Still having agreat lesson in frustration let alone the stress factor.
Have tried anumber of the suggestions below to no avail or unstisfactory
results. Right now I'm trying to encode to WMV files using WMENC and no
matter what option I choose in "Content Distribution", it always hangs
part way thru the second pass. Why two passes an how to circumvent this?

Regarding the suggestion to rename .vob files to .mpg: I have tried that
and found that importing an .mpg (renamed from .vob) directly into WMM
led to frequent processing problems. One example: the Duration time
would show a bogus value like 25 hours or 20 seconds, or gave some error
message. That is why I decided to take the time to convert the .vob to a
.wmv. This issue is discussed in detail at http://tinyurl.com/eajjh.
You may have better experience, but that was mine.

Two things -
1) Graham Hughes is right, you should always start with the original
source if possible since every conversion degrades the results further.
2) Don't convert your VOBs to anything. Simply rename them from .vob to
.mpg. VOBs are mpeg-2 files and will work fine in Movie Maker after you
change the extension. WMV is significantly lower in quality. Also, I
don't know why Microsoft labels "1Mbps Bit rate VBR" as DVD quality.
You need at least 6Mbps.

How can I import VOB files into MovieMaker?=====================================
Maybe the following articles will offer some ideas:

Before attempting any of U're suggestions, what I'm trying to do is
edit some 16mm WWII footage that was transferred to VHS tape and then
put on DVD by a friend. Then I'll try to copy the edited portions back
to DVD or CD.
If this info changes any of U're suggestions, pls advise if there's
anything to do instead.
Cheers-Herb.
I am currently doing something similar. I dubbed some family VHS tapes
to DVD, then copied the .vob files onto my hard drive. I am converting
the .vob files to .wmv using Windows Media Encoder. This makes
reasonably sized files that Windows Movie Maker can handle ok. Some of
my relevant WMC settings are:
Video: Encoding to DVD quality video (1Mbps Bit rate VBR) -- Windows
Media Video 9 Codec
Audio: Encoding to Voice qualithy audio (CBR) - Windows Audio Voice 9
I have also done the .vob conversion using VirtualDub for MPEG-2, but
that gives an .avi file which seemed to give me some trouble in WMM; it
seems WMM likes .wmv files best. You can also get good information at
