As you didn't mention what settings you are using it is difficult to say what the normal time would be for encoding - also the processor you are using is of importance here.

You can however either use the original VOB files or if you want to make them even smaller use a program called VOB Utils which will devide the VOB's into chapter VOB's. These you could seperately encode into mpg's and later merge together - so it's all up to you.
