Several VOB files on DVD -> into single VOB file

[Dstruct]

Found some links via Google where people said you can rip an unencrypted DVD (wihh several VOB files) to a single VOB file with ImgBurn? Is that true? I mean I just can select to write ISO, BIN and IMG in "Read" mode!?

You can't output anything except a disc image (of variation of it in the case of an Audio CD to a WAV file) with ImgBurn so no, it won't create a single VOB file. It'll create an image of the discs in BIN/IMG/ISO etc format.

ok, thanks. just wanted to be sure.

There are transcoding apps which output files into unsplit VOBs. Or even easier is to use the DOS copy /b command to combine the VOBs. For example copy /b file1+file2+file3 file4

 

Note - this is against the DVD spec, so I presume you are doing it for re-encoding to another format.

yeah, i usually do this all with virtualdub and the fcchandler mpeg-2 plugin. no problem with these.

Yeah, that is a good combination.

 

One thing that you might consider to combine VOBs programatically is PgcDemux. Don't worry about the demuxing, but tick the box where it says create a PGC VOB - it will output one huge VOB of the selected PGC (presumably the title you are interested in).
