What is PDS file?
The PDS file type is associated with .pds files, which are part of CyberLink PowerDirector’s project file system. PowerDirector is a video editing software used to merge video, audio and graphics with sound effects and other media elements. The PDS file type specifically corresponds to the project script found in the CyberLink PowerDirector suite. [ ⏩ ] PDS file extension
What is VOB file?
The VOB file extension is associated with DVD Video files. It is a container format for storing media used on DVDs. It is also the primary MPEG-2 format for authoring movies and adding menus, bonus features and content. A VOB file contains all the streams (including video, audio, subtitles and navigation menus) required to playback a DVD movie. The structure of a VOB file is based on the MPEG-2 program stream. Each VOB typically contains a single chapter from a DVD and can be up to 1 GB in size. [ ⏩ ] VOB file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from PDS to VOB?
To successfully convert the PDS file to VOB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.PDS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VOB (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than VOB).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. PDS to VOB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting PDS files to VOB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VOB, while before this step we had the PDS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VOB file, or not.
