I have extracted some family home made videos with:

```
dvdbackup  -M -i /dev/sr0 -o ~/Videos/dvd-backup

```

The following files are created:

```
$ ls -1
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB

```

If I use `vlc ./` the videos play ok with sound.

I'm trying to convert the videos to MPG to upload to google photos. 

I've tried:

```
ffmpeg -i VTS_01_1.VOB -c:v copy -c:a copy VTS_01_1.MPG

```

However, when I play back with `vlc ./VTS_01_1.MPG` there isn't audio.

The output from ffmpeg is:

I have practically zero knowledge of video formats and the above commands I found via google. I'd love to have enough knowledge to use ffmpeg from the manual pages alone, so any tips for learning resources would be a bonus!
