Convert VOB to iPad Video — Free Online Converter

DVD VOBs use MPEG-2 interlaced video — a codec that iPads cannot hardware-decode. iPads require H.264 or H.265 in MP4/MOV containers. The iPad Video preset transcodes DVD content to Apple-optimized H.264/H.265 with proper deinterlacing, correct aspect ratio handling (4:3 or 16:9), and bitrates suited for the iPad's display.

iPad cannot play MPEG-2 video from DVDs. The Photos app, Videos app, and Safari all reject VOB files. Converting to the iPad preset produces hardware-decoded video that plays smoothly with optimal battery life. The deinterlacing ensures clean progressive frames on the iPad's LCD.

DVD content at 480p resolution looks surprisingly good on iPad — the H.264 encoding at appropriate bitrates produces clean, sharp video on the tablet's display.
