Mpeg2 Audio/Video Filter

Playing Video Object (VOB) files outside their usual DVD environment is not to hard of a job, provided that the appropriate tools are at hand. Beside a player capable of rendering that format, the computer must have a set of codecs or filters installed.

This type of media files, VOBs, embed a lot of information in their streams. Thus, these media containers carry digital audio and video data, DVD menus, subtitles and even more. If the goal is to simply view the movie only with the sound and video from such a file, one needs at least a pair of components for each of the streams

For such a purpose, you can use Mpeg2 Audio/Video Filter, a very small package that reunites the two necessary tools for decoding VOB files. There is a DVD video DirectShow filter as well as a DVD audio one in the set and they have to be registered on the system in order to have them function correctly.

Fortunately, the two codecs are accompanied by a utility that can register them automatically. You just have to run the Batch (.bat) file and both DVDAudio.ax and DVDVideo.ax DirectShow filters will be certified and ready to be used by applications running on your PC.

The sound and video streams that are embedded in the VOB files and encrypted in MPEG2format (for video) and AC3 format (for audio) can be now decoded and, with the help of a multimedia player, you will be able to enjoy the movies onto your computer.

All things considered, through the Mpeg2 Audio/Video Filter package the purpose of loading and decoding VOB files on a PC with a minimal amount of utilities is certainly served. No configurations, just a BAT file to run, this is all you will need to successfully handle such encrypted video and audio streams.
