Do you mind not using capitals, it is recognised on the web as shouting and
is hard to read.

Which version of Vista are you using?
You should have MM.
MM in most vista should also accept the vob files on your dvd.
Otherwise convert to wmv using windows media encoder

Is your solution specific to Vista?

I ask because I tried using WME (Windows Media Encoder) to convert an MPG
to MV on XP and it told me that I did not have some component (I believe it was
a missing codec, but since this happened some time ago, I can't remember the
exact mesasge, so I'd rather not go out on a limb and say "codec" right off).

From what I hear, Vista does provide an MPG codec, so it'll probably be a
totally different outcome with this OS.

Yes, you'd need an mpeg decoder installed, this often comes with your dvd
playing software such as windvd or powerdvd.
