Not bad.  Thanks for the guide, roe-ur-boat.

I'd probably suggest DVDDecrypter and/or DVD Fab Decrypter + FreeDVD instead of that ripping program - these are generally considered to be "the" DVD ripping tools.
Also, DVDDecrypter can automatically join the VOBs (not sure about DVD Fab Decrypter).

To rip using DVDDecrypter:

1. Mode menu » IFO
   
2. DVDDecrypter should automatically select your main PGC (program group chain) - you may wish to double check it in the right pane (the main PGC is where the main movie/video is stored in; thus, to check, make sure the PGC with the longest length is selected)
   
3. If your DVD has multiple angles (hardly any do) select the video angle you want to keep in the right pane
   
4. Tools menu » Options » IFO Mode and change the File Splitting listbox to "None", then click OK
   
5. Select where you want to save the files, then start ripping by pressing the big DVD»HDD button
   

I've never tried DVDDecrypter's Stream Processing feature, so IDK if it can be used to rip out unwanted audio tracks.

Hope that helps.
