It doesn't work for me every time -- I have no idea why -- but
occasionally, I have been able to simply rename the VOB file to MPG and
import that into Premiere (or whatever video editor). The DVD encoding
format is MPEG, after all. Worth a shot.
Years ago, I used DVDx (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdx/). It
looks like they still have a free version, but also a new "ultra" version
for pay.
