PPS at a glance

PPS

Convert to PPS when you need an old-style PowerPoint show file that launches directly into presentation mode, especially for legacy playback environments or archived slide libraries.

It is useful when presentation behavior matters but the surrounding environment still uses the older binary Office stack.

For current editable workflows, PPTX or PPSX are typically better targets.

VOB at a glance

VOB

Convert to VOB when preserving DVD-video structure, maintaining authored disc compatibility, or recovering content from DVD-based collections.

It is useful for archival and disc-focused workflows where the DVD container family still matters.

For file-based viewing and sharing, MP4 is usually the better target.
