How to convert AVI to VOB
Gather the AVI clips
Drop one AVI onto the page, or several if you want them joined into one VOB. Put them in the order they should play.
Make the VOB
Choose VOB and start the conversion. The video becomes MPEG-2 at DVD size and the sound becomes AC3.
Take it to your authoring tool
Download the VOB. There is no in-page preview for VOB, so open the file in your DVD authoring software to check it and build the disc.

Old video, DVD standard
DVD video uses MPEG-2 pictures at 720x480 and 29.97 fps (NTSC) or 720x576 and 25 fps (PAL). Adapterry picks one from your AVI's frame rate. Widescreen or 4:3 follows the shape of the clip, with black bars rather than stretching.
The sound is converted to AC3, also known as Dolby Digital. AVI files are always fully converted, so this takes a while for long clips. The VOB is not a finished disc yet: DVD authoring software adds the menus and burns it.
Questions and answers
Is AVI to VOB a full conversion?
Yes. AVI inputs are always fully converted, and VOB needs MPEG-2 video and AC3 audio anyway. Long clips can take several minutes, so keep the tab open.
Will my 4:3 camcorder AVI get stretched?
No. Adapterry picks 4:3 or widescreen from the clip's shape and adds black bars where needed, so the picture keeps its proportions.
Can I join a whole folder of AVI clips into one VOB?
Yes, as many as your device's memory allows. Add them in order and the top clip plays first. Clips with no sound get silence.
Will a DVD player play the VOB if I copy it to a disc?
Not on its own. A VOB file is not a playable DVD disc. Use DVD authoring software to build the disc with menus and burn it.
Why can't I watch the VOB in my browser?
Browsers don't play VOB files, so the result goes straight to download. The page still shows the file size so you know it's ready.
