What to expect
- Full transcode to MPEG-2: OGV video is re-encoded to the older DVD codec, a lossy step that can reduce detail versus the source.
- VOB follows DVD-Video constraints, so footage is typically conformed to standard DVD resolution and frame rates.
- Ogg container metadata is not carried into the MPEG-2 program stream.
Frequently asked questions
How is quality affected converting OGV to VOB?
The Theora/VP8 video is re-encoded to MPEG-2, the codec DVDs use, which is older and less efficient, so at DVD resolutions detail can be lost compared with the original. It is a lossy transcode.
Why convert OGV to VOB?
VOB is the DVD-Video object format, so people convert to it when preparing video for DVD authoring or for players and setups that expect the MPEG-2 program-stream format found on discs.
What plays a VOB file?
VLC media player opens VOB for free on Windows, macOS, and Linux. For building an actual DVD, authoring tools assemble VOBs into the disc's VIDEO_TS structure.
What is lost besides quality?
VOB targets standard DVD resolution, so high-resolution OGV footage is downscaled to fit, and the MPEG-2 re-encode applies its own compression on top of that.
