Instead of using VOB files from DVD directly, I use ImTOO DVD Ripper, which is available in a Mac OS version. I takes each chapter in your DVD and rips it to your specs: resolution, format (mpg, mov, avi), etc. I think this makes doing such work much quicker. I use TMPGenc to do my editing, encoding and DVD writing. it is pretty quick.
Then again, I am a PC, so I probably do everything ass backwards anyway.
