We’ve got an easy solution to play .vob on Mac. QuickTime can’t handle this format, but you can use a third-party player to open VOB on Mac and many other formats. There are many third-party players to choose from, so we will suggest the best one - and it’s Elmedia Player.
Elmedia Player is the best solution to play VOB on macOS. It includes a wide range of codecs, and VOB is no exception for this video player for Mac. Like any ordinary MKV or MP4, you’ll be able to open .vob with additional features - subtitle and audio sync, external track addition, bookmarks and playlists.
Elmedia PRO is a step above, since it enables the streaming feature, the video tuner and the audio equalizer. Only for $19.95! All three are perfect for your enjoyment of VOB on Mac.

VOBs are used to store data on DVD disks. Usually, they have a fixed size (due to DVD restrictions, to get the most out of disk space), and separate videos in them are placed back-to-back, with large tracks spanning multiple VOB files. It’s an unusual codec, unlike MOV or WMV, so VOBs are not natively supported on macOS.
This is how it usually goes: if you can’t launch the file, convert it. We only suggest this as a last resort, as some quality (and even content, when it comes to VOBs) may be lost. But in the end, if you are completely opposed to the idea of a VOB-compatible player, these are the solutions you can try.
Sporting a wide variety of convertable formats, UniConverter represents your average desktop converter. VOB is on the list, as are many other standard filetypes like MP4. It’s quite light and easy to use, too.
Here’s a brief guide:
