VOB vs. WMV

VOB WMV
VOB stands for Video Object. WMV means Windows Media Video.
This format can be found in DVD-Video media. It stands as the said media's container format. Supported by Windows, .wmv files are found in Windows PCs and is the flagship video format of the Windows OS.
Files that are of the .vob format can contain subtitles, and menus, aside from the typical video and audio contents. The .wmv format, as it is made for the PC, only holds video and audio.
DVD-Video media, with its contents having the .vob format, can be opened in any PC, be it a Mac or a Windows one, without any third-party application or codec installed. Windows PCs can play .wmv files out of the box but for Macs, users may need to install a codec or a different player to be able to play them.
In a DVD, .vob files need to have at most 1GB in size. Thus, longer videos put into DVDs result in multiple .vob files; most of which are 1GB in size. The file size isn't a problem with the .wmv format. While any .wmv file can exceed the maximum size of 1GB for .vob files, they usually do not since various compression formats allow them to have better quality that comes with smaller file sizes.
