Sobre los archivos VOBComparativa de ventajas
JPG Ventajas
- Excellent compression ratio for photographs (10:1 or better without visible quality loss).
- Universal support — every camera, phone, OS, and browser reads JPEG natively.
- Adjustable quality setting balances file size against visual fidelity.
- Embeds EXIF metadata (camera model, GPS, exposure) automatically.
- Progressive rendering for graceful loading over slow networks.
VOB Ventajas
- Universal DVD support on every player ever made.
- Carries multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and menus in one container.
- Mature tooling ecosystem for extraction and editing.
Limitaciones
JPG Limitaciones
- Lossy — every save degrades the image further (generation loss).
- No transparency channel (use PNG or WebP for that).
- Visible compression artifacts on text, sharp edges, and flat colors.
- Limited to 8 bits per channel — poor for HDR or print work.
- Baseline JPEG tops out at 65,535 × 65,535 pixels.
VOB Limitaciones
- Hard 1 GB file-size cap forces multi-file splits.
- MPEG-2 compression is 2-3× larger than modern codecs.
- Tied to CSS copy protection — decryption was once illegal.
- Disc-era format; streaming replaced DVDs for most users.
