VOB at a glance
VOB

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.
3GPP Mobile Video at a glance
3GPP Mobile Video
Convert to 3GPP mobile video when preserving early phone footage, reopening MMS-era media libraries, or targeting an older handset workflow that still expects 3GP-style packaging.
In most current environments it is better treated as a migration source than as a preferred final format.
