I have some DVD's burned using a Pioneer 520HS (of some science programs
from TV - all legit under ERA licence) and I want to convert them to MPEG2
format to load on to our media server at school. I tried DVD ripper but it
seems to want to take 4x the length of each program. I tried renaming the
..vob files to .mpg and lo and behold windows media player (9) will now play
them. Is it really this simple? or am I being daft here?

No you're not. Sometimes you get lucky and it works.
If the audio was AC-3, then it's a different story :-(

Hi,
Mpeg Video Wizard (Womble) will make a Mpeg2 of it properly.
