Convert MP4 to VOB

VOB (Video Object) is the standard format used on DVDs. Converting MP4 to VOB is the first step in creating proper DVDs that will play in standalone DVD players. Despite streaming's popularity, physical DVDs remain important for many users - they work without internet, play on widely available equipment, and provide a tangible gift or product. VOB conversion is essential if you're creating wedding videos, family memories, presentations, or independent films that need to work on standard DVD players rather than just computers or streaming devices.

VOB uses MPEG-2 compression, which is older and less efficient than modern MP4 codecs. To maintain similar quality, VOB files are typically larger than equivalent MP4 files. Standard DVD resolution is also limited to 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL), so higher resolution MP4 sources will be downscaled. Our converter offers "High Quality DVD" settings that maximize quality within DVD specifications, but you should expect some visual difference compared to high-definition MP4 sources. For standard definition MP4 content, the quality difference is typically minimal.

VOB files are just one component of a proper DVD structure. For a disc that plays in standard DVD players, you'll need the complete DVD folder structure with IFO and BUP files alongside the VOB content. Our converter creates this complete structure, generating a DVD-ready folder that can be burned to disc using any standard DVD burning software. We also offer an optional "Finalize to ISO" feature that creates a complete DVD ISO image ready for direct burning, simplifying the process for users who want a straightforward DVD creation workflow.

Our converter includes basic DVD authoring capabilities. You can add simple menu systems with a title screen and chapter selection menu, customize the background image and button style, and have chapters automatically created at regular intervals or based on scene detection. While not as complex as dedicated DVD authoring software, these features allow you to create professional-looking DVDs with proper navigation. For more elaborate menu systems, you can use the converted VOB files with advanced DVD authoring tools.

DVD region coding is a consideration when creating DVDs. Our converter defaults to "Region 0" (region-free) VOB files that should work worldwide, but you can select a specific region if needed for your audience. Regarding compatibility, we follow strict DVD specifications to ensure maximum player compatibility. VOB files created with our converter work reliably on the vast majority of DVD players manufactured in the last 20 years, though as with any DVD creation, testing on your specific target players is always recommended for critical projects.
