Question: Does anyone know of a good freeware application where I can convert a full VOB file into a MPEG file. All of the applications I have found are trial versions and will only convert a part of the video.

I just need to convert one VOB, do not plan on using it long term.

Answer: 
[VirtualDub](http://www.virtualdub.org/) used to be the de facto standard for converting video files. It still does an admirable job.
Try [VOB2MPG](http://www.svcd2dvd.com/VOB2MPG/default.aspx). There is also a Pro version with additional features, but for simply converting (or rather, remultiplexing) VOBs to MPG files, the free edition is enough.
