I think you are looking for something like: mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/dvd -ovc copy -oac copy -aid 128 -o myfile.mpg -ovc and -oac are video and audio tracks. You tell it to copy it instead of transcoding it. -aid chooses the specific audio track that you want. Hope it helps (works). / Jimmy On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 11:39 PM, James Board <jpboard2 at yahoo.com> wrote: > Yes, a VOB is an MPEG file.
