Your first query about burning .vob files to a DVD, makes me think that 
you do not fully understand the structure required for creating a usable 
DVD. If I am wrong please forgive my ignorance on this matter.

I am not an expert on this matter - but it is not a simple matter of just 
burning .vob files to a DVD disk - the files need to be structured in a 
specific way.

You at least need to create an .ifo file - either manually or using a DVD 
authoring/mastering package - a lot of software packages do this 
transparently but it is possible to do it manually - I don't know how to 
do it myself . 

Have a look at the following sites - they are not Linux specific - but 
they do try to give some understanding of DVD files structures :

If I find anything better - I will post the links later - good luck.
