How to use ffmpeg to rip part of a VOB file

Question

I want to convert a VOB file to another video format using ffmpeg. The video that I'm interested in is found in the first half of the VOB file. Is there a way to convert only the part that I'm interested in, or at least just the first half of the VOB, so that I don't have to convert the whole file?

Try Handbrake. It's a wrapper for ffmpeg that makes everything easy. It also has a cli version for batching.
