Merging Files

[MasterSandman II]

What program files can I use to join multiple .vob files into one?

Thanks.

are the VOBs on the HD already? or into a DVD?

If they are into a DVD, you can use DVD Decrypter, if not...mmmmm, I was thinking about Tmpgenc DVD author but the outgoing files are mpg or a VIDEO_TS folder, so, it will not work probably.

They are on the hard-drive but I have a copy on a DVD somewhere. I guess I need to get a little more familiar with DVD Decrypter

so if you can burn a DVD, then u can rip it without make DVD Decrypter split the files.

I would highly recommend to use the TMPG Enc software. You can split or merge files with it and it is very easy to use. I dont see why to use the DVD Decrypter - as the name says, its main function is to decrypt.

I did it once using DVD-shrink. I had this DVD image on my HD one day, and naturally the DVD files were split into 1024mb chunks, but I could open the DVD image files in DVD-shrink, and in the DVD-Shrink preferences I deselected the option that said "cut video files in 1024mb chunks", so after that I ended up with the exact same DVD image, except it was one big VOB video file that I only needed to rename to *.mpg or *.mpeg to be able to open it in video-editors and what not.

Eiter way, I guess there r various relatively easy ways to do it, DVD-shrink being one, and I guess DVD-decrypter can do the job equally as good too.

I didn't know you can merge VOBs with Tmpgenc DVD Author..

I don't think he meant TMPG DVD Author, he was refering to TMPG Enc. and this works perfectly. As said before, if you have a DVD, use Decrypter, but if you already have them on HD, TMPG is much easier... If you don't have it or simply don't want to use it, try VobMerge
