    If you have the VOB, IFO, and BUP files in a folder, you can add that folder to the Movie Gallery in Windows Media Center.  Then from within WMC, you can playback that movie.

    To be honest, I haven't tried playing those files outside of the VIDEO_TS folder.  I've only tried playing the VOB file while it is located in the VIDEO_TS folder.  I'll try it out tonight, if I get the chance.

    Thanks for the replys guys , it is in media centre my vob playback was broken ?? seems ok in media player outside of centre ... i`m working with some .EVO files presently , when its finished i`l go have another look at the vobs and see if there sorted yet, i only say that becuase i have been testing software lately on 7 and it could well have been some of this that broke it ?? i just wondered if anyone else had found broken vob playing in media centre so i could rule out an O/s update

    I have the same issue. I have also seen this issue on a number of boards with no resolve only substitutions. :( .... Here's my stats: Using WHS [just bought - latest service packs] to store movies in a DVD folder. Using a P4-2.6GhzPc w/ 1.3G memory - Radeon 7000-64M card - Running W7-pro - just downloaded last week [8yo daughters PC] Running hardwired network. Want to stream to an Xbox 360 eventually [still need to buy] Directories are setup with //server/videos/from DVD/movie-name/VIDEO_TS and using My Movies - I direct WMC to "from DVD folder" and subdirectories..... WMC won't find VOB or iso files [lossless] - thus I can't play them there - WMP12 plays them fine now after adding codecs [this was an issue at first]. Using K-lite..... Here's what has failed: Tried added the directory through the movies screen [right click] Tried renaming directory Tried finding local on C: drive Tried adding a ton of codecs [and removing eventually] Tried installing WMP11 [all media plays fine on this one] Tried changing depth of search for directories..... Is there a registry setting in WMC [like the old Vista one] for turning the file types on? Is my PC hosting the WMC powerful enough [should still find them though]? Do I need to worry about finding them on the PC if the Xbox can find them in future with running the service on the PC? Do I have to rebuild/reinstall PC?.... Thx Rusty

    Typo - It's all set in WMC when I search for files. Thx.
