How to convert 3GP to VOB
- Add your .3GP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .VOB in a few seconds.
- Download your new .VOB file.
What to expect
- The video is re-encoded from the 3GP codecs to MPEG-2, a lossy step; audio is likewise re-encoded to a DVD-compatible form.
- MPEG-2 at DVD bitrates is far less efficient than the compact 3GP, so the VOB will typically be much larger.
- A VOB holds video, audio and subtitles for DVD-Video, but menus and multiple tracks are not generated from a lone source clip.
Frequently asked questions
How good does 3GP look after converting to VOB?
VOB uses an MPEG-2 program stream, so the 3GP's MPEG-4/H.263/H.264 video is re-encoded to MPEG-2. Because the 3GP source is low-bandwidth mobile video, the VOB inherits that quality ceiling and cannot look sharper.
Why convert 3GP to VOB?
VOB is the container DVD-Video uses to store video, audio and subtitles, so converting is useful when preparing a clip for a DVD-style structure.
Where does a VOB file play?
VLC opens VOB files on Windows, macOS and Linux, and they play as part of the DVD-Video structure on standalone DVD players.
What does not carry over?
Re-encoding to MPEG-2 discards the original codec data, and DVD-style features like multiple subtitle and audio tracks or menus are not created automatically from a single 3GP clip.
