- DVD menus and disc navigation are not preserved.
Frequently asked questions
What is the quality of a `VOB` converted to `M4V`?
M4V is an MP4 container that normally holds H.264 video, so the DVD's MPEG-2 is re-encoded to H.264 - a lossy step. At a reasonable bitrate the result looks close to the DVD while taking less space.
Why convert a DVD VOB to M4V?
To get DVD content into the Apple ecosystem - iPhone, iPad, Mac and the Apple TV app - in a format those devices handle natively.
Will the M4V have DRM like store purchases?
No. Apple's FairPlay DRM is applied only to content sold through Apple's store. An M4V you create from your own VOB is a plain, DRM-free file that opens in VLC, QuickTime and Windows Media Player.
What does not carry over from the VOB?
DVD menus and navigation are lost, and subtitle or multiple-audio handling depends on the conversion. The core video and audio are preserved, re-encoded into the MP4/M4V container.
