What is a VOB file?

VOB (Video Object) is a container format used on DVDs to store video, audio, subtitles, and menus. It is based on the MPEG-2 format and is structured for seamless playback on DVD players.

VOB files are a core part of DVD-Video discs and often found in the VIDEO_TS folder. They provide good video quality but can be large and less flexible for modern playback without conversion.

How to open VOB files

VOB files can be opened using VLC, Windows Media Player, and DVD software like PowerDVD. They’re usually found in the VIDEO_TS folder on a DVD.

Convert VOB to MP4 or MKV with AnyConv to make playback easier on modern devices.
