For the purpose of file conversions, only the VOB file is really required unless you also plan to include chapters, alternative audio, and/or subtitle data.
(I.e., the iPad 'Video' app does not support VOB file content.)īasically, a standard DVD consists of three file types-IFO (which contains the information about the organization of tracks, menus, chapters, subtitles, etc., on the DVD) BUP (essentually a Back-Up of the IFO in case the IFO file becomes damaged), and the VOB file as explained above in the VIDEO_TS folder. Normally, this would be an H.264/AAC (iPad playback) or H.264/AAC/AC3 (iPad playback through TV) file. Its a DVD made by a teacher for us.įirst of all, if you want to play your content on an iPad, your goal here is to convert the VOB (Video Object which normally contains the actual 'muxed' MPEG-2/AC3, MPEG-2/PCM, or MPEG-2/DTS content) file(s) to an iPad compatible compression format. I have tried converting through Burn with no luck. I have two sorts of files that I want to load on my mac and Ipad, they are BUP and VOB.
