It's A Digital Disease!

So i have a bunch of old vob files, and i want to convert them to mkv or mp4 or something. I admit i don't have much experience in video manipulation but this is turning out to be exceptionally hard.

I have around 5 movies which have 5 vob files each. The movies are around 4 hours long but around 12gb in size for barely 704x570p so i would love to concatinate and compress them.

Now here's the problem, none of the video editor software is picking up the subtitles, not handbrake, not even ffmpeg but mpv somehow plays with the subtitles, though it takes mpv 10ish seconds to load the subtitles (weird ik).

Now if i join 5 of the files to make 1 complete movie using ffmpeg, the subtitles stop loading.

I have no idea what to do :(

thanks
