It's possible that mencoder would be able to convert your VOB files over
to an acceptable format. Mencoder is part of the Mplayer toolbox. That
would be the first thing I would try. But the first thing you need to
do is make sure your VOB files are not encrypted. I haven't gone thru
this entire thread so I don't know the exact source of your VOB's, but
if they are coming from a store or have been purchased they are probably
encrypted and need to be decrypted before editing or conversion. FC5
has sources available for decryption of this type.
Assuming that they aren't encrypted, I'd start with mencoder to begin
conversion to other video formats.
One thing not mentioned in this thread is the nature of .vob files.
Essentially, they are mpg2 files with additional meta-data. Some editing
programs such as Sony's Vegas (from MS land), can deal with them directly on
the timeline. You might just try using some of the editors available in Linux
to see if that holds true as well...it's a stretch, but easy to try. This is
only a suggestion, and maybe someone else has already tried this - I haven't,
so I have no direct knowledge, except that I've done this in Vegas.
