How to Convert VOB to MP4?

Video Object, better known as VOB, is an extension generally associated with movie files and found on many DVD discs. Similar to MP4, VOB is a multimedia container that can hold not only digital video but also audio, subtitles, navigation menus, and more. But unlike MP4, VOB files aren’t as easy to play using traditional multimedia playback software. There are certain types of players that do support this format but usually, it’s a better idea to simply convert VOB to MP4 using a specialized tool. But which tool should you use? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today, so let’s start off with the very best tool for that job.

Part 1: How to Convert VOB to MP4 Using DVDFab Video Converter

DVDFab Video Converter is a very powerful piece of software that can handle video-to-video or video-to-audio conversions between many different types of formats. That includes not only the ability to convert VOB files to MP4 but also AVI, WMV, M2TS, MKV, and countless other formats. The converter can even handle 4K and 3D files so there’s support for pretty much everything. Not only that but DVDFab Video Converter is extremely fast and includes various editing and customization tools that allow you to modify files to your liking. Below is an example of how to convert VOB to MP4 with this software, which is available both on Windows and Mac.

1. Open the new DVDFab 11 main client and access the Converter module, which can be found in the top menu. Load the VOB file you want to convert by using the traditional drag & drop method or by clicking “Add” and then navigating to that file’s location.

2. Go to the Profile Switcher (upper left corner of the UI) to select the output format. We’re doing a VOB to MP4 conversion in this example so we’re going to select the Format tab and then the MP4 option. You can use the same process to convert to other video formats or pick Format -> Audio if you want to do a video-to-audio conversion instead.

3. Before we proceed with the VOB to MP4 conversion, we’re going to take a couple of minutes to make a couple of changes. You can use the main UI to quickly change the video quality but if you want to see a few more options click the Advanced Settings button. Here, you can also change the encoding method, frame rate, video resolution, and make changes related to the audio, among other things. Meanwhile, if you’re looking to crop or trim the file, click the Video Edit button to bring up a different menu. While you’re there, you can also add external subtitles or watermarks if needed.

4. Once everything looks good, use the bottom menu to pick a suitable location for the new file and then simply click the green Start button to initiate the VOB to MP4 conversion.
