VOB to AU

VOB is a DVD-based multimedia container video file format developed by the DVD Forum. It is based on MPEG-2. A file with the .VOB extension can have video and audio streams, audio and video data, subtitles, disc menus, and navigation content. And all this is combined into a common stream. In this case, video playback is carried out in MPEG-2 format, and audio in various audio formats. Most often, the AC-3 format is used for this, since it provides the most favorable ratio of bitrate and sound quality. The VOB format has gained popularity as files in which you can store video and sound on DVD discs. As a rule, if they have such an extension, then the files have a place in the VIDEO_TS DVD folder in the DVD root directory. Typically, .VOB format videos are opened using any video player that supports MPEG-2 compression. There are many free players that support the .VOB format. In particular, Zoom Player, Media Player Classic VLC, Media Player, Light Alloy and others. Now popular is the paid player CyberLink PowerDVD, which has rich functionality. He specializes in playing DVD videos. VOB video files, originally called DVD Video Object File, can be accompanied by .IFO and .BUP information files.

AU is an audio file format created in Audacity. This is a free cross-platform program designed to edit audio files. AU format (Audio Units) was developed by Sun Microsystems. This format greatly simplifies the task of reliable storage of audio files. An AU file consists of 3 parts: a header (max. 24 bytes), a description block of various sizes, and audio data. The file format is used on computers running the Sun or Unix operating system. However, it opens with other audio players. The AU format uses the logarithmic encoding method, previously very popular on computers running the Sun SPARCstation operating system. Previous sound file formats, in order to reduce the size, used the logarithmic scale of recording samples. Among the representatives of such formats, the Sun AU group of formats, which are still in action, gained great fame. Problems with opening the AU file usually manifest themselves when there are no corresponding applications that would be installed on the PC. Applications that use .AU files are Apple QuickTime Player, Microsoft Windows Media Player, Real Player, Winamp, and other widely used audio players. And this is the vast majority of professional audio editors.
