- Download your new .VOB file.
What to expect
.m4vfiles purchased from the iTunes or Apple TV Store carry FairPlay DRM and cannot be converted by any tool without removing the DRM first, which is legally restricted in most countries.- MPEG-2 (used in
.vob) is far less efficient than H.264 or H.265, so the output will be either noticeably larger or lower quality than the source at the same file size. - A standalone
.vobfile will not play in a DVD player - a complete DVD requires.ifoand.bupnavigation files alongside the.vob, which DVD authoring software creates automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert an iTunes M4V to VOB?
Only if the file is DRM-free. Purchases from the iTunes or Apple TV Store carry FairPlay DRM that blocks conversion; personal video exports and non-DRM
.m4v files convert without issue.Will the video quality be the same after conversion?
No - MPEG-2 is less efficient than H.264, so the same visual quality requires roughly 3-4× the bitrate, meaning quality will drop or file size will grow significantly.
Why won't my converted VOB play in a DVD player?
A raw
.vob file is not a valid DVD - the player needs a VIDEO_TS folder containing .ifo and .bup navigation files alongside the .vob; use DVD authoring software to build the full structure.Will an HD or 4K M4V be downscaled when converting to VOB?
Yes - standard DVD supports a maximum of 720×480 (NTSC) or 720×576 (PAL), so any HD or 4K
.m4v will be downscaled during conversion.
