VOB file is basically an MPG format.

Most programs that would ‘cut’ an MPG file should work on a VOB. [If it won’t recognize the VOB, just rename the extention VOB to MPG.

There are numerous freeware programs that could work to cut the desired section. Look for “mpg splitter”

Hi, thanks.

I found some documentation. I set the A and B markers, then simply did a file/save. However, Avidemux didn’t tell me what kind of file is saved. When I looked in Windows Explorer, all I saw was a filename, with no recognized filetype. I tried renaming the file as a .VOB, but my DVD player doesn’t recognize it and can’t play it. I then tried renaming it as .MPG, but then Windows Media Player doesn’t recognize it. However, Avidemux does recognize and can play the file, even though it has no filetype. What do I need to do to this file so that my DVD software or WMP can play it as well?

Thanks for any help.
