VOB to avi or mpg?

[Booshanky]

I've got a promotional DVD that the company I work for made a long time ago, and the boss just told me that he wants me to take some clips out of it, and I realized I have no idea how to convert video from VOB to some other format.

So does anyone know of a free program that will convert from VOB to another format and make sure that the quality is as good?

Just rename .vob to .mpg as it's a regular mpeg2 encoded file.

(yet another great general hardware question)

I mean, c'mon, is it rocket science for even a newb to get it that a question about software doesnt go in GH?

its not that easy.

rip the dvd to streams, m2v and ac3 (or dts, wav and so on)
convert the audio to whatever format u want to use in your clips (mp2, mp3, wma)
open m2v in virtualdub mod, add the converted audio stream to it
save as avi in whatever codec u want (divx, xvid, bla bla bla)

Even though this dosn't belong here...

The easiest way is going to be AutoGK.
