Hello, and welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure I understand, but if you're trying to get the movie out of the DVD, and don't care about the other stuff - menus, extras, previews, warnings, etc. - then set up DVD Decrypter in IFO Mode and not the default File Mode which will decrypt the entire DVD.

In addition, if it's a newer movie with newer copy protection, then you don't use DVD Decrypter but DVDFab HD Decrypter.

If you really do want to join together a bunch of different titles, then number their VOBs consecutively (but you're opening yourself to audio synch problems by doing that). If you're saying the movie consists of a bunch of different VOB files, either open the first in AutoGK and the rest get picked up automatically, or open the IFO instead (and especially if you want subtitles).

Try a Google for RipIt4Me. It's not developed anymore but I rarely find a DVD it can't handle. It uses DVD Decryptor and DVD Shrink to do the actual work, but RipIt4Me can automate the process and maybe make it easier.

If there is a "main movie" then in AutoGK just select the first vob in the set. It will pull the rest in for that title. If you have an "episodic" dvd like, 5 episodes of a TV show, then it's more problematic.

But I too find RipIt4Me still useful. It has a nice feature to clean up vobs. Some of the newer discs it may choke on but in those cases just copy to your HD using DVDFab Passkey. It's still coming out in beta versions and so is still free.
