What is VOB?
VOB (Video Object) is the primary video file format on DVD discs. VOB files contain MPEG-2 video, Dolby Digital (AC3) audio, and subtitle data in a special container.
VOB files cannot be played directly by most media software - they require DVD player software like VLC or the Windows DVD Player app.
What is AVI?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is Microsoft's standard video container format. AVI files play in Windows Media Player, VLC, and virtually any Windows video application.
Converting VOB to AVI creates a standard video file without the DVD-specific container, making it accessible to any media player.
