TRANSFORMING VOB INTO AVI with AUTO GK

I have not used this software for very long, but am highly impressed with what it can do, and it's pretty easy to learn, so you should have no problems with it.

+ Open the software

+ Select your input file (it will be named something 1 VOB)

+ Name your output file

+ Under "select output size," choose 700 MB (the size that will fit on most DVD-R disks; you can also play around with this, and use 350 for one-hour episodes)

+ Hit "Add Job"

+ Hit "Start"

This program will open up sub-programs. That is all right. Leave it alone until it is finished (it will encode the movie file at least twice -- this is a long process, so it is recommended that you save avi transfer for a time when you will not be needing your computer for a couple of hours)

When finished, it's time to edit the movie!
