All DVD's have VOB files and VOB files are MPEG transport files with
specific characteristics for the DVD playback standard. In most case you can
simply change the suffix from VOB to MPG and most mpeg editors will be quite
happy. A few caveats - commercial DVD's VOB files may contain as well as the
primary video and sound, subs and other info that might upset some mpeg
editors but so far I haven't found any. I prefer to demux anyway, stripping
out the video and audio into separate tracks before editing. I use either
ProjectX or MPEGstreamclip to do that. But VideoRedo or Womble will quite
happily import VOB files and output what you want.
