I often store some of my video as normal DVD files and then use a
program to edit out a portion of one of the vob files I want to use.
There are many programs that will convert various file types,
including vob, to flash. However they must allow you to select a bit
rate for the converted old fashioned swf video file or the flv in the
newer flv/swf method that I illustrated. It sounds as if you used an
old fashioned swf at full vob bitrate. You must select a much lower
bit rate if you expect the file to start playing in a reasonable time
if you use the old fashioned swf video file method. In the case of
using the newer flv/swf method with start button I illustrated, if you
do not convert to a reasonable bit rate for the web, you can start
playing quite soon, but download to the temporary browser cache can
not keep up with the bit rate demanded by the video, so the video will
pause one or more times to allow more download before playing starts
again. The reason you have to wait so long is that your possible
download rate is far lower than the over 10 Mbps required to keep up
with a high quality DVD vob file bitrate. You likely must use another
program to convert to flash that allows you to select bitrate of the
converted flash video if your present program does not.
