There are several programs you will need. First off get the Intervideo WinDVD player 6. You can just get the trial version as the only thing you need from it is the decoder. Just install it and you should be good to go. It will stay installed and it only asks you to register it if you go into the program. Now get the DECCHECK program from Microsoft. This nifty utility allows you to control which mpg2 decoder is used by Microsoft to decode the .vob files. It will allow you to set a default decoder of your choice. This is essential because some decoders just don’t work with Windows Media Encoder. I have a fealing that this is the cause of most of the problems. You can download it here.

Just install the program and then run it. Select the Intervideo Decoder version 6 as the preferred decoder.
Now rip one of the vob files to your hard drive with smartripper or any program of your choice. Now we can start encoding. That wasn’t so hard was it? Make sure you have Windows Media player 10 and Windows Media player 9 encoder installed. Then open WME9 and close the first dialog box. Just Select File/Open and then the appropriate profile for your particular video from the attached zip file. Next go to the input tab and select the vob file as the input. Note: You will have to click on the “Files of Type” drop down and select the show all option. Then just go to the output tab and select a file name and location where you want the output to go. Then just hit Start encoding button and come back when it is done. You should have a nice wmv file of your video.
I don’t have time to go into more detail but I will come back and edit this post after I have had a chance to test my Axim.
