Why we need to convert VOB to MPEG files?

The VOB format is the primary video container format used on DVD-Video media and stands as one of the more-recognized video file formats today. While it appears to be widely-used today, functionality and support for the VOB container format is still limited. It had always been restricted to having a maximum file size of 1GB. And when it comes to support offered by video editing tools and media player software, the VOB format is quite problematic. In case, you want to play VOB files on devices other than DVD player, like iPhone, iPad, etc., or edit VOB movies with video editing software like Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc, you might encounter errors for the format incompatibility.
