But how do you know which one is "the" movie VOB? Couldn't multiple
VOBs make up the movie? I found the following link:

Which states that each VOB can only be up to 1 GB in size. *And*,
a VOB itself contains several streams multiplexed together. So, my
question was along the lines of: how do I determine which VOBs make
up the movie. Once I have isolated those VOBs, how do I strip out
the extra streams that I don't want (such as foreign languages,
different camera angles, etc)?
movie and that's it. Sounds like you have complete DVD rips,
which indeed you did mention originally. Perhaps you would be
Yup, that is what I have, but I assumed that I would be deleting
and/or modifying parts of that, i.e. "transforming" the complete rip
into one file that contains nothing but the movie itself.
better ripping as ISO files and loopback mounting them for
xine/mplayer and treating them as complete discs rather than a
collection of files. Adding the .ISO to MythVideo and setting up
the appropriate play script would work then.
And I would do that, if space wasn't an issue. The whole point of
stripping the DVD of extra features is to save on disk space.
I figured what I'm doing is fairly common---do most people just copy
the DVD as an ISO image and store those?
I use a Windows program, cladDVD to rip it. It automagically figures
out the VOB file to use/make for me.
