If this bug wasn't fixed, you'll get a lot of skipped frames in the
beginning and it would be very ugly (well, if there is black screen or
some non-moving logo, that may be ok).
cat *.vob > my.vob; mencoder my.vob

fixes that problem, but requires a lot of space. Also, there was some
other way - "mencoder -dvd-device /path/to/vobs dvd://" IIRC.
