Using "mencoder" to create "flv" from "VOB" DVD video format files

Many website nowdays are using '''swf''' and '''flv''' file formats to play videos hosted on there site or sites, it's advantage is clear in that the file itself is often in comparison to regular video format files smaller and easier ti upload so the the site is able to hold and run more video content with much less bandwidth than would normally be required.

I found a good video tutorial

I found a good video tutorial on the software on search of files [1 edited] to clear everything out and to make the right decision before buying it. I'd like to begin with pros. Well, it seems to be fast and efficient, simple to use, it converts to Quicktime (mov). But this free version only converts the first 3 minutes. No frills: like trimming, editing, improving images. To sum it up, it is OK converter. There are many with more features and even some totally free with better features (like Any Video Converter).
