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 MP4
The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 14) is one of the most widespread video formats, developed by MPEG in 2001. Originating from Apple's QuickTime container format, it is part of the MPEG-4 standard and quickly established itself as an industry standard due to its versatility and efficiency.
This container format can encapsulate various types of data: video (mainly in H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC codecs), audio (AAC, MP3), subtitles, and metadata. Its strength lies in its ability to maintain excellent visual quality while offering efficient compression rates, allowing for reasonably sized files. This makes it the ideal format for online streaming, video sharing on social networks, and digital content distribution.
MP4 enjoys universal compatibility, being supported by most media players, web browsers, smartphones, and tablets. It is especially appreciated for its robustness in adaptive streaming, notably with HLS and DASH protocols.
Its main limitations concern the file size, which remains significant for videos in very high quality, and the fact that some advanced codecs require licenses for commercial use. Despite these constraints, MP4 remains the preferred format for digital video distribution, combining quality, compatibility, and efficiency.
