What changes when you convert MPEG to VOB
Because VOB supports MPEG-2 just like MPEG does, the video stream can be carried across without a quality-costing re-encode.
At 1080p, MPEG typically runs around 5.5 Mbps while VOB sits near 6.5 Mbps, which is the main driver of the size difference you will see.
This is an older container, introduced in 1996, and browsers will not play it directly. It is best suited to archival or a dedicated player.
