DVD ripping help

[Gen]

So I'm trying to back up my DVD collection, but after using MacTheRipper on my first DVD it just gives me a bunch of .VOB files. It gives me a VIDEO_TS folder and inside are like 8 VOB files and a few BUP and IFO files.

How can I just make it one avi or mp4 file?

Handbrake will help.

Oh wow, thanks. I had no idea Handbrake could just read the VIDEO_TS folder and produce a single m4v file out of it.

Just be sure to preview a clippit of your video first to see if it require the decomb to be enabled. It sucked much butt when I ripped like 20 tv shows in a row only to find out they had combing streaks like hell.
