Re: Importing video from DVD

Thank you for the reply and the website recommended.
I searched through the How to category:How to convert to
AVI/DivX/XviD/WMV/MKV/OGM/MP4 but found no guides for .VOB

I then looked in Format Conversion: found "VOB to AVI " but nothing came up.
Am I looking for the right conversion guide that I need to be able to import
the dvds I have?
