I got a hold of a dvd so I have some vob files to play with.  I just used DivX 
Converter to make a 230MB avi file from a 1024mb vob file.

I also found that Devede handles vob files quite well.  It has an option to 
make a menu-less iso ready for burning.  So I would try out devede and
see if it can handle what you made.  It does use ffmpeg behind the 
scenes but is a lot more user-friendly.
