yes, reading manuals
you are missing the "-i"-param

with the line below i combined some vob-files a few days ago
from a DVD while conberting them to H264 at the same time

remember the \ at the end of line means break the line for
better readability but handle it still as one line

ffmpeg -i \
"concat:VTS_01_0.VOB|VTS_01_1.VOB|VTS_01_2.VOB|VTS_01_3.VOB|VTS_01_4.VOB" \
  -f 'mp4' \
  -vcodec 'libx264' \
  -vb '1024k' \
  -maxrate '4048k' \
  -bufsize '30M' \
  -acodec 'libfaac' \
  -ab '128k' \
  -profile 'main' \
  -threads 8 \
  full.m4v
