How to convert AVI to VOB
To convert AVI to VOB, upload your AVI file, choose VOB as the output format and press Convert. The finished VOB file is ready to save to your phone or computer in seconds, free, with no watermark and no sign-up. Your file is deleted from our server about 30 minutes after the conversion.
This free online converter turns AVI videos into VOB files in your browser, with no software to install and no watermark. When the video and audio inside your AVI file can be placed in VOB as they are, the streams are copied without re-encoding, which is faster and keeps the original quality. Otherwise the video is re-encoded as MPEG-2 video with AC-3 audio.
