Convert VOB to MP4 — right in your browser

Drop a .vob file from a DVD's VIDEO_TS folder and get an .mp4 you can keep on a phone or laptop. It's converted on your own device, so the file is never uploaded.

Why convert VOB to MP4?

VOB files are what a DVD actually stores its video in — you'll find them inside the VIDEO_TS folder of a disc or a folder copied from one. They only really make sense to a DVD player: the format is tied to the disc structure, files are often split into 1 GB chunks, and phones and browsers won't open them.

Converting to MP4 turns a home-video disc — a wedding, a school play, old family footage — into an ordinary file you can store, back up and share. It's the practical way to keep those recordings once the discs start to rot. VOB uses the built-in software engine rather than the fast hardware path, so a long title takes a while, and as always it runs entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is my .vob file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, on your own device. There's no server that could receive the file — open your browser's Network tab while it runs and you'll see zero bytes leave.
Will this work with a commercial film DVD?
No. Shop-bought discs are encrypted, and VidKit doesn't remove that protection. This tool is for unencrypted .vob files — home-made discs, camcorder DVDs and your own recordings.
My DVD has several VOB files. What do I do?
DVDs split long video into separate parts, usually named VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB and so on. Convert each one to MP4 in turn; you'll get one MP4 per part rather than a single joined file.
