    Does anyone know how to convert VOB files to AVI's or Mpeg (using free software preferably)? Or is this something that can be done but isn't fully legal?

    make sure you have all the latest codecs instaled and prepare for a long night ive a athlon 64 3700 and it can take 3 hours to encode a dvd

    If you just want to have an .mpg file you may not necessarily need to do any conversion, you could rename the .vob file to have an .mpg file name extension- might work for you ? Then you can just import the .mpg file into any editing package & work away etc...

    or u could make an iso out of the Dvd then use isobuster

    right click "extract frames but only using Mp2 Frames"that will leave you wit a kdfdkjdkf.dat file ...rename to mpg and there u go

    no 3 hour long waiting
    however the mpg is the same size as the vob where as auto gardion knot shrinks the file
