My friend has been kind enough give me over 2 TB of ripped DVD only problem is they are in .vob files! So my question is about what is the best way to join these .vob files then play VOB on Apple TV- the 3rd generation I have.

Apple TV is a hot media device for us watching movies. But just like other Apple devices it can only supports MP4, MOV, M4V videos. As you see, the .vob isn't in the supported format list. If you wanna view .vob files on your Apple TV, the best solution is to encode/re-encode .vob to Apple TV supported video formats first. Here's is how:

Step 1: Download and Install Brorsoft Video Converter.

Overall, the program can be used as an all-in-one video conversion app for Apple TV. Besides vob, it can also help you convert almost various formats of 1080p/720p HD videos including MKV, AVI, MPG, TiVo, WMV to Apple TV. Meanwhile the quality of the converted videos is as decent as possible as original. The equivalent Mac version is the Apple TV Video Converter Mac, which can convert videos to Apple TV on Mac OS X (Include Mountain Lion and Mavericks).

Step 2: Select your movie. Click "Add Video" or "Add from folder" to import your source materials in .vob format. Batch conversion is supported so that you can add multiple files.

Step 3: Choose the output format. Click on Format > Apple TV. From the drop down menu, select the proper output format.
a. For Apple TV 3 users, Apple TV 3 Dolby Digital Pass-through (*.m4v) is recommended.
b. For Apple TV 2 users, please select the Apple TV 2 Dolby Digital Pass-through (*.m4v).
c. For Apple TV users, Apple TV H.264 1280×720(*.m4v) will be better to keep the videos in HD.

Step 4: After above settings, you can start the .VOB to Apple TV conversion. Once the process completes, locate the files and transfer and copy the converted .m4v videos to Apple TV. As you see, now you can effortlessly watch DVD .vob videos on Apple TV with the best quality.

Tip: There are many Apple TV users had the puzzle is AC3 5.1 Surround Sound supported for Apple TV format? Actually, Apple TV cannot support AC3 5.1 audio track. While, we usually have the demand to get the full AC3 5.1 surround sound to let Apple TV pass-through Dolby Digital to A/V receiver to take advantage of our surround sound system. This Apple TV Video Converter provides pre-set Apple TV profiles. The particular profiles are H.264 video files with AC3 5.1 pass through and AAC stereo. Both AC3 and AAC audio are retained so that you can either let Apple TV pass-through Dolby Digital to A/V receiver to take advantage of your surround sound system, or have Apple TV decodes AAC and exports stereo audio.
