If you have gotten your hands on a VOB file somehow, chances are they have been copied/extracted from a DVD. VOB stands for DVD
Video Object and is the core file of a DVD containing the actual movie data, an MPEG movie stream and the supported audio.
To play the VOB files, you need to have a DVD player that supports VOB format. However, if you have the
Windows Media Player (version 12 or higher) or
VLC Media Player, it is good enough to play the file. Note that you will see a prompt telling you that it is an unsupported format, don’t worry about it and just play it anyways. It will play just fine.
If you want to obtain the VOB file from a DVD for some reason, just open the DVD in Windows Explorer instead of playing it through a media player. The VOB file would most likely be under the
VIDEO_TS folder. Some other files that you will also see in the folder are
IFO and
BUP. The
IFO files are the information files containing meta data about the DVD and instructions for the DVD player on how to handle the disc. The
BUP file is simply a backup copy of IFO files.
If you want to
convert VOB file to AVI or a similar format,
aviNET is a great tool to do that.
