How do I convert VOB to MKV?

Upload your VOB files or the DVD folder, choose MKV as output, select H.264 for smaller files or MPEG-2 for lossless quality, pick audio and subtitle tracks, then click Convert and download the MKV file.

Why should I convert VOB to MKV instead of keeping VOB?

VOB files are DVD-only and often won't play on modern devices. MKV is widely supported and lets you compress the video to save storage space while keeping DVD-compatible audio and subtitle tracks.

What happens to video/audio quality during VOB to MKV conversion?

You can either remux the original MPEG-2 and AC-3 streams losslessly, preserving the exact quality, or re-encode to H.264/H.265, which reduces file size. Subtitle tracks are retained as separate streams or burned in, and resolution/frame rate remain identical unless you adjust them.
