DVDRebuilder took the VOBs from when I ripped the DVD and basically made a new DVD. It exported it as VOBs, but shrunk to fit on a single layer DVD and with the 4:3 letterboxed converted to 16:9 widescreen. Would it be better to not work with VOB files? I've tried MPEGStreamClip and Handbrake on my Mac but didn't really know what settings to use. Ended taking a 4GB source and turning it into a 27GB mpeg. O_o

I'm willing to take a small quality hit, but when I looked at that stuff in iMovie...it was like a really bad YouTube clip. Again, might've been a vob thing since I haven't heard of a large quality drop with other formats.
