i'm willing to bet money you're not going to find anything that will
go directly from VOB > SWF. the only use for VOB is to dump onto a
DVD-Video disc, and it was created from something else. so, you'll
have to go from VOB > $something(MPEG2,AVI,DV,etc) > SWF. or, if you
can find the sources used to encode for the DVD, then you could
likely skip that middle step.
i'm rather into ffmpeg to do that sort of batch conversion thing. i
don't know if there's something similar for windows, but i've had
lots of success with this GUI: http://homepage.mac.com/major4/

yeah, i like that idea too. i just got done reencoding some of my
work and chose to use the H.264 codec on QuickTime .MOVs, but in
this case i wanted very high picture and sound quality, and haven't
seen FLV do anything that amazing. it is, however, very accessible
and increasingly the default choice for generic web-ready video.
