[edit] Some questions

I have Canon CamCorder DC 10 and use the.VOB format. Is this normal for a camera? Which program is the best for editing? I have Roxio myDVD, but is that really that good? Other cameras, do they use VOB and which program? I don't get Windows Movie Maker to work. Why? Thanks for helt, I really need some answers here... :) NorwegianMarcus 17:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

strange... this article is very similar to the one found here: http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/vob.cfm. i don't know if they copied this, or if the page's creator copied them, so i'm not going to list it as a source yet. can somebody look into this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.103.152 (talk • contribs)

Thanks, I've reported it to WP:CP. -- intgr 13:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


Does anyone know how to move a VOB file (that's on a Dvd) onto an iPod video? I own the DVD to a TV series, and I was wondering if I could add it to my iPod. Thanks, Nicole

[edit] Apple DVD Player

Apple's DVD Player app does indeed play VIDEO_TS folders reliably, regardless of the claims made by the source. It's inaccurate to say VOB formats can be played on the Macintosh with VLC and MPlayer, which are clearly cross-platform alternatives to Apple DVD Player and the Apple Quicktime MPEG2 plugin, both of which are specifically designed for VOB playback. The Apple programs should be listed first to more accurately reflect the user experience.

[edit] Copy Protection

Does VOB include copy protection? How do VOB files on a copy protected DVD differ from a non copy protected DVD?

[edit] Competing Technologies

I'm removing this section for the following reasons:

  • The section is taken almost word for word from ratDVD, thus is written entirely from that perspective.
  • The technologies listed aren't competing with VOB in the sense they are competing with ratDVD. In fact, in terms of the files that are used on DVD-Video discs, there is no competition whatsoever.

[edit] Container Formats

MPEG-2 should be listed as a container format (general). Given the ambiguity with MPEG-2 as an encoding standard (it's both, see MPEG-2 from which the quote below comes), I suggest adding two entries MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS to the table.

MPEG-2 includes a Systems part (part 1) that defines two distinct (but related) container formats. One is Transport Stream, which is designed to carry digital video and audio over somewhat-unreliable media. MPEG-2 Transport Stream is commonly used in broadcast applications, such as ATSC and DVB. MPEG-2 Systems also defines Program Stream, a container format that is designed for reasonably reliable media such as disks. MPEG-2 Program Stream is used in the DVD and SVCD standards. MPEG-2/System is formally known as ISO/IEC 13818-1 and as ITU-T Rec. H.222.0
