FFMPEG can handle VOB files but if the VOB file is from a commercial DVD it's likely encrypted and FFMPEG can't handle encrypted VOB files.
A DVD VOB file typically contains an mpeg2 video stream and one or more audio streams. You can use ffmpegGUI (found on OS4Depot), to copy the video file and audio file to an mpeg format file but doing the following:
Start ffmpegGUI.
Set the video codec to "Copy".
Set the audio codec to "Copy".
Set the Output Format to ".mpeg".
Set the input file name to your VOB file.
Set the output file name or use the default.
Click on Start.
This will copy the video file and the first audio file to an mpeg file. If you want to copy something other than the first audio file have a look at the map option to ffmpeg. You can add the map options you desire in the "additional options" section of ffmpegGUI.
You can convert to other formats as well but you need to know the restrictions of the format your converting because ffmpegGUI doesn't restrict the settings. Hope this is helpful.
Thanks for that. I've tried a few more files, and ffmpeg is working, it's just one particular track on one disc that's giving me problems (and it had to be the first one I tried!!!). It's not a commercial DVD though, it's just a standard DVD I have used to copy my own material from VHS.
Here's the result from the "File Input Info" in FFMpegGUI:
