VOB to Mpeg or other friendly format
CheffoJeffo:
I am able to rename VOB files in XP ... I suspect that your shell settings may be what is preventing you from doing this successfully (you should get a warning if you try to change the extension).
VOB files are a subset of MPEG-2, so renaming usually works. Sometimes, though, depending on the software being used, you can end up losing aspect/ratio or audio.
Best bet is a good DVD ripper/encoder.
A good place to start is:

Pull down the Format Conversion menu and you are off to the races.
Cheers.

Doesn't Nero do this as well, with some plug-in or something?
