VOB2MPG v3.0 & VOB2MPG v3.0 PRO are the latest versions of VOB2MPG.
Previous versions of VOB2MPG have allowed users to join up and process vobs found in dvds - resulting in mpeg files suitable for playing or authoring. VOB2MPG v3.0 (PRO) also does this but, in addition, allows users to choose, at a finer level, the DVD content to be extracted.
With control being the key, VOB2MPG Pro features include:
Download VOB2MPG v3.0 (5 MB) (requires .Net Framework 2.0 and XP SP2 or greater)
12 GBP (requires .Net Framework 2.0 and XP SP2 or greater)

Step by step guide to using VOB2MPG PRO for the first time. Its VERY easy:
Step One - Choose Extraction Mode and Folder locations:
First of all you need to decide which mode you wish to work in. Use the mode button to toggle between IFO and VOBSET MODE. Hover over the button to get a help popup explaining each mode: Next you need to choose your DVD source and output folder. DVDs can be a disc or a folder on your hard drive, encrypted DVDs are not supported but you can use on-the-fly decrypters is you wish.
Remember VobSet mode is the same as running v2.x of VOB2MPG
Step Two - DVD Structure: Once the DVD is loaded (apart from Vobset mode), you will see the structure of the DVD:
Previewing Titles, Chapters and Audio Double clicking on a Title will play the Title in the DVD Preview window.
Double clicking on a Chapter will play the Chapter in the DVD Preview window.
Whilst a DVD is playing a Title/Chapter, you can preview the audio streams by choosing a audio stream from the Title Audio Stream dropdown:
Choosing what to extract In the DVD structure area, anything checked with a tick will be extracted.
Note that you will get a mpeg file per Title. I.e. if you choose to extract Titles 1, 2 & 7 you will get three mpeg files accordingly
To extract a whole Title, check the Title. You can then choose to omit individual chapters by unchecking them: Right clicking a Title gives you the following menu: Right clicking on a chapter allows you to select/deselect all chapters in a given Title: Ideal for music DVDs and similar, you can also re-order the chapters by dragging and dropping: In doing so you get a extracted mpeg containing the chapters in the Title in the order 1, 3, 2 (from top to bottom):
If you have selected a audio stream other than the default the other audio streams are stripped from the resulting mpeg file. This will reduce the file size of the mpeg but does take an extra step of processing.
Step Three - Starting the extraction
Once you have decides what to extract you are ready to start. Click the Start button:
