How To Open VOB Files

DESCRIPTION: A VOB file is a video object file, used to store data taken from a DVD

A VOB file extension is an acronym for Video Object, and is associated with a video container file that stores data taken from DVDs. Since it is a container, it can store a variety of information about the DVD data including video, audio, subtitles, menus, and other information that has been extracted or copied, making it, essentially, a DVD playback file. Files of this type are associated with an MPEG-2 program stream, so a file with a VOB extension can be changed to MPG or MPEG extensions and still play correctly. To play a VOB file, a DVD player must have that particular capability built into it to read those types of files. They can also be opened and read by a variety of third-party video player software programs.
