How to convert MP4 to VOB
- Add your .MP4 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
- Video is re-encoded to MPEG-2 at DVD-standard resolution, so HD detail is discarded.
- A VOB alone is not enough to play on a DVD player; it needs the proper VIDEO_TS disc structure.
- Chapters and subtitles are re-created by the authoring process, not carried across verbatim.
Frequently asked questions
Will a VOB look as sharp as the MP4?
No. VOB uses MPEG-2 within DVD-Video limits, so an HD MP4 is re-encoded down to standard-definition DVD resolution - a clear step down in quality.
Why convert MP4 to VOB?
To author a playable DVD-Video disc, where the video, audio and subtitles must live in VOB files.
Where does a VOB file play?
VLC plays VOB, and standalone DVD players read it from a VIDEO_TS folder; it is not intended for phones or the web.
What is lost when converting to VOB?
HD detail is lost because DVD is limited to 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL), and MP4 chapters and subtitles have to be rebuilt by the authoring tool rather than copied.
