To cut VOB files using vobSplitter, you need to use its straightforward size-based or cell-based splitting mechanism, which allows you to cut large DVD files without re-encoding them. Because vobSplitter is a lightweight, legacy tool designed specifically for DVD structures, it does not use a visual timeline like modern editors but instead processes files based on specific parameters. How to Use vobSplitter

Load the VOB File: Open vobSplitter and click the Open button to browse and select the VOB file from your computer or your ripped DVD VIDEO_TS folder.

Set the Destination: Click the Save As or output directory button to choose where the newly cut VOB segments will be saved. Choose the Cut Method:

By Size: Specify the maximum size (e.g., 500MB or 1024MB) for each cut segment.

By Chapters/Cells: If your VOB file contains original DVD chapter markers, you can select specific cells to extract.

Execute the Cut: Click the Split button to begin processing. The tool will quickly extract the segments with zero quality loss because it copies the original MPEG-2 stream directly. Alternative Free Modern Tools

If vobSplitter struggles with your file size or lacks the exact visual timestamps you need, several modern, free alternatives offer superior control:

Mpg2Cut2: A classic, lightweight, open-source tool that lets you open a VOB file, mark the exact “From” and “To” timestamps visually, and save the clip instantly with no re-encoding.

VLC Media Player: If your ultimate goal is to watch the file on modern devices, you can open VLC, navigate to Media > Convert / Save, and convert the VOB file directly into a universally compatible MP4 format.

HandBrake: A premier open-source transcoder that allows you to queue multiple VOB files, select exact specific chapters or seconds to cut, and export them as high-quality MP4 or MKV files.
