Yes, I'm back here again tryiong to figure out how to play a goddamn VOB file
on my PC. A task that was *simple* with XP is now tremendously complex (if
not downright impossible) with Vista. It must be the DRM crap.
I've given up. Microsoft has won. I have reached the point where I will
actually pay more money in order to view my VOB files. I'm tired of wasting
time on this problem.
I'm currently a Vista Business user. As I understand, Microsoft was too cheap
to bundle the VOB codec with Vista Business and only bundles it with Vista
Ultimate or Vista Home Premium.
Please someone tell me, if I pay Microsoft the extra money to upgrade from
Vista Business to Vista Ultimate, will I be able to play VOB files again? or
do I actually have to downgrade my PC to XP in order to play VOB files?
Yes, Microsoft, you have won and I have lost. You took my money when you
"upgraded" (your word, not mine) my PC from XP to Vista, and now I will have
to pay you even more money to get some of the XP features back.
[Yes, I know I could run Linux instead and I even have a Linux box that plays
all of my videos in all of my formats just fine without constantly
splattering my screen with UAC diarrhea, but call me a sado-masochist, I
still want to run a Windows OS]
Please Microsoft take more of my money (I know you have piles and piles of
money already but you must need even more of mine) and let me use my computer
again.
