Your files stay on your Mac.
DVD VOB files bundle the video and audio streams recorded on DVD-Video discs. Convertessa reads those streams and writes them into an MPEG-TS container — the Transport Stream format used in broadcast and streaming workflows. Set quality, convert single files or whole folders, entirely offline.
Drag one or more .vob files into Convertessa, or select a folder to queue a whole batch at once.
Pick MPEG-TS from the output format list. Because MPEG-TS uses lossy encoding, you can set quality to control how the output is encoded.
Click Convert. Convertessa writes a .ts file for each source. Your files stay on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.
Images, audio, video, documents, archives and eBooks — all converted natively, right on your Mac.
Pick a format you have — see everything Convertessa can turn it into.
Convert hundreds of files at once with per-type group defaults and individual overrides.
First-class support for HEIC, AVIF and WebP — encode and decode, both ways. Read JPEG XL and a dozen more modern formats too.
Drop files anywhere on the window. Native, instant, and exactly what you’d expect on a Mac.
Dial in compression, resolution and bitrate. Keep originals pristine or shrink for sharing.
Never overwrite a file by accident. Convertessa appends safe suffixes automatically.
Every job is logged locally. Re-run a previous conversion or revisit recent outputs in a click.
Bundle your converted files straight into a single ZIP, TAR or 7z — packaged and ready to share the moment a job finishes.
Right-click any file in Finder and choose Convert. A Quick Action handles it on the spot — no need to open the app first.
Shrink Convertessa to a tidy mini window that tucks into a corner — just a drop zone and a format picker for quick, one-off conversions.
No cloud. No account. No upload. Every conversion happens entirely on-device, using the power already in your Mac. What you convert is nobody’s business but yours.
Script conversions, wire them into your build, or batch a folder from the terminal. The same engine, no GUI required.
Read the full CLI documentation →Shrink Convertessa down to a small, focused window — drop, convert, done, with your recent conversions one click away.

New formats, new features, and fixes — every release, on the record.
No. Convertessa runs entirely offline — your DVD VOB files never leave your Mac.
Yes. Drop a folder onto Convertessa and it queues every VOB file inside for batch conversion to MPEG-TS.
MPEG-TS uses lossy encoding, so Convertessa lets you set a quality level before converting. A higher setting preserves more detail; a lower setting produces a smaller output file.
