How do i play .VOB files???

Assuming this is part of a DVD try running the .IFO file rather than the
.VOB.

Alternatively, changing the extension to an .mpg should do the trick.

Hey Lee,

This should be with XP not Vista. ;)

But have you installed any codecs? Like Klite or CCCP or AC3Filter? They
may allow you to play the .vob file. Also might want to try VLC player.

It can also be played in Media Player Classic. But as Rocky4uDude also
wrote changing the extension to .mpg can also do the trick.

KLite has done a lot of horrible things to people's systems over time. It's
not a great recommendation.
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#divx
is my personal pretty good list of codec pack gotchas. It doesn't cover
stuff like CCCP corrupting WMP's registrations, though. Codec packs in
general are a pretty bad plan. =\

I've seen a few posts describing this problem. The one thing that is often
common to them all is that the user has an ATI 2600XT.

I also have a 2600XT and when I try to play VOB fles themonitor disconnects. The sound may continue or it may start repeating the audio in 1 second intervals.

I also used to run an ATI All-In_wonder without difficulty.

This problem occurred with Vista and continues with Windows 7..

If I convert theVOB's to AVI or Mpeg, no problem.
