Frequently asked questions
How does `VOB` quality hold up as `WMV`?
The DVD's MPEG-2 video is re-encoded to the Windows Media Video codec, which is a lossy step. At a sensible bitrate the result looks close to the DVD while usually taking less space.
Why convert VOB to WMV?
WMV is Microsoft's format and plays in the built-in Windows Media Player with no setup, so it is convenient for Windows-centric playback or older Windows software that expects it.
Will a WMV open outside Windows?
On Mac, Linux, Android or iOS use VLC - modern macOS QuickTime cannot open WMV. On Windows it plays natively in Media Player.
What does not survive the conversion?
DVD menus and navigation are lost, and the video is re-encoded (lossy). Subtitle and multiple-audio handling depends on the conversion settings.
