| Compression | MPEG-2 video codec | Windows Media Video codec |
| Video Quality | High quality, suitable for DVD | Quality varies based on the compression, can be lower than VOB |

VOB files are generally used for DVD media and they provide high-quality video and audio. However, they are not as compatible with non-DVD players and the file sizes can be large due to less compression.
On the other hand, WMV files are highly compatible, especially with Windows systems, and are often used for online video streaming and downloading. They are smaller in size due to higher compression, but this can also mean that the video quality is not as high as VOB files.
In summary, if you are aiming for high-quality video and audio and are using DVD media, VOB would be a suitable choice. If you are looking for wider compatibility, especially with Windows systems, and smaller file sizes for online use, WMV would be more appropriate.
