Well, you missed something I didn't tell you, ffmpeg can't see the subtitles in the vob. Also, the vob doesn't seem to store the languages of the subtitles or the audio tracks. I want to keep all of those. Iirc ffmpeg sees the audio tracks in a different order than they are listed on the dvd sometimes. So I use lsdvd to find the subtitle tracks and their languages and the langauges of the audio trakcs, and then I use mplayer to extract the subtitles, and then put them back together with mkvmerge.

Then I inspect the file to determine interlacing or telescine, and then transcode with the appropriate filters.

The mkv is mostly serving as a place to store the separate streams and their metadata that doesn't come out in the vob.

So, it doesn't do anything? Rather than doing too much.
