Generation loss — quality may degrade
OGV uses lossy compression, and so does VOB. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Some metadata may not survive
Your OGV file may contain Vorbis comments metadata. VOB has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
What compression artifacts to expect
VOB lossy compression can produce MPEG-2 blockiness. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.

What Happens When You Convert OGV to VOB
Your OGV video is transcoded — video and audio streams are decoded and re-encoded into the VOB container. This is a lossy process that takes time proportional to the video duration.
Your OGV file is demuxed — video, audio, and subtitle streams are separated
The video stream is decoded frame-by-frame, then re-encoded with VOB-compatible codecs (typically H.264 for MP4)
The audio stream is decoded and re-encoded (or copied if the codec is compatible)
Subtitle and chapter data is preserved where the target supports it
Streams are muxed into the VOB container and the file is saved

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my OGV file open?
OGV files may not open if your device lacks the right codec or application. Converting to VOB — a more widely supported format — usually resolves this. VOB is the DVD video format containing MPEG-2 streams, audio, subtitles, and menus.
Is it safe to convert OGV to VOB online?
Yes. CocoConvert encrypts your file via TLS, processes it on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deletes it within 24 hours. Your files are never shared or analysed.
Will I lose quality converting OGV to VOB?
OGV uses lossy compression, and so does VOB. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible. CocoConvert uses high-quality encoder defaults to preserve as much fidelity as possible.
How large can my OGV file be?
Free users can convert files up to 250 MB each. Pro users get a 5 GB limit per file, and Business API users have custom limits.
