How to Play VOB Files on iPad with Ease?
"Wondering if anyone knows of a video player for iPad that would play vob files? I have most of my DVDs backed up on my pc using DVD shrink or DVD fab, and would rather avoid the whole conversion process with handbrake (which for some reason tends to cause system shutdown every time I run it). Any suggestions? Thanks!"
VOB files are generally from ripped DVDs, including commercial DVD movies and non-commercial home DVDs. It's a hassle to get all the way to the end only to discover that your video file won't play VOB on iPad (iPad 2 included). If you want to play VOB files on iPad, you need to convert VOB to iPad compatible format first.
In order to reach that goal, you need a third party software to be our assistant. I recommend Video Converter Ultimate to convert VOB files to iPad format, which provide optimized presets for iPad so you don't need to worry about the settings for your iPad or iPad 3G (iPad 2 included).
TIPS: For Mac users, you may refer to Video Converter Ultimate for Mac.
