Great list! No Film School is an absolute essential for daily reads. For filmmakers digging into older DVD footage for inspiration or reference, a simple tool to convert VOB video can be a huge help for getting those files into a modern editing timeline. Always good to have resources for both new techniques and legacy formats.
