Fidelity When Converting AIF to VOB
Raw PCM audio in big-endian byte order When this data is re-encoded into VOB Video, Part of the DVD-Video specification (VOB = Video Object) Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original.
