The processing went something like this:

Film > VHS > DVD (VOB) > VOB Join > Womgle MPEG DVD 5.0 > Split up into clips less than 15 minutes long > Save As MPG > YouTube upload > Various internal YouTube reformatting

Note that the time codes on the film were as supplied on the DVDs / VOB files. It was not possible to hide or remove them.

One of the problems with uploading to YouTube was that the full VOB files provided were 30mins + a few seconds in size. YouTube only allows just less than 15 minutes per clip. And so simply cutting the VOB files in half was not quite OK, there were always a few seconds left over at the end.

So the first clip had to be 14 mins and say 50 seconds long, then the next clip had to be 14 mins and say 50 seconds. And the remaining 30 seconds odd had to be tacked on to the start of the third clip, i.e. at the start of the next VOB file. This latter meant that the video and audio of the third clip tended to be out of sync.

Splitting the VOB files into just less than 15 min. clips also depended upon whether there was a logical break in the recording, video, audio at the point required - not always possible.

Unfortunately VOB and MPG files are not like a 'flip-book' movie - that is they are not split up into self-contained individual frames that can be separated (clipped) along with the respective sound track. Editing VOB and MPG files is fraught with inconsistencies. In particular when editing it is difficult to keep the video in sync. with the audio.

The files on YouTube can be downloaded using loads of different apps. Try and do this by accessing the raw files. A good downloader is HiDownload Platinum - start the sniffer, then start the YouTube clip playing.
