How to convert VOB to AVI
- Add your .VOB file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .AVI in a few seconds.
- Download your new .AVI file.
What to expect
- DVDs split films across multiple
VOBfiles (~1 GB each); open the full VIDEO_TS folder in VLC or use ffmpeg's concat input rather than converting a single part, or you will only get a portion of the movie. - Subtitle streams (subpicture bitmaps) do not carry into
AVI- use MKV as the output format if you need to keep subtitle tracks. - Re-encoding always reduces quality slightly; for best results use a high-quality encoder setting such as
ffmpeg -q:v 2.
Frequently asked questions
Does HandBrake convert VOB to AVI?
No. HandBrake removed AVI output in version 0.9.4 (2009). Use ffmpeg or our free converter above for AVI output.
Why does my converted AVI only cover part of the movie?
DVDs split long films across several
VOB files. Convert the full VIDEO_TS folder or use ffmpeg's concat input to get the complete film in one output file.Will I lose quality converting VOB to AVI?
Yes - VOB already contains compressed MPEG-2 video, so any re-encode adds generation loss. Use a high-quality encoder setting to keep degradation minimal.
Is converting a commercial DVD's VOB files legal?
Home-made and unprotected DVDs are generally fine to convert. Commercial DVDs use CSS encryption; bypassing it may violate copyright law in your country.
