn't rip protected DVDs.

There are lots of reason's to, i do it at least a few times a week, also to demux into elementary streams, M2V, AC3, chapters file, ect. ect.

Why rip then merge back together when you can do it in one step from the start
Can't get much easier than that 8)

Looks like practically no one gave you any info that you can use. Yes, Imgburn can read an UNPROTECTED dvd into 1 big VOB file. From the tools menu, select settings and click on the READ tab. Inthe READ tab you will see a drop down menu next to file splitting. Select "None". This will allow you to decrypt your UNPROTECTED dvd into 1 big VOB file.

Then I guess the other posters who recommended DVDD and Smartripper were wrong to assume what the OP meant... except you of course....

Or if the files are already on your hard drive, you can use DVD Shrink to produce one VOB.

And how do you get ImgBurn to output anything other than an ISO
