Read here:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Automatic-stream-selection

    "In the absence of any map options for a particular output file,
     ffmpeg inspects the output format to check which type of streams
     can be included in it, viz. video, audio and/or subtitles. For
     each acceptable stream type, ffmpeg will pick one stream, when
     available, from among all the inputs."

So, by default, ffmpeg only selects one of each.

You can use "-map 0" to get *all* streams from the input. This is at
the risk of also mapping e.g. data streams, which the output format may
not support. You would surpress them with "-dn".

Otherwise, you can map each stream explicitly: "-map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:1 ..."

In VOBs, subtitles tend to appear later in the files. Use large values
for "-probesize" and "-analyzeduration" for seeing them (not only when
probing, but also when converting).

OTOH, your ffmpeg output doesn't report them appearing later, which it
should, if it were to find them. So I'm not sure they're there.
