I recently stumbled upon some old video files recorded on a camcorder about 50 years ago—well, maybe not quite that long, but they've definitely been sitting around for decades. They were burned onto a DVD and are in that old VOB format (specifically VTS_01, VTS_02, VTS_03, and so on).
What I'm looking for is a way to extract a few specific segments from these files and merge them into one single, cohesive file.
I've tried messing around with a few standard video editors, but it seems they don't actually support the VOB format out of the box.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a program that can handle this kind of export?

Maybe Avidemux can pull it off.

DVDFab.
Convert the files to AVI first, then just run them through an editor like Filmora, Sony Vegas studio, or whatever you prefer.

I can't quite recall which specific editors handle the .vob format out of the box, but if you're feeling stuck, you might want to try

just renaming the file extension from .vob to either .mpeg or .mpeg2 and then attempting to import that video into your software again.

If that doesn't do the trick, you'll likely need to hunt down a dedicated video converter for .vob files, though I’d personally suggest avoiding that route if possible since it usually leads to dropped frames, wasted time, and a noticeable dip in the overall MPEG quality.

If my memory serves me correctly, back in the day, software like Lead and T-Rex Pinnacle could handle VOB files natively. While their suggestion to convert the files is technically sound—it certainly grants you more creative freedom with the footage—finding those specific legacy programs after twenty years is an exercise in futility.
There isn’t actually any loss in quality during the conversion process; at the end of the day, the data remains digital.

You might find success with this:
