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 TS

The TS (Transport Stream) format is a communication protocol developed as part of the MPEG-2 standard, initially designed for digital television.

TS is characterized by its robustness and ability to efficiently handle continuous broadcasting. It encapsulates data into 188-byte packets, a size optimized for transport across networks, and includes built-in error correction mechanisms. This structure allows for quick recovery of the stream in case of data loss, which is crucial for live broadcasting and streaming.

Widely used in television broadcasting via DVB, the TS format has also become popular for HLS streaming (HTTP Live Streaming) developed by Apple. It supports multiplexing of multiple audio, video, and data streams, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of different audio tracks or subtitles.

While the TS format excels in live broadcasting and streaming, it has some limitations for local file storage, particularly a larger file size compared to other container formats like MP4 or MKV. However, its reliability and low latency make it a preferred choice for professional broadcasting applications and live streaming services.
