VOB is MPEG (with 48khz audio). One of the reasons why no audio is it
uses the audio codec/format Wizard doesn't support.

Since you want to remove the commercial, then I don't have any simple
solution.... Hmmm... try these steps see if it helps.

1. First, try some Video Splitter supports the audio codec to remove the
commercial. I think that's about all you need

2. If not, use some util to extract the audio to either MP2 or WAV (MP2 will
be much smaller).

3. Remux (Re-Multiplex) the Video + MP2 and now you will have the format
Wizard supports, and give it another shot.

Remux won't take more than 1-2 minutes on 1GB file.
