How to convert BUP to MP4?

Part 1. What are BUP files?

A BUP file is created as an image backup file from the DVD files in order to create a backup image on your system for the contents present on your DVD. In case if your DVD is unable to read the IFO file (information file) due to scratches on its surface, then in this situation the data can be retrieved from the BUP files. Though a DVD can exist without a BUP file, the reliability will not be there.

The BUP files are also used by programs that are used for archiving and storing the information of the users. At times, the applications on your system also store the backup in form of BUP files before the app crash that prevents data loss.

Part 2: How to convert BUP files to MP4

A lot of people look for solutions on how to convert BUP files to MP4 format.

Since BUP files are the backup of IFO files, the converted files will not be of any use. So, the users looking for BUP to MP4 conversion are actually looking for ways of converting VOB files (DVD content file) to MP4 to play them on an array of devices and portable players.

The DVD folder contains IFO files (information), BUP files (backup), and VOB files (content). Thus, to convert the VOB files to MP4 and other formats a good conversion tool is required.

Once the software is installed on your Windows or Mac system, it is all ready to convert the VOB files to MP4 and other desired formats.

For the conversion, you first need to find the VOB files from the DVD folder.

Part 3: I cannot find the original VOB files

Several times it happens that we save the collection of our favorite movies/videos and then later when we wish to watch these movies, we are unable to find them. If the lost collection contains old, and unique titles then finding them on the latest streaming sites may not help. Moreover, if you do not remember the name of the movies in the lost collection, finding the original file is even more difficult.

If you too have been facing the same issue, we have a solution. Try searching for the lost video and movies in the backup files (BUP). Though backup files will not have the actual content, once you know the name of the title through the backup, you can search for them online and download it or buy it as suitable.
