how do i convert a DVD to be able to edit it in windows movie editor?
Its currently in .vob format and windows movie maker tells me that it only reconizes .mswmm format. I downloaded SUPER but I cant seem to convert the file. Please help!

MicroSoftWindowsMovieMaker is NOT supported to be rendered by SUPER(C)
However, now that you installed SUPER(C), and AviSynth is enabled,
#------------------------------------------------------------
DirectShowSource("Vts_01_1.vob")
ConvertToYV12()
#------------------------------------------------------------
Copy and paste the above 4 lines in a txt file, name it script.avs
as you could tell, it is an AVS script, rename the file Vts_01_1.vob in the script
to match the real name of the VOB file(s) you need to edit.
Open it with virtualdub and edit your VOB file without any conversion/encoding and
without anu quality loss!
I cannot help you more, but I can assure you that you DO NOT need any
conversion/encoding tool, you better directly edit the VOB as I suggested.

This may sound really dumb but what is a txt file? I'm new at this!

Open NotePad, copy and paste the mentioned 4 lines into a new empty page.
Instead of saving into Noname.txt save it as Script.AVS

Sorry for the double post...
Ok, I created a txt file by right clicking on my desktop and named it script.avs. I copy and pasted the 4 lines above and replace the file name with my video's file name (VIDEO_TS.vob). Now I try to open it with virtualDub 1.6.16 (which i had to download from the internet) but it keep coming up with this error
cannot detect file type of "C:\Documents and setting\HP_owner\Desktop\script.avs.txt".
HELP!

You just answered your own question!
cannot detect file type of "C:\Documents and setting\HP_owner\Desktop\script.avs.txt".
That's normal!, VirtualDub can't read .txt file.
Your file extension the way you did it is .txt, while it must be .avs
in windows operating system, it is the last extension that count.
if your file is called myfile.pdf.doc.xls.avi.mov.mp4 then windows simply
consider your file as an mp4 (last extension)
please take out the .txt and re-name your file script.AVS nothing more, nothing less.

It added the .txt itself and I can't seem to get it to go away.
On my desktop it only says script.avs

Ok, it seems you managed to rename it..
Now re-open the AVS file with your NotePad and put the exact name of the VOB fle
including the full path like this:
DirectShowSource("C:\this folder\and this blabla\VTS_01.VOB")
otherwise the system can't find it.
or move the Script.AVS file that you created to the same folder where you have ripped the VOB file(s).

I did, the odd part is that it named my file the same default name you gave me so i didnt need to edit it at all. I tryed to change it just in case the caps mattered but no luck. 
Any other suggestions, I really want to figure this out!

I am really sorry, but this requires some basic knowledge that is not within the scope of this board. I really did my best.
make sure that the VOB file name/extension is correct (doesn't matter capital or not)
make sure to specify the full path of the VOB file
or put the .AVS together with the .VOB in the same folder (if the VOB is already ripped to your PC)

I really appreciate the help, I wish we could get this figured out. I wouldn't of been able to get this far without you. I'll keep messing around with it and If i figure it out I'll let you know.
Thanks again
