You are right, the ultimate goal should be compliance to the VOB format. 
But I think a short term goal could be to gain compatibility with dumb 
players. The reason for this is that this would make further processing 
much more easy.

There isn't many Software, which could deal with the current vdr format
(currently I know pvastrumento under win32 and mplayer/mencoder under 
linux). So  therefore you have an additional step: demux. This step 
involves in most cases a/v-sync problems. Player software is designed to 
avoid this problem. My short tests with your quick hack didn't show this 
problems too. Besides this the additional step is time consuming and 
needs a lot of hd space.
