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. MOV Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data. Convert MOV to MP4 for cross-platform sharing (usually no re-encoding needed) For the best results, start with the highest quality VOB Video source file available.

Xonvert selects the most efficient encoding strategy — remuxing when possible (zero quality loss) and re-encoding with optimal parameters when the target format requires a different codec.
