Editing directly with the vobs...?
It's much more comfortablt to edit with lossless avi's. They're usually faster to work with and of course you can have them deinterlaced and filtered if necessary. Keep in mind that if you're working directly with the dvd's files, they're likely going to be interlaced and in need of cleaning up, and running them through avisynth+virtualdub should fix that easily.

nope. dgindex-›avisynth->makeavis->vegas->mpeg-2->amv->h264

nope. dgindex-›avisynth->makeavis->vegas->mpeg-2->amv->h264

subclipping:
dgindex-›avisynth->avi clips->vegas->amv->h264
filemounting:
dgindex-›avisynth->mounted avis->vegas->amv->h264

I still feel you are doing unnecessary job

nope. dgindex-›avisynth->makeavis->vegas->mpeg-2->amv->h264

Wait, wtf? Why in the world would you recompress to MPEG-2 again and then to H.264? Ever heard of generation loss? As far as editing VOBs with directly, that will only be viable in very certain circumstances. The source would have to be very clean and progressively encoded on the DVD, which is very rare.

yes I have heard of it, it's because of quantization and qpels, also the matrix used. I wouldn't re-encode to mpeg-2 if vegas had a reliable timecode while framecasting. Framecasting on every computer I have resulted in both skipping and inaccurate timeline.

also crashing, generation loss is only significant on audio sources. I always do FLAC or other lossless when I rip CDs.
