How to convert VOB to MP3

  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. MP3 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 MP3, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

VOB to MP3: what to expect

VOB is a DVD-only format, large and unsupported on phones and in browsers. MP3 plays on every phone, computer, car stereo and speaker. 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; MP3 is the usual choice for music and podcasts that must play anywhere. The MP3 contains the soundtrack only; the picture is dropped.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate 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. MP3 is written at 192 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.

VOB vs MP3

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

MP3

MP3 audio

MP3 is the audio format everything plays. It shrinks audio to roughly a tenth of its uncompressed size by discarding sound most listeners cannot hear. Newer codecs are more efficient, but nothing matches its compatibility.

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The VOB to MP3 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 MP3 reduce quality?

The soundtrack is re-encoded as MP3. MP3 is lossy, but at a normal bitrate the difference is hard to hear. You can choose the bitrate under Options.

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 MP3 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 MP3. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. VOB to MP3 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.
