How to use it
- Choose or drop your VOB file (up to 1 GB, 30 minutes), or import it from a link.
- Keep the High quality preset, or pick a lower resolution if you also want a smaller file.
- Select Convert to MP4 and keep the tab open while it uploads and converts.
- Preview the MP4 and download it.
How DVD files are organised
- A DVD's video lives in the VIDEO_TS folder as VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB and so on. A long title is split into parts of up to 1.07 GB each.
- Our upload limit is 1 GB, so a full-size part is just over it. The last part of a title, and shorter recordings, are usually below the limit.
- Convert the VOB files one at a time. VIDEO_TS.VOB and VTS_xx_0.VOB usually contain menus, not the main video.
Protected DVDs
Commercial movie DVDs are encrypted (CSS). Their VOB files can't be converted here; only unprotected discs you made yourself, such as camcorder or recorder DVDs, will work.
Questions
Is VOB to MP4 conversion lossless?
No. The video is re-encoded to H.264, which is lossy, but converter pages start at the High quality preset, where the difference is hard to see at normal viewing size. The picture is never upscaled, and the shorter side is capped at 1080 pixels.
Why is the MP4 still standard definition?
DVD video is 720×480 (NTSC) or 720×576 (PAL). We keep that resolution; upscaling would make the file bigger without adding detail.
What happens to my file after conversion?
It's stored under a random ID on our server in Europe. The download link expires after 60 minutes and the file is then deleted automatically, normally within 75 minutes. Canceling deletes it immediately.
