How to convert VOB to MOV

  1. Add your VOB videos

    Drop VOB (DVD video) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. MOV is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab and can take a while for large files.

  3. Download

    Save the MOV, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

VOB to MOV: what to expect

VOB is a DVD-only format, large and unsupported on phones and in browsers. MOV is what Final Cut, iMovie and other Apple tools prefer. A VOB file usually holds MPEG-2 video with AC3, DTS or PCM audio and bitmap subtitles. VOB is at home in ripping and archiving DVDs; MOV is the usual choice for recording and editing on Apple devices.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can lower the resolution, trade quality against file size, remove the sound and trim the start and end. This is demanding work for a browser: a long or high-resolution file can take several minutes, and your device does all of it, so keep the tab open.

This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because VOB is not handled by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB.

VOB vs MOV

VOB

DVD video

VOB files are what a DVD stores in its VIDEO_TS folder: MPEG-2 video, audio and bitmap subtitle tracks, split into pieces of at most 1 GB. A film is usually spread over several numbered VOBs, which have to be joined to be watched as one.

Opens in DVD players, VLC and many desktop players; not phones or browsers

MOV

QuickTime video

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container and what iPhones and Macs record. MP4 was based on it, so the two are close relatives and often hold exactly the same video and audio streams inside.

Opens in Apple devices and video editors; Windows and Android are hit and miss

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The VOB to MOV conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting VOB to MOV reduce quality?

It depends on what is inside the VOB. When its video and audio are already in a form MOV can hold, they can be carried over without being compressed again. Otherwise they are re-encoded, which costs a little quality. Under Options you can favour quality or a smaller file.

Can I convert several VOB files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert VOB to MOV on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the VOB file, press Convert and save the MOV. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. VOB to MOV runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
