Generation loss — quality may degrade
VOB uses lossy compression, and so does OGG. 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 VOB file may contain DVD IFO data metadata. OGG 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
OGG lossy compression can produce warbling at very low bitrates. 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.

Video frames, subtitles, and chapter markers are discarded
The OGG file is saved with preserved metadata (title, artist, etc.) where possible
