How to Convert VOB to MPEG in Linux
The VOB file format is the container format used for DVD storage, according to fileinfo.com. The MPEG or MPG video file format, created by the Moving Pictures Experts Group is a common video file format that typically employs high compression using the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 codec, according to fileinfo.com. There isn't much Linux conversion software available, so online conversion is the best option for converting VOB files into MPEGs.
