mkvmerge only supports MPEG program streams and elementary
streams. Usually the extension .mpg is used for program streams, but
the extension is not relevant -- mkvmerge detects the file type from its
contents.

VOB and EVOB files are almost always program streams.

.ts is usually used for MPEG transport streams. These are not supported
by mkvmerge, but they should be detected as such and an error message
should indicate that a file is a transport stream (instead of the
generic error message that the file type could not be detected).

Kind regards,
Mosu
