How to Convert VOB Files to Apple ProRes Codec for Editing in FCP
VOB is the container format in DVD-Video media, which can contain digital video, digital audio, subtitles, DVD menus and navigation contents multiplexed together into a stream form. It is widely used in DVDs. MPlayer, VLC Media Player, GOM player, Media Player Classic and more platform-specific players like ALLPlayer play VOB files. However, VOB files are not widely supported by video editing software, for example, Final Cut Pro.
“Hi, I have some data on DVDs, and they are all VOB files. Now I have a question about editing them in FCP. Is there any way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.”
