How to convert VOB to FLAC
- Add your .VOB file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .FLAC in a few seconds.
- Download your new .FLAC file.
What to expect
- Video and subtitles are discarded - the output contains only the audio track.
- FLAC is lossless from this point on, but it cannot restore quality the DVD's already-compressed audio lost; the result is only as good as the source audio.
- FLAC files are larger than MP3 or AAC because they are losslessly compressed rather than lossy.
Frequently asked questions
Do I keep the video when converting `VOB` to `FLAC`?
No. FLAC is an audio-only format, so the conversion extracts just the soundtrack from the DVD's VOB and drops all video and subtitles.
Is the extracted audio lossless?
FLAC stores its audio losslessly, but the DVD source is typically compressed (AC-3/Dolby Digital or MPEG audio). Converting to FLAC will not recover detail the DVD already discarded - it preserves the audio at the quality it comes in, without adding further loss.
Why convert a VOB to FLAC?
To archive a DVD's audio - a concert or soundtrack - in a format that compresses to about half of WAV size with no additional quality loss, playable on most music players.
Where does a FLAC file play?
VLC and foobar2000 on Windows, VLC or IINA on Mac, and nearly any player on Linux and Android open FLAC. Some older or Apple-default apps may need a convert-to-MP3 step for portability.
