How to play .VOB files
Question: Marc, I downloaded a video from Sri Lanka, but can’t figure out how to play these files. Most of them have the extension .VOB. Can you please help?

Sure thing. This sounds like it was extracted from a DVD, so there are two things you can do:
One is to download a free media player that can handle this format. I’d strongly recommend the free VideoLAN’s VLC media player. All you need to do is open up a program like Windows Explorer and double-click those .VOB files to begin watching the flick.
If you’d like to watch this on a DVD player, so you can enjoy the film on a big-screen television, you can burn a disc with these .VOB files, but make sure they’re in a directory called VIDEO_TS; if it wasn’t in your original download, try manually creating this directory and dragging the .VOB and other files, such as .IFO, into it.
Good luck!
I have an HTC Touch Cell phone and the video is in mp 4 format and I am not able to play them on my desktop windows media player is there a patch to fix this?
hi MCR the reason why u cannot watch those mp4 movies on ur desktop is because u are missing video codecs. the easiest thing to do is download fddshow or just google mp4 codecs. once these codecs are installed u should be able to watch ur mp4 with something like windows media player or whichever default player u use
Marc,
I have .avi files but cannot play on windows media player. It plays but not the video. It is set up to get the codecs automatically from the internet. Any ideas?
Ash,
You probably need the DivX plug-in for Windows Media Player (it's free) — just go to divx.com.
Cheers,
Marc
Good day Marc,
A few blokes use BitComet to download files from the internet.
They'd like to know what is the best settings that could be used to get the maximum download speeds.
