How to convert VOB file to MOV

Convert your favorite VOB file to MOV file

A VOB file (short for Video Object) is a DVD file that is composed of the MPEG-2 Video, normally AC3 and DTS formats Audio, Subtitle and Menu content in stream form.

Generally VOB files are very large and difficulty to be edited, so if you want to store favorite vob files in your computer or convert VOB files to PC files for editing, it is a good choice to convert vob to mov. MOV is a file extension used by the QuickTime-wrapped files. The format was created by Apple Computer to work with multimedia files. Though MOV files are quite often found in the web, to play them on Windows computer one has to install an extra component or convert to other format. MOV is a container format and can contain video, animation, graphics, 3D and virtual reality (VR) content or text (for subtitles, for example).

The advantage of MOV files is the ability to contain abstract data references for the media data. That means that they can be directly edited with AfterEffect and Premiere - no need to rewrite all media data after editing. In addition, If lossy compression is permited, mov performs better than avi.

I have not found the software to covert VOB files to MOV directly until now. But we can use two pieces of softawre to have the work done. First of all, we need DVD Ripper Software to convert VOB file to a vedio format, such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, and so on. And then we could convert the vedio format to MOV.
