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 WEBM

WebM format is an open-source multimedia container format developed by Google in 2010. Initially created as part of the WebM/VP8 project, it was specifically designed to meet the needs of web streaming.

Technically, WebM encapsulates videos compressed in VP8 or VP9, as well as audio in Vorbis or Opus format. This combination provides efficient compression while maintaining high visual quality. The format is based on a simplified version of the Matroska (MKV) container, giving it a robust and flexible structure.

One of the main advantages of WebM lies in its royalty-free nature, allowing usage without royalties, unlike some proprietary formats. This feature, combined with its excellent compression rate, makes it a preferred choice for HTML5 video, particularly for platforms like YouTube. It is particularly effective for live content streaming and video on demand.

While the format is widely supported by modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, its main limitation remains its limited compatibility with Safari and some iOS devices, sometimes necessitating the provision of alternatives such as MP4. Despite this, WebM continues to gain popularity, notably due to its streaming performance and excellent quality-to-size ratio, making it a promising format for web video.
