Hm. I tried:
pes2ts 1 1 x.vdr > x.ts
ts2ps x.ts > x.vob

So x.vob should be a DVD-File, but it looks to be a MPG-file 
(like PVAstrumento generates), because if I rename it to 
x.mpg I am able to replay it with Windows Media Player
(whith many clicks - like if the HD is too slow, but it works).

I don't want to use Windows programs in Linux.

An other question: Is there a program that converts a .vdr
to a .vob so that I can write it on a CD and replay it
with every DVD-player?
