Needed to upload VOB files from a DVD onto YouTube
“I was asked by a friend to upload their video from a DVD to their YouTube account. It’s a memorial service for their father and they had some type of account permissions increased to allow for the size….when I go to upload the video from the DVD it shows a number of .VOB files that are all the same size with the same data….how do I know which one to upload (or is each file just a portion of the total video)? Do I need to convert this somehow prior to uploading so that it’s one big file or what? Thanks.”

The easiest workaround would be combining and converting the VOB files into one H.264 MP4 video and then upload it onto YouTube. There are ways to do this, and HD Video Converter will do the trick. Check a short tutorial on how to convert and combine VOB files to MP4 for uploading onto YouTube.
