A VOB file (Video Object) is a container format in DVD-Video media. It is the file type to store video on a DVD disc. Now it is also used to store video on a Mini DVD for Camcorder. Sometimes, we need to edit DVD VOB or Camcorder Mini DVD VOB video files with iMovie. Unfortunately, when try to import VOB to iMovie, iMovie always refuse to import VOB files, let alone to open VOB in iMovie for editing.
