Format VOB
The VOB (Video Object) format is a type of file developed for DVD-Video, introduced in 1995 by the DVD Consortium (now known as the DVD Forum). These files are essentially multimedia containers based on the MPEG-2 format, specifically designed to organize and store the content of video DVDs.
A VOB file can simultaneously contain several data streams: video, audio (potentially including multiple tracks in different languages), subtitles, and menus. The video is generally encoded in DVD quality with a standard resolution of 720×480 pixels (NTSC) or 720×576 pixels (PAL), while the audio may be in AC-3 or DTS format. This versatility makes it a format particularly suitable for commercial and personal DVDs.
VOB files are typically accompanied by IFO (information) and BUP (backup) files that contain the necessary metadata for DVD navigation, such as chapter structures and playback settings. A peculiarity of VOB is its size limitation to 1 GB, which explains why a movie is often divided into several files (VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc.). Although this format remains widely used for DVDs, it has been gradually supplanted by more modern formats such as Blu-ray for high-definition content. VOB file playback is now supported by most media players, although certain copy protection measures may sometimes limit their accessibility.
Format MOV
The QuickTime Movie format was developed by Apple in 1991 as the native container format for their QuickTime player. Originally designed for Macintosh systems, it has become one of the most widespread video formats in the professional creative industry.
The .mov utilizes a sophisticated modular architecture based on "atoms" that can contain different types of media, including video, audio, subtitles, and metadata. This flexibility allows storing high-quality videos with various codecs like ProRes, H.264, or DV while preserving excellent image quality.
Particularly valued in the world of post-production and professional video editing, the .mov format has become a de facto standard in the film and television industry. Its ability to maintain high quality while allowing for non-destructive editing makes it a preferred choice for professional editing software. However, its main limitation lies in the large file sizes, especially when using professional codecs.
Though initially developed for the Apple ecosystem, the .mov format is now widely compatible with most operating systems and media players. This universality, combined with its quality and flexibility, makes it a still relevant choice for audiovisual professionals, despite the emergence of newer formats.
