I've been following a "how-to" online about it.  This is a new field for 
me, so I'm going with what I've found.  I think part of the problem was 
that the VOB files used CSS.  I don't have the DVDs any more.  Is there 
a way I can do the same thing with the VOB files on my hard drive?  How 
would I do it?

I think I tried something like this and had problems with it finding my 
DVD.

And will this take care of the problem of sounds on the DVD being too 
loud when converted to .wav files?

Do you mean just the conversions of changing the .wav file to what it 
needs to burn it as an audio CD?
