Anyone know of a free video converter to take .vob files and convert to Quicktime (.mov)? I have tried several so called 'free' ones on the net but they all seem to convert only the first few minutes, converting the whole 20 or so mins requires a paid version...
For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.

    Hi, I keep on posting that AVS4U has a full suite of progs that once purchased are updated for life. Terrific functionality for audio, video pic etc.
    HOWEVER parts of the suite are available for free download -I don't know if those versions have limitations but worth a try.

    The video convert bit seems to cover a very wide range of formats and is very good quality.

    I have purchased the full suite a few years ago and struggle to find fault with it!

    Ffmpeg seems able to convert (almost) any audio/video file. It's totally free, so no features are disabled.

    There are a lot of parameters you can specify if you need to change anything about the file conversion... but the documentation is long!

    Not free for anything other than small files.

    This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

    You can actually rename a .vob to .mpg and most decent players like VLC will respect it. This is because a VOB file is actually an MPEG2 stream.
