How to convert VOB files to a single AVI file
Solution 1
Thanks for the replies.
I used the free Format Factory which works very nicely.
Avidemux looks interesting and is also free whilst MS Expression Encoder is not free.

You can do this all via command line using cat
and FFmpeg.
Unclear what OS you are on, but if you are using a Unix-like system — such as macOS or Linux — you have more options at your disposal; most all of them 100% free!
As per this answer for a similar question on Ask Ubuntu, you can use cat
to concatenate the separate VOB files into one VOB file like this:
cat VTS_01_*.vob > output.vob
Then with that output.vob
you can run a command like this; a fairly common FFmpeg command that will copy video streams without transcoding:
ffmpeg -i output.vob -codec copy output.avi
If that somehow doesn’t suit your needs, or you want to convert the video and audio to another format, then just read up on how to use FFmpeg and set command like options and just always use ffmpeg -I output.vob
for your input.

I want to convert a DVD which has many VOB files into a single playable AVI file on my computer.
I can convert each individual VOB file to an AVI but is there some way to convert all of them into a single AVI file.
Any ideas?
