VOB to FAP Converter

VOB (Video Object) is the primary container format used on DVD-Video discs, defined as part of the DVD specification developed by the DVD Forum. The format first appeared with the DVD standard finalized in September 1996 and has since been used on billions of DVD discs produced worldwide. VOB files are based on the MPEG-2 program stream format, containing multiplexed MPEG-2 video alongside audio in AC-3 (Dolby Digital), DTS, MPEG-1 Layer II, or LPCM formats. Beyond audio and video, VOB files also carry DVD subtitle streams as bitmap overlays, navigation data for menu interaction, and chapter point information. The files reside in the VIDEO_TS directory on a DVD disc, with naming conventions (VTS_01_1.VOB, etc.) reflecting the title and part structure of the content. Individual VOB files are limited to approximately 1 GB to accommodate the UDF file system requirements, with longer content spanning multiple files seamlessly. The format supports both NTSC (720x480) and PAL (720x576) video resolutions at bit rates up to 9.8 Mbps for combined audio and video. Integration of video, multi-track audio, subtitles, and navigation into a single program stream made VOB a complete solution for consumer movie delivery. While streaming and newer disc formats have supplanted DVD for new content, VOB remains hugely relevant for accessing the vast library of existing DVD content.
