ok sorry to be a pain again..ive tried to to do some encoding...but so far i
havent got anyway...so was wondering if someone can help me out.

ok heres the scenario.

I ripped the dvd and now its saved in a folder (A) on sdb5 as a vob file.
There are several of these vob files totalling 4gb (lets just say). Now this
is a foriegn film so there are subtitles. I played the file. No seperate
subtitles file i could see but they are there..and they do work !!! :)

Ok now what i want is

join the files .... ( i can do that..a recently acquired skill, using comand
line)
and encode to say avi. desired file size is 1gb.

so ill start off the command line ...

mencoder osama001.vob.....

please help me finish this ......... :)

thanks in ...anticipation!!
