Ripping/Coverting Woes

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I have Vista (64-bit) and use Windows Movie Maker. I also have the klite codec pack installed. I used DVD Decrypter to rip a DVD. I can import the VOB files into WMM, but for some reason the last bit of the movie is registering as 24 hours long so I can't put it in my timline. This is after I used the "create clips" function. I tried ripping the DVD again tonight and the last VOB file is 24 hours long. Does anyone know what is going on with that?

On my previous two vids, I used DVD Decrypter followed by AutoGordian Knot to convert the VOBS into .avis. I did not do that this time because I no longer have the version of DivX that I used to have and it won't open without it. I tried downloading DivX again, but it didn't work. Some cursory online research revealed that AGK won't work with newer versions of DivX. Would converting to .avi in any way help with the 24 hour clip? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for VOB to .avi conversion freeware if it's something I need?

I am hopeless when it comes to technology. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I looked through old entries, but I couldn't find anything that sounded exactly like my problems. There were some entries on converting, but they were all really old so I don't know if they are up to date. I had all but the final scene of this vid done when I discovered the problem. I'd really like to be able to finish it soon.
