Convert DVD Video (VOB) to Opus

Turn DVD Video (VOB), the DVD-Video container ripped straight from a disc, into Opus, the modern low-latency codec ideal for voice and streaming. FileChanger runs the video conversion in one call, no local tooling to install.

In the browser

Upload a file and download the result, no pipeline required. Open the converter.

One API call

POST the file with from=vob and to=opus, get the converted bytes back. Jump to the code.

From an agent

FileChanger ships an MCP server, so agents can run this conversion themselves. See the docs for setup.

Convert DVD Video (VOB) to Opus in code

The same call from any language: POST the file to /api/convert, the response body is the converted file.

curl -X POST https://filechanger.io/api/convert \
  -H "X-Api-Key: fc_your_api_key_here" \
  -F "file=@input.vob" \
  -F "from=vob" \
  -F "to=opus" \
  -o output.opus
