Frequently asked questions
Will a DVD `VOB` look good as a `3GP` file?
3GP is a low-bandwidth format built for older 3G phones, so the DVD video is re-encoded down and usually looks noticeably softer. It is meant for small, portable clips rather than faithful playback.
Why convert VOB to 3GP?
To get a DVD clip onto an older mobile phone or to produce a very small file for limited storage or slow connections. 3GP is essentially a stripped-down MP4 aimed at low bandwidth.
Where does a 3GP file play?
VLC opens 3GP on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, including its AMR audio. Older 3G handsets it was designed for also play it natively.
What is lost going from VOB to 3GP?
Resolution and bitrate are reduced, DVD subtitle and multiple-audio streams are typically dropped, and the video is fully re-encoded from MPEG-2 to a mobile codec - a lossy step in both quality and features.
