FAQ

VOB to MP4, answered.

Will I lose quality converting VOB to MP4?

The change is minimal. Both formats are compressed, and PrivateRemix converts at a high quality setting so there is no visible or audible drop for everyday use.

How do I play a VOB file from a DVD?

VOB files rely on DVD structure and don't play well on their own. Converting to MP4 produces a single, portable video file.

Is MP4 the best video format?

For sharing and playback, yes — MP4 is supported by nearly every phone, TV, browser and editor, which is why it's the safe default.

Do my files get uploaded when I convert VOB to MP4?

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your VOB files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several VOB files to MP4 at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of VOB files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new MP4 next to its original.
