[GRLUG] Ben's video editing pdf & a question

[John-Thomas Richards]

Ben recently made available a pdf of a talk he did on video editing in
Linux (thanks, Ben; very useful!).  Ripping a DVD to a computer is
trivial.  I have ten seasons of Stargate: SG1 and five of Stargate
Atlantis that I'd like to convert.  Doing this episode by episode is not
very appealing.

I thought perhaps I could just copy the VOBs, cat them together (since
an episode may span two VOBs), convert the large VOB to the appropriate
format, and then just cut the large video file into the appropriate
chunks (the episodes are very, very close in length).  Am I headed the
right direction or is there a better way?  (And by "better" I mean
"easier".)
