VOB File Format

DVD Video Object category

VOB is the container inside every DVD-Video disc. Ripping a DVD leaves you with VOB files that ordinary players handle badly.

Typical use: VOB to MP4 is the standard step after archiving a DVD collection.

About the VOB format

VOB is the building block of DVD-Video: MPEG-2 program streams holding video, audio tracks, subtitles and menus, chopped into 1 GB chunks on the disc. Ripping a DVD means dealing with VOBs; the video inside is ordinary MPEG-2, usually with AC-3 or PCM audio.

Commercial DVDs add CSS encryption, which is both a technical and a legal matter: this site converts the unencrypted VOBs you own (home DVDs, camcorder discs), while defeating copy protection is a separate question governed by local law. Convert the VOB set to MP4 and the DVD's content becomes portable.
