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. The other thing is that when you use K3b to burn a DVD, one of the things that makes a DVD an actual DVD is the use of UDF file structures. Without them, alot of DVD burners (especially older or cheap ones) will not be able to read your DVD. Make sure that you have all three filesystems checked in the "filesystems" tab of the burn window whenever you go to burn your stuff to DVD.
