If you’re looking for ways to compress VOB files, you’ve come to the right place. This post from MiniTool MovieMaker (a Windows video editor) will give you 2 simple methods to reduce the MOV file size, making it easier to store and manage your large VOB files.
What Is a VOB File
Before learning how to compress VOB files, let’s first look at the basic information about the VOB file.
VOB (video object) is the container format for storing DVD-video media and can contain digital video, digital audio, subtitles, DVD menus, and other navigation contents. Files with the .VOB file extension are VOB files, usually stored in the VIDEO_TS folder in the root directory of the DVD, along with .BUP and .IFO files. Therefore, VOB files are typically quite large.
If you have some very large VOB files, compress them to save storage space. Here are two ways to compress VOB files on a Windows PC.
