How to convert .ifo files to MP4? Or how to convert .ifo to MKV, MOV? We often see these questions in many question-answering platforms and forums. In fact, there are some misunderstandings about the IFO file. Here's a simple correction.
First, the IFO file itself doesn't store actual video and audio data. Instead, it is a DVD Information File format which provides information about the contents of the disc, telling DVD player what to display and enabling users to navigate.
