VOB to MKV

[suv32002]

So I had a movie in MKV. I have a friend who converted it to VOB so he can use his WD HDD and Some sort of video player to play movies on his TV. Well I was in the process of moving all my vids to my new External and lost the MKV... I have the VOB only now. My Samsung TV can have a HDD plugged right in and read video files... only problem is it doesn't like VOBs.... it likes all the other standard formats. I like MKV so I would like to keep all the quality that the VOB has but put it in a format that my TV can read properly. The TV will play the movie in double speed and no audio if I try try play the VOB. Anyone have any way to convert VOBs without loss to an MKV?

I guess i have additional info that you might want. I have tried to use tsMuxer to demux the VOB. I also took the Video and Audio files that It produced and tried to make an MKV with MKVtoolnix.

I dont think that the tsMuxer generally will demux the file and gives me an error but i think one time it might have actually made files for me... the error is below.
"Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized. Please, verify stream fps. File name: D:\downloads\Star Trek\Star Trek.vob" Straight out of the tsMuxer error report. HELP ME!!!

HOw did your friend convert to vob? Maybe used mkv2vob and then this wont be that simple.

Just rerip from the original dvd or blu-ray.

Well I do believe he used that to convert... but this is where the situation gets even more inopportune... I don't have the disk I borrowed it from my boss before I got laid off. He moved to another town and now I have no way of getting it and I am not willing to buy a bluray drive for my pc just to get a new rip of it (since i used his computer to do the original rip) I also should learn to do this just incase I find out I lost more MKVs then just this one. I had 100+ movies and this was just one movie I wanted to play.

One problem my brother is having you might be able to help with is... he has a few movies in MPEG-4 and the audio is in AAC. He wants to give me them but I dont think my TV likes AAC. I prefer AC3 anyways. What converters are there that might let me change that over... and could it convert to MKV aswell. I tried the tsMuxer and MKVtoolnix. Neither worked. The AAC audio was not picked up somehow.

Thank you for the advice and I hope you can help me figure this out.
