VOB Streaming Questions

I know that TwonkyMedia can stream VOBs, but if I rip a DVD to my NAS so that it contains a VIDEO_TS directory full of VOBs, will TwonkyMedia be able to stream the whole DVD rip or will I have to merge all the VOBs into one big VOB? Thanks!

If you use DVD Decrypter to rip them, in IFO mode, there is a option to produce a single VOB of the main movie.

But does that imply that I must produce a single VOB of a movie, instead of a VIDEO_TS folder full of VOBs, for it to be stream-able by Twonky?

Well no, I think you can create a video playlist, but why have the hassle of changing VOBs when you can have the whole movie in one? Also some DVD's have weird layout, where things are split in strange places.

Sure, does anyone know how to join VOBs on Mac OS X? I know you can extract the main feature of a DVD to a single VOB using Mactheripper, but I'm not so sure how to join VOBs of the existing TS_VIDEO folders for the movies that I've previously ripped. Thanks
