It contains the actual digital video, digital audio, subtitle and DVD menu contents in stream form. It is an extension to VOB. It can contain video encoded in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1, or H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 and audio encoded in AC-3, E-AC-3, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD, PCM, and MPEG-2 Part 3.

Some software that can play EVO files include PowerDVD, WinDVD for Windows, FFmpeg for Linux (unprotected EVO only), and the cross platform VLC Player.
