How to convert WEBM to VOB
- Add your .WEBM file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .VOB in a few seconds.
- Download your new .VOB file.
What to expect
- Video is re-encoded to MPEG-2 and audio to a DVD-compatible track; because MPEG-2 is less efficient than WEBM's codecs, this is a lossy step and may need a higher bitrate.
- VOB is the proprietary DVD-Video object format, so playback is aimed at VLC, DVD players and DVD authoring tools.
- Only the streams present in the WEBM (usually video and audio) appear in the VOB; subtitle or menu structures are not invented.
Frequently asked questions
Does WEBM to VOB lose quality?
Yes. VOB is the MPEG-2 Program Stream used on DVDs, so WEBM's VP8/VP9/AV1 video is re-encoded to MPEG-2. MPEG-2 is less efficient than WEBM's codecs, so quality can soften at DVD bitrates.
Why convert WEBM to VOB?
VOB is the container that stores video, audio and subtitles on a DVD. You would convert to VOB when authoring content for a DVD-Video disc or for players that read the DVD structure.
What opens a VOB file?
VLC media player plays VOB for free on Windows, macOS and Linux. DVD-Video players and DVD authoring software also read it, since it is the DVD's native object format.
Will subtitles carry over into the VOB?
VOB can multiplex video, audio and subtitles, but only streams present in the WEBM source can be included. A typical WEBM carries just video and audio, so there is nothing extra to add during conversion.
