Sony DVD writer

["keyvan2r <keyvan@xxxxxxx>" <keyvan@xxxxxxx>]

Hi
This may be a bit OT but I seem to remember some sound advice on the 
whole DVD writer issue here, not so long ago. I just bought the Sony 
DRX500-UL multi standard external dvd recorder with both firewire 
and USB 2 connection. Had a hard time finding one in stock!! V 
pleased with the drive. So far I have copied a couple of our 
company's promotional stuff -we own a lot of commercial property and 
we got a company to get some footage of our better looking 
buildings. Anyway the DVD discs supplied by the film company have 
the video in what is called a .vob file which I seem to be unable to 
open with any of my dvd and video editing software. I have a few 
pakages the favourite being Sonic MyDVD to assemble video clips and 
give it a menu for use on home dvd players. The disc plays fine (as 
do the copies) on both PowerDVD on the pc and my home Toshiba DVD 
player.
I would like to extract the video/audio from these disks (3 of them 
with about 900Mb of video on each)and put them on one DVD with a 
nice menu for playback on domestic DVD palyers - any ideas please?
While asking, can anyone tell me what is the difference between DVD-
R and DVD+R formats? I am using DVD-R disks now, not sure why.. I 
suppose I am assuming they must be the most compatible for all 
domestic players.
Thanks
