Meanwhile, the original YUV Raw Video's advantage of zero compression for maximum quality analysis may not fully carry over, depending on VOB Video's capabilities.

Video format conversion from YUV Raw Video to VOB Video involves re-encoding or remuxing the video stream. 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. Key factors include codec compatibility, resolution handling, and audio stream preservation.

Compression trade-off: Your lossless YUV 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.

Resolution handling: Your video's original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally downscale in the settings panel to reduce file size — useful when preparing content for mobile viewing or web upload.
