What is a MOB file?
MOB is an extension specific to files used by an online service available in Singapore called MediaCorp Online Broadband Television (MOBTV). This service offered video content distributed using MOB files. Such content was most often protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology.
With the acquisition of MOBTV by xinmsn, the MOB format was abandoned in favor of Silverlight files. Currently, MOB is a rare format and is considered obsolete.

How to open MOB files
If you cannot open the MOB file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports MOB among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the MOB file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the MOB format files
The inability to open and operate the MOB file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the MOBTV Video Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a MOB file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the MOB file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the MOB from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the MOB format
- The MOB file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the MOB file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a MOB file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the MOB file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the MOB file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the MOB file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.MOB) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected MOB file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the MOB file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. MOB) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
