Vob files are a container for mpeg-2 video files and an audio stream,if you don't have the appropriate codec installed in the computer somewhere, then the vob's won't play. Most of us Vj's are trying to get away from vobs because of the problems you are having, (and their large size) and instead convert to a more useable format such mpeg-2 or even avi. Sometimes you can try changing the vob ext to mpg so the player will recognize it as such and play. When the player sees .vob, it may not know or have the functionality to do anything. Converting is easier and unless you really need very high dvd quality for your videos, than try converting.
