                   ^^^^^^^^^^

may be you missunderstand my question because of my poor english. I don't want
to copy or clone a dvd. I haven't got mpg files to convert to VOB.

I want to make a DVD-video using VOBs files from three or four DVDs. I have
the VOBs files, but I think copying also IFO files is not a good choice,
because they have info about sequences, chapters, etc that I'm altering; I'm
altering the names too. So I'm looking for a tool to make those IFO files from
VOBs. I would like to use dvdauthor, but I don't know how.
