Default VOB Files

Hi folks,

Can anyone explain to me why Windows Explorer can show a thumbnail of a VOB
file (and therefore interpret the file), but Windows Media Player is unable
to play it?

WMP will play it as long as it's not copy protected. Change the .vob
extension to .mpg.

I knew about the .mpg trick, but I can't get anything to play if it still
has the .VOB extension, copy protected or not.

Not a big deal really, but just wondered why it doesn't work in WMP, but
Explorer can display a thumbnail.

Yeah my issue is that i have vob's from my sony dvd handycam and i can
not play them anymore or burn them with DVD Maker. My old computer had
Xp, all was great back then. NOTHING to do with copyright here?? Vista
is just junk!!! All Microsoft has to do is make a fix for this petty
crap and it would be very helpful.

You can browse to your VOBs in Windows Movie Maker by using Show All Files
in the Import Files... window, and then save them out as WMVs that should
work fine with DVD Maker.

VOBs aren't really designed to be useful for DVD Maker, so you're kind of
trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. But via the above you
should be able to get it working.
