I think mplayer will do this for you. I know you can do lots with it from the command line.

The last time I tried this sort of thing I used Handbrake and it
produced better results than I've ever had from following online
examples. Unfortunately I haven't been able to build it from ports for
quite a long time. If you have easy access to linux I'd suggest using
that.

Hi,

I usually cat the vob files together then use ffmpeg to convert like this:

cat video_ts.vob vts_01_1.vob vts_02_1.vob vts_03_1.vob vts_04_1.vob
vts_05_1.vob vts_06_1.vob | ffmpeg -i - /path/to/out.mp4

note, the '-' after '-i' is necessary to get the data from the pipe.
