Where the VOB files are
Open the DVD (or a copy of it) and go into the VIDEO_TS folder. The video is in files named like VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB and so on: one film is split into parts of up to 1 GB. Ignore the small VIDEO_TS.VOB menu file.
One film in several VOB files
Convert each part here, or put them all into Merge videos in order to get one MP4. Both keep the DVD's widescreen shape and remove the interlacing that shows as comb lines on moving edges.
How long it takes
Older formats are converted by re-encoding the whole video, so they take longer than an MP4 or MOV: roughly as long as the video plays, often less on a fast computer. The MP4 can be up to about 1 GB; for a longer film, use the video compressor, which takes the same files and makes them smaller.

Why your video never leaves your computer
Online video tools upload your file to their servers, process it there, and send it back. That is slow for big videos and costs them money for every minute, so free plans cap your file size or add watermarks, and your video sits on someone else's computer.
Here your own computer does the work, inside this tab. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing to cap: no file size limit, no daily limit and no watermark.
Questions
Can I convert a film DVD I bought?
Most bought film DVDs are copy-protected, and their VOB files cannot be read. Home-made DVDs, camcorder discs and DVD recorder discs work.
Will my 16:9 DVD come out squashed?
No. DVDs store widescreen in a 720×480 or 720×576 frame and stretch it when played; the MP4 is made at the real widescreen shape.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Choose or drop several files together. They are converted one after another with the same settings, and you can download each one or all of them in one ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your computer does the work, so a video costs us nothing to process. No account, no watermark, no limits.
Is my video uploaded?
No. It is processed inside this browser tab and saved straight back to your computer.
Which browsers work?
Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari on a computer. Chrome and Edge are fastest on most machines. Phones work for short videos.
How long does it take?
In Chrome, a one-minute 1080p video took 13–19 seconds on the laptops we tested and about 40 seconds on a computer without a graphics chip. Safari can be slower.
Can I close the tab while it works?
Keep the tab open and in front until it finishes. Browsers slow down background tabs.
