Yeah, those are not problems I have with .vobs at all. (Re how you find clips without scrubbing, that's a workflow thing; with some vids, you have the database of clips in your *head* so the fastest way to find what you need is scrub to it, while with other vids, it's not quite so much looking for THAT moment, it's looking for some motion or image that fits a theme, for which go through all the files on fast forward and mark everything that looks likely. And then when I want to put stuff on timeline, I'm jumping to marks, not scrubbing.)

Um, lessee... when you rip vobs, do you fix timecode? Because one of the anti-piracy things on most dvds is broken timecode. I use MPEGStreamclip for that--one of the very few pre-processing things I do.

Other than that, I cannot guess. Some dvds are nastier than others to rip. I never did get a copy of the Stargate movie that let me poke at the middle fifty minutes or so.
