Understanding VOB and FLAC file formats

VOB (Video Object) is a container format used in DVD-Video media. It contains video, audio, subtitle, and menu contents multiplexed together into a stream form. VOB files are typically found in the VIDEO_TS folder of a DVD and are essential for DVD playback.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio format known for its lossless compression, meaning it reduces file size without any loss in audio quality. FLAC is widely used for high-quality audio archiving and playback.
