I am new to linux. I am using Fedora 10. Recently i bought an iPod. I can't get to load my DVDs on my iPod because there are mutiple .vob files and .vob is not supported format of iPod. So please let me know if there is vob merge and convert software out there for fedora 10.
P.S.: It would be better if the software is free.
Regards,
Ankit.

Hi Ankit ,
There are several ways to do it. Handbrake or Avidemux would be your best bet. Here are a couple of links you can use to get started. They might be for other distributions but should work well for fedora.
Handbrake :

Hello all,
I got ultimate ubuntu 32 and 64 bit downloaded and iso images (2 gb )
are available.
For those who don't know, ultimate ubuntu is an all inclusive distro
built up on ubuntu, with the addition of many softwares and multimedia
libraries.
Actually it is the usual ubuntu which has be remastered to add all the
codecs for audio vidio and many softwares like inkscape and thunderbird
get installed by default. I also found a lot of admin tools in the
system by default.
softwares like gpartit and other interesting tools are also there by
default. 3D desktop is also enabled by default which can obviously be
switched on and off at will.
the only down side of this remastered ubuntu 9.04 version is that it
takes about 45 minits to install on an average.
If any one would be interested I would be most happy to provide dvd for
either 32 or 64 bit.
Even better I will try to download this on a server where I have about
250 gb for foss related activities.
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.

Hi,
I cud get orca to start up and have configured it. But it is not able to
read any page which is open in the evince document reader. The key binding
for "reading entire document" is KP_add. I wonder what that means. Can
anybody help?. Orca is only able to read menus or echo typed characters,
words etc and that too is hardly heard (voice is cut).
Orca reads every thing for me.
I use ubuntu 9.04 and all works well.
I for example not just get to read the full text of an openoffice
wordprocessor, but also get to know the font attributes like bold
italics and size, etc.
spreadsheets also work abslutely fine.
I use pdf2text or pdf2html depending on whether formatting information
is of any interest to me.
Right now evince is not accessible because the evince guys are not
really into lot of accessibility, although they are showing some active
interest into it off late.
Else all works absolutely fine.
Was any work on accessibility of Evince done during the recent Mozilla
Firefox 3.5 Release Party/CAMPStudio pad.ma overview,according to the
plan set forth by KK during the MumPy meet at CAMPStudio?No minutes
are available on the wiki.

Another drawback of Ubuntu Ultimate (at least I noticed) is it's a bit
unstable. It crashes too often.
If they have made some improvements in current release, then it's kool. :)
i am using ubuntu ultimate edition 2.2 (32-bit).
& i not yet found any crash.
also it is loaded with lots of new themes which are more attractive,
new features like partition editor, firewall configuration, backup
facility, & many packages.
must say it is ultimate.
