What to expect
- The video is re-encoded to MPEG-2 under DVD resolution and bitrate limits, a lossy step that reduces efficiency.
- VOB is a DVD-Video program stream; QuickTime metadata and container extras from the MOV are not retained.
- Standard-definition DVD constraints can cap the output quality regardless of the source resolution.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting MOV to VOB reduce quality?
Yes. VOB stores MPEG-2 video, audio and subtitles as a DVD program stream, so the H.264/HEVC in a MOV must be re-encoded to MPEG-2. That is lossy, and DVD resolution and bitrate limits further constrain the result.
Why convert MOV to VOB?
VOB is the container DVD-Video uses on disc, so footage is converted to it for DVD authoring and playback on standalone DVD players that expect MPEG-2 program streams.
What plays a VOB file?
VLC media player opens VOB for free on Windows, macOS and Linux. For phones or general sharing, converting back to MP4 is the practical route since VOB is tied to the DVD structure.
What is lost going from MOV to VOB?
Re-encoding to MPEG-2 within DVD constraints loses detail and efficiency, so files are larger for the quality, and QuickTime metadata and container extras from the MOV are not carried into the DVD program stream.
