I need to correct this. See below.
I just tried your posted example. I had no problems with:
$ mplex -M -f 8 -o am-dvd.mpg am.m2v am.mp2
$ vamps -e 1.5 -a 1 -p -i xx < am-dvd.mpg > out.vob
and out.vob played like any normal .mpg file.
$ ls -l
total 21828

so maybe you should try different mplex options :-)

=======================
In fact out.vob had a shorter playing time because vamps did not reach
the eof.
