Convert JPG to VOB

Understanding JPG and VOB file formats

JPG (or JPEG) is a widely used image file format known for its efficient compression and compatibility across devices and platforms. It is ideal for storing and sharing photographs and web images due to its balance of quality and file size.

VOB (Video Object) is a container format used for DVD-Video media. It stores video, audio, subtitles, and menu contents in a single file, typically found in the VIDEO_TS folder of DVDs. VOB files are essential for DVD playback and are compatible with most DVD players and media software.
