FAQs
What is VOB?
VOB is the video container of DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 streams); a DVD usually holds several ~1GB VOB segments. Convert them individually or join them first.
Can I convert commercial movie DVDs?
No. VOB files copied from CSS-encrypted commercial DVDs can't be read, and this tool doesn't break encryption. Home-recorded and self-burned DVDs are unaffected.
Is the 500MB limit enough for VOB segments?
Standard DVDs split video into ~1GB VOB segments. Use the trim tool to cut sections first, or convert segment by segment.
Getting VOB Files Off a DVD
Put the disc in a drive (or mount its image) and open the VIDEO_TS folder: the video lives in files like VTS_01_1.VOB and VTS_01_2.VOB, roughly 1GB each. The IFO/BUP files alongside are playback navigation data — not needed for conversion.
Home-recorded and self-burned DVDs can be copied and converted directly. Commercial movie DVDs use CSS encryption, so copied VOB files are unreadable — this tool doesn't break encryption.
Segments, Quality, and Widescreen
- Segments: long videos are split into ~1GB VOB parts — convert them one by one; if a part exceeds the 500MB limit, cut it down with the trim tool first.
- Quality: VOB uses MPEG-2, the best of the SD era; H.264 output halves the size at equal quality and no longer depends on legacy decoders.
- Widescreen: DVDs store anamorphic 720×480. Conversion keeps the original resolution and players stretch it to 16:9 automatically.
