02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • The main video and one audio track of the VOB file you upload are used
  • A looping animation at 12 frames per second, 480 pixels wide, with a color palette made specially for your clip so it does not look banded
  • Videos smaller than 480 pixels wide are not scaled up

Good to know

  • DVD menus, chapters and subtitles are not converted.
  • A DVD is split into several VOB files (VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB and so on). Each file converts on its own, so join them first if you want one video.
  • Copy-protected commercial DVDs cannot be read.
  • Only the first 20 seconds are converted.
  • GIF has no sound, and 256 colors per frame, so photos look grainier than the video. A 20-second clip can reach several MB.
  • HDR video is converted to normal colors first, so the animation does not look washed out.
  • Files up to 150 MB are accepted. Long or very high-resolution videos can take several minutes, and a conversion that runs past about 4 minutes is stopped with a message.

VOB vs GIF

VOB

A VOB file is the video format found on DVDs: it holds the movie, audio tracks and menus in one stream. Ripped DVD folders are full of them, and converting to MP4 makes them playable anywhere.

Used in: DVD movies · Ripped DVD folders

GIF

A GIF file stores simple images or short looping animations using a very limited color palette (256 colors). It's the classic format for memes, reaction animations, and short looped clips.
