Sum up
The online way to compress VOB files is very easy, requiring no software download and registration. But most online compressors have a file size limit(max 100MB-200MB) and slow file uploading speed. The zipping method is likely to fail to get VOB files compressed further or result in a few percent compression when the VOB file is already compressed. In fact, VOB files encoded with MPEG2 are already compressed and you can't reduce the size of VOB video files easily. After testing, Winxvideo AI showed the best compression result - a 2GB VOB file was reduced to 200MB with acceptable quality. Just select the way you prefer based on your needs.
