You don´t even NEED a program. Me, I usually scan the DVD on my DVD-Rom, locate the trailer´s .VOB file, and copy it to my HD. It doesn´t always work.

Yeah but how to do you extract the trailer from the vob file?

In some cases, the VOB file IS the trailer. I just watch it with any media player, like Power DVD.

Do a google search for smartripper. You can copy and decode VOB files in a few different modes. You can copy trailers or scenes from just the chapter stop information. It's pretty easy to use. Some DVD's that don't have CSS encyrption can be copied by the "drag and drop" method but more than one trailer etc can be in that VOB. Smartripper can cut out the individual trailer but you have to know what it's root title is and the timecode(just watch the dvd in a player and note the title number and track or timecode). Anchor Bay is really good about not encrypting their titles. Pretty much all major studios encrypt though.

you can use dvdshrink that way when you click on the file, you can preview it in the little viewing screen first so you know what file you're looking at.

Good suggestion!! Smartripper is the best program to use, because you can tell which program is which on the dvd. The trailers should be real easy to find! Then you could use a program like TMPGenc Author, that accepts .vob files, and make a new dvd with them.

I tried smartripper and I didn't think it was that great. I couldn't find the trailer within the vob files. I just want to rip the trailers to mpeg, how would I do that?
