.mpg, some players only recognise the first audio track. - DVD movies are typically split into 1 GB
.vobchunks; merge them withffmpeg -i "concat:VTS_01_1.VOB|VTS_01_2.VOB" -c copy output.mpgto get a single file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I just rename a .vob file to .mpg?
Often yes - both are MPEG-2 Program Streams, so many players open the renamed file without issues. If the app rejects it, use a proper remux tool instead.
Will converting VOB to MPG reduce video quality?
Not with a stream copy - the video and audio data is moved into the new container unchanged. Quality loss only happens if you choose to re-encode.
My movie is split across several VOB files - how do I get one MPG?
Use ffmpeg's concat protocol:
ffmpeg -i "concat:VTS_01_1.VOB|VTS_01_2.VOB" -c copy output.mpg. VLC can also read the full DVD from the VIDEO_TS folder automatically.Can I convert a commercial DVD's VOB files?
Most commercial DVDs are CSS-encrypted; copying or converting their VOB files may be restricted by law in your country. Home-recorded discs convert freely.
