Awhile back, I had a local camera shop make a DVD of a 25-year-old 8mm home video. I fiddled with it, tried to edit it, failed. Speccy said that the CPU (Intel Core i7 10700 @ 2.90 GHz) had zoomed up to 98 degrees Celsius. I put the DVD aside for 3 years.
Now, as a recent retiree with more time to educate myself, it's time to try again. After a couple of hours of trying, I still don't feel like I have a handle on it yet, although I have learned a couple of things that don't work.
Find VOB files on the DVD: check
Import a VOB file into OpenShot: check
Preview VOB file in OpenShot: appears on timeline, but with blank screen and no audio
Try again. Google some more.
Convert VOB file to MP4 with VLC media player: Good picture, audio sounds like a chainsaw cutting down a tree
Try again. Google some more. Someone on Reddit advised to "Remux VOB to MP4 with Handbrake", which is another language altogether.
Next - read and learn about using HandBrake, and remux it, don't convert it. I think that's what next, anyway. But not tonight, though.
Anyway, I learned something.
