So as the title says, I have a couple of files in the VOB/BUP format that I need to convert first to .mp4 (I also have .IFO files and I don't know what that is) and then check for a public url to display them (S3 Bucket) But I don't know which one is the correct service.

I have read about MediaConvert, but I'm not quite sure this is the right service for my need.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

VOB/BUP/IFO files are typically found on a DVD where:

  • IFO files are an index and hold information about the disc contents
  • BUP files are backup versions of the IFO files
  • VOB files hold the video and audio content

AWS Elemental MediaConvert does not support these as an input (1). To convert these, you can consider leveraging a different tool that is capable, for example FFMPeg. Here is an example batch script you can reference that does this: https://gist.github.com/andreasbotsikas/8bad3df5309dd0383f2e2c450b22481c

You can also potentially have this workflow run on AWS by using AWS Lambda to run FFMPeg (2).
