Frequently asked questions
Why convert MXF to VOB?
To take professional broadcast footage in
MXF and put it into VOB, the DVD-Video format, so it can be authored onto a DVD that standalone players read.Is this a lossy conversion?
Generally yes. The MXF's high-quality video (XDCAM, DNxHD, AVC-Intra, ProRes) is re-encoded to DVD-compliant MPEG-2 at DVD resolution and bitrate, which reduces quality from the broadcast source.
What plays a VOB file?
VLC media player opens VOB free on Windows, macOS and Linux, and standalone DVD players read it within a proper VIDEO_TS disc structure.
Does MXF's metadata survive?
No. The timecode and production metadata MXF carries are not part of the VOB/DVD structure, so that information is lost in the conversion.
