Does that recompress or transcode the video? You definitely don't want that to happen to the already lossy compressed DVD video! All you need to do is demultiplex (demux) the .M2V MPEG2 video stream and the .PCM or .AC3 audio streams from the .VOB files. Look for a program called SmartRipper. Many DVDs don't 'package' the video programs into groups in the VOBs, so just directly demuxing gets you video that jumps around or has all the programs or tracks strung together. Probably not an issue if you're wanting to do edits to a DVD you authored. SmartRipper uses the .IFO files to find the parts of the specific program you want, then it pulls them all out and strings them together in correct order into a new VOB set on your hard drive. Then you can demux the streams. Some VOB apps will do a demux/mux operation so you end up with an .MPG file that has both video and audio streams together. That's useful for editing apps that can't handle MPEG2 video without an embedded audio stream. Finding a VOB demuxer is as easy as searching for VOB demux with any search engine. Many video apps (like ones from Tsunami) will automatically select the .PCM or .AC3 file with the same name as the .M2V file when it's opened. Finally, videohelp.com is a very good site for resources and information for all this stuff. ;) For Adobe Premiere help, this list seems to be pretty decent... ;) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
