The real problem is that I wanted to convert the VOB-files to format which my Windows-program Pinacle Studio could read or find Linux-programs which I could install with my newbie skills to Fedora Core 5 able to edit my movies and to make a video CD or DVD which I could send to my sister even having an old DVD-player box and on old TV.
You may want to take a look at dvdrip.
It will convert DVD's to other formats. It is a GUI front end to programs like transcode. You could also use transcode to do the work if you are comfortable with the CLI. In ether case, you can work with a "real" DVD, or a DVD image on disk. You can also work with the files from the DVD. I am not sure if they are in extras, or if you will need to get them from Livda.
