You may be able to use K3b to make an .iso from the .vob files and then be 
able to burn that.  Make the audio and video folders, copy the .vob files to the 
video folder then drop it all in the iso and create.  Use another dvd to get the
exact folder names and folder structure.
Test it by mounting the iso as a cd.  Then see if you can play it as one using 
a movie player.  If you can do that then it will work as a dvd once you burn it.

You could also use different software to make the .vob files into an .avi or ,ogv
format then use devede to make a dvd.  I'm not sure if devede supports .vob
files so try that first if you use this method.  My dvd drive is broken so I can't test it.
