Convert VOB to AU

There are strong reasons to convert VOB to AU:

Legacy system support: AU Audio is backward-compatible with older systems that may not support newer or proprietary formats like VOB Video.

Future-proofing: AU Audio has decades of proven stability and will remain supported for years to come.

Eco-friendly: Smaller AU Audio files mean less bandwidth consumption and lower energy usage during file transfers — a small but meaningful environmental benefit.

Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify AU Audio as the required delivery format for video content.

Cloud storage efficiency: AU Audio's efficient encoding makes archival storage practical — important for large collections.

2. Add your content — Select your VOB file through the file picker or drag it from your file manager.
3. Convert privately — The conversion runs locally in your browser. No files are sent to any server at any point.
4. Get the output — Download your AU file immediately. For batch conversions, everything exports as a single ZIP.

Part of the DVD-Video specification (VOB = Video Object) When this data is re-encoded into AU Audio, Supports mu-law, A-law and linear PCM encoding 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. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. AU Audio preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.

Extracting audio from VOB Video video to AU Audio format strips the video track and saves only the audio content. This is perfect for extracting music from music videos, saving podcast audio from video recordings, or creating audio-only versions of lectures and presentations. The audio quality depends on the original video's audio track bitrate and codec.

Important: Converting from lossy VOB to lossless AU does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original VOB encoding cannot be recovered.
