How to convert VOB to ISO? I want to burn it to DVD
I'm using XFCE and was looking for a GUI application but I can not find one, I've tired DeVeDe but it didn't work.

What you need is DVD-author. These are rare now a days. Here is a list:

I've been using Q DVD Author successfully for few times in 2011, but DVD-authoring wasn't at least back then fully automatic stuff.  And also dvd's are becoming obsolete. You just create the menu structure and then the authoring program produces iso-image (videots.ifo/vts_0-0.vob). The 'DVD-language' kind of primitive (qbasic/any script).

I used DVD-author few years ago but I was short on time and had to make a few DVD's in about about 8-hours.  I forgot most of the commands and didn't have tome to 
re-learn most of it.

I used: 
- "Imagination" - to make VOB's crunching 800+ pictures takes few hours.  The only problem I had is that it gives you a lengh of time of the show but it will not 
calculate the size of the VOB in advance.  So if the VOB is over 4.7GB it will fit to DVD; especially if you include rotating effects. 

- DVD Styler - worked very good to create cover / subtitles and ISO

- To burn ISO on XFCE I used Xfburn - it was picky but it worked.
