    Joining VOB files

    Is there any software (preferably open source if there's a choice) which will allow me to join several .VOB files from a DVD into one? And before anyone asks no I'm not taking them from copyrighted DVDs or anything like that. I understand I could use something like Handbrake to rip to another format but I wanted to give AVIVO a try for the transcoding since it works well with VOBs and it's pretty quick too!

    you can use mpeg2vcr. Its not open source but its only 20 US dollars. there is a free trial on the developers website.

    I've used it for years without a hitch.

    From the website it doesn't look like that can do what I want and I don't want to spend anything as there is plenty of software that can do what I want for free just I wanted to give AVIVO a try after joining the VOBs together. Thanks anyway though.

    Re: Joining VOB files

    aren't they transport stream? i.e. won't "cat *.VOB > newfile.vob" work?

    @directhex: Yeah it should, thanks.

    @Singh400: Yeah that should do the job, I'll give it a go if I have no luck with cat. Thanks.
