Limitaciones
AAC Limitaciones
- Patent-encumbered — encoders have licensing fees, which is why open alternatives (Opus, Vorbis) exist.
- Slightly more complex to encode than MP3.
- Raw .aac streams carry no seek index — tooling often prefers M4A/MP4 containers.
- Lossy — not suitable for archival or studio production.
VOB Limitaciones
- Hard 1 GB file-size cap forces multi-file splits.
- MPEG-2 compression is 2-3× larger than modern codecs.
- Tied to CSS copy protection — decryption was once illegal.
- Disc-era format; streaming replaced DVDs for most users.
