Help with converting

[brute]

a bit mixed up

Dan,

Copy is a dos command.

Start → Run → Copy/?

Read what it says and do it.

For example: Copy VTS_01_1.VOB + VTS_01_2.VOB + (etc) DAN.MPG (Note the space before DAN.MPG)

Regards

Blu,
I've tried a few things after referring to numerous forums..still have questions...
Have a double sided disc and have ripped (using DVD decrypter) both sides into a single folder and have 2 VOB and 2 IFOs....
The Objective is to convert them into ONE AVI file that I can view on a portable device...
Tried merging them with VOBMerge...it works but the output is not tooo great...

• Questions are...Is it better to merge the 2 avi files into one than merging Vobs
• Would like to use your method but (naive question maybe) I seem to start,run and then cant get the copy prompt to get working....im on XP pro...what am i doing wrong??
• I read on another post somewhere that renaming the second vob to sequentially progress the first i.e my first VOB is vts_1_01.vob and the second is vts_2_01.vob...by simply renaming the second as vts_1_02.vob and using the IFO from the first would make it work...IYO will this work???

Thank you for any light that you can shed

Nothing - it was I who was wrong:

Start → Run → Cmd → Copy

Your method also needs the VOBIDs not to be the same (this can happen if you have 2 separate titles, with VIDs each starting at 1).

So use the method outlined here to make sure the VOBIDs do not conflict. Then join the VOBs into one.

If the output is not good, that would be a function of the input quality I would think.

Hello

You could just load the VOBs in the right order into MPEGMediator
