Extension: VOB and MPEG files

Today we introduced several ways for you to convert your VOB to MPEG. With any one of the above solutions, you should be able to convert VOB to MPEG without any trouble. However, in case you are still wondering about the two video formats, we are going to provide you some extra extension knowledges about the VOB files and MPEG files.

A VOB file is a movie data file from a DVD disc. The VOB files are typically stored in the VIDEO_TS folder at the root of the DVD file. The VOB file usually contains video, audio, subtitles, DVD menus and other navigation contents, which is a majority of the data stored on the disc. There are very little video players to play VOB videos directly because most of the commercial DVDs use some type of copyright protection on the VOB file. So usually if you want to open a VOB file, you need to convert it to an MPEG format.

MPEG is short for Moving Picture Experts Group. Actually, MPEG is not a video format, but an organization that develops standards for encoding digital audio and video. The organization works with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to ensure media compression standards are widely adopted and universally available. With the standard being widely adopted, the files coded with the MPEG standard become the most compatible videos. And the MPEG-4 video format is the most popular and advanced MPEG video format nowadays. That's why we recommend the MPEG-4 to be the output format when you convert a file that is not compatible with your current device.?
