It doesn't preserve the color information and language info, but that's
generally not a problem. Mplayer and xine still plays most of them just
fine, and VLC covers the slack if palette detection goes wonky.

vobcopy is worse than useless if you have a multi-angle dvd (or did they
fix that?) Also problems with some exotic copy protection schemes.
Mplayer's dumpstream follows a single camera angle.

How I've tried, how I've tried. the documentation isn't brimming with
examples of this kind of process. I would love to be able to encode
video, audio and sub stream into a vob that can be burned to a DVD, if
anyone is feeling generous :)
