The relevant segment from your output was:


>Input #0, mpeg, from 'VTS_01_1.VOB':

So, using http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/, I did this:

$ ffmbc -i 201112165232EU-SPAIN-ZAPATEROY_RAJOY.mpg -target dvd mark.vob

FFmbc has -target, so selecting "dvd" created a file with the same properties (mpeg2video, ac3 audio) as your source VOB file.

Carl will whine about not using a current version, but this is what I use, and it's created what you want - the "output" section matches what I think you need.
