As I said, it is not always as simple as it sounds :)

I have yet to strike these issues.
But, thanks for the enlightenment.

I have a vague memory of trying to convert DVD VOBs to mpegs, but the result was chapters out of order with no practical way to rearrange them.

Remuxed : I had to look that word up. First thought it was a typo (remixed). Here is the definition for those who don't know:

It means Re-multiplex. i.e De-multimplexing (demuxing) and then multiplexing (muxing). Demuxing means splitting the audio and video out of a container. Muxing means joining audio with video (and subs etc) into a container. A container is something for example avi or mkv.

880805 2010-04-30 20:57:00 I just rename the big .VOB files
Then import them into Windows Movie Maker.
It has worked every time for me.
(Doesn't mean it always will though!)
