For best experience, including better stability, I would recommend using the latest 2.8.1 nightly build (https://avidemux.org/nightly/). The last release 2.8.0 has grown long in the tooth.
There is a popular misconception about the attribute "stable" regarding releases. "Stable" means that the interfaces don't change, this doesn't imply in any way that the release build crashes less often or has in general less bugs than developer builds (nightlies). It is precisely the other way round. However, scripts (or plugins) written for the last release may stop being compatible with a later nightly without notice. This is what being "unstable" means.

If the VOBs are not encrypted, this should be possible. You should load the first VOB and Avidemux should prompt for appending the remaining sequentially named VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder.

There have been reports about hangs on load caused presumably by some security functionality built into Windows 11 which spends incredibly long time scanning all the Avidemux plugins.
