It doesn't seem to like ISO files:

# vobcopy -l -i ./test.iso
[Hint] You use -i. Normally this is not necessary, vobcopy finds the 
input dir by itself. This option is only there if vobcopy makes trouble.

The PS3 seems to be very touchy about what you stream to it. I'm not 
even sure a VOB with one audio stream, one video stream, and one 
subtitle stream, would work, but I'll give it a try.
