I am susing xilisoft converter to convert my DVD movie files into one AVI file.
The problem I seem to have is that after using DVD shrink, I get the video_TS files containing many VOB files plus the IFO, BUP etc.
Xilisoft brings up the all the VOB file to convert to AVI, but it only does them as individual AVI's (like mini clips of the entire movie).
I want one AVI file only....does Xilisfot do this? Perhaps I have missed a step in the convertion.
I have used AutoGK in the past to convert (which usually does it as one AVI) but takes ages to do 2 passes. Xilisoft seemed easier so wanted to try it, but can't see a way around this problem.
I'm wondering if there is some other software I need to merge the VOB's first (or the AVI's after)? I read somewhere that DVD shrink can do it but I can't work out how? I didn't want to have to run yet another program.....it's getting tediouse and very time consuming now!
Can any one help me further?

VOBMerge.

Select the relevant VOB files, put them in the correct order and merge them.

Grab the vobs.. then use avidemux ("open" first file.. then use "append" to add all the others) which will merge and convert all in one go..... You can even use dos to join files if you know how the copy command works. 
copy file1.xxx + file2.xxx + file3.xxx output.xxx

You will still need to run the resulting file through avidemux to fix the index, so why bother with that step at all??

jeeez.. why do windows people have to make all this stuff seem so goddam hard?? vobmerge ffs?.. dos will do all that does.

In Shrink: Preferences -> Output Files -> Split VOB files... (uncheck it).

Just use a command prompt.
copy /b VTS_01_1.VOB+VTS_01_2.VOB+VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_ALL.VOB
