Which VOB should I Use ?

[squeed]

When you are looking inside of a DVD VIDEO_TS folder there are more than 1 large VOB file. There are actually many VOB files that are the exact same size.

How do you know which one to use when running your extractor ?

Right now I guess and some are portions of the movie. Others have French or Spanish as the audio. Some are the directors version where they speak over the movie.

Is there a way to tell which one you should use when extracting ?

Actually the .vob files contain everything. The movie is on all of those vobs as is all the audio you hear and everything else. What are you trying to extract with? You should not have to worry about the .vob files too much if you are just wanting to extract audio and video.

I am using "0SEx 0.0101a5" to extract. But I have found that what I get from that extraction does not work with ffMpegX. So I switched to DVDBackup1.1. Using DVDBackup1.1 I am forced to select a VOB and I don't know which one to pick.

Am I doing something wrong with OSEx 0.0101a5 ?

Hi!

Don't use OSEx! I don't know why they say that this should be the "DVD Extractor" for OSx?!? The One for OS9 is much more effective! Cause it rips the Track content of the DVD into 1 File for Audio and 1 File for Video.

Try to use "extractor"! There you can import all the big VOB files into the batch list and by choosing "single file" you will have the same output as I mentioned above: 2 Files (ac3 audio + mpv Video).
By the way ... with DVD extractor for OS9 and OSEx for OSx I had the problem that the rip process stops by reachin the 2GB with an error.
Extractor doesn't!

OSEx works fine with ffmpegX. Simply select one video track and the audio track you want to use from the "Vid" and "Aud" pop-down menus. Set "Format" to PS (this will output a single .VOB file containing both the video and the audio) and "Seg" to "Title". Choose the title to extract from the "Ti" pop-down. Click "Begin". Then open the resulting VOB in ffmpegX and you will be able to encode both video and audio in a single step.
