I'm using FFMPEG to convert VOB files to MPEG2 using ffmpeg -i file.vob -c copy out.mpg.

It's converting the video fine, but the audio doesn't play on the resulting files. I get the

[mpeg @ 0x118afc0] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5005000

error, but setting -analyzeduration to 9999999 or higher doesn't get rid of the error.

I think it's reading the stream correctly:

Metadata:
  encoder         : Lavf53.32.100
  Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x480 [SAR 8:9 DAR 4:3], q=2-31,
                      6124 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 90k tbn, 29.97 tbc
  Stream #0:1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 256 kb/s`

Here's info on my install

Stream #0:1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 256 kb/s

You are trying to mux an AC3 stream into an MPEG container. You cannot do this. You could use a different container

ffmpeg -i file.vob -c copy out.mkv

or perhaps allow FFmpeg to transcode the audio

ffmpeg -i file.vob -c:v copy out.mpg
