cat *.VOB > output.vob
make sure the output name doesn't fit the wildcard criteria in the input name

Is that a terminal command? Does it also work for AVI files?

yes, no. it works for vob, mpv, mpa and ac3. it doesn't work for mov, mp4, avi, mpeg (muxed), asf/wmv, rm. I don't know about ts or m2t transport streams.

Thanks a lot Uncle! 
Seems like I will still have to use ffmpegX for AVIs then...

1) Open terminal
type "CD desktop"
<move all the xxx.vob files to your desktop as you normally would>
type "cat *.VOB > output.vob"
wait...
done

cat is an app which can do this. it's not only free, it comes with your computer.
<move all the xxx.vob files to your desktop as you normally would>
type "cat *.VOB > output.vob"
it's very important that the input criteria ("*.VOB") is not satisfied by the output ("output.vob") or else the program will add the output to itself in an infinite loop. The easiest way to do this is to use CAPS for the input and lowercase for the output, since command line utils are case sensitive (in general)
