I'll give your command-line a shot. I was hoping to find some option
that didn't involve transcoding... I don't really care about saving disk
space that much, just looking to avoid long transcoding waits, maintain
the best possible quality and keep other items such as subtitles.

A while back I had played with simply cat'ng the VOBs together. IIRC,
these played fine in mplayer. Unfortunately, Myth seemed to have issues
determining the correct length of the film and skipping within it. 

I see some references to lossless conversion of DVD ISOs to MKV via
mkvmerge. I may give this a look also.
