This forum is for questions and discussion of all the aspects of handling your footage. If you have questions about capturing/ripping footage, AviSynth, or compression/encoding/converting, look here.
Wait, what? When you rip the vob files, the audio is in the container. Unless you're using a program which converts video but doesn't rip, I can't see how you'd lose audio. If you are, you shouldn't be. What program are you using?
No. MPEG-2 cannot be placed inside of the avi container (at least not that I understand) you'll have to index it with dgindex, then go back and add the separated video and audio streams.

Well, not necessarily. It depends on your ripper's settings; personally, I always set SmartRipper's Stream Processing settings to discard everything except the video stream in order to save space, unless I have some specific need for the audio.
