Quality & Fidelity
Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. VOB Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data. Rip DVD VOBs to MP4 or MKV for modern device playback For the best results, start with the highest quality Nikon RAW source file available.
Converting a static Nikon RAW image to VOB Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless NEF source retains all original data. Converting to lossy VOB will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
