I want to make an ogm file by having a .avi video file, a .ogg audio file, and a .srt subtitle file because when I split an ogm file, that's how I found the files separated so I'm guessing that's how it works. If it's not, please correct me!

I use SubRip to get the subtitles and it seems to work fine. But I don't know to encode multiple .VOB files into a single .avi video file and a separate AC3 audio file. I don't mind if I have to purchase a program, but what's a good one to do this to create a .ogm (or .mkv if I have to) file?

You don't need to purchase anything, you just need to have the patience to start reading and learning. This is very basic stuff you are asking.

What you want in the end is video + audio + subtitles inside a container, right? I suggest you start with something simple like AutoGK. It has a good tutorial (http://autogk.me.uk/modules.php?name=TutorialEN). When doing the encode, choose the codec as Xvid, keep the AC3, and then use MKVMerge to combine the resultant AVI and subtitles to get an MKV file (don't use OGM, that's terribly outdated).

or

Use some MPEG-4 encoder GUI like MeGUI, AutoMKV etc and go directly from VOB to MKV. The tools will also allow you to add in the subs, when doing the final muxing to MKV.
