how to play .vob files on totem?
 

hi,,
guies i am unable to play .vob video files saved on my hard disk in totem player 2.28.2..

there is no error message ..the plyer screen remains blank throught ..

any codec required??

i am using ubuntu 9.10..

any one can tell me the missing codecs to b downloaded

Open totem, click Movie, Open, navigate to the TS_Video folder and select all the .vob files and it should play, at least for me it does.

nope it didnt worked for me...but thhanks for ur response

Can you play a dvd movie with totem or watch a youtube video with it? I thought Mint offer all codecs one would need.

When you select the vob files, are you selecting them all before trying to play it?

d dark lordd are you getting an error when you try to play the vob files via the video_ts folder?

i copied the movie from a dvd on my hard disk and i am playing frm there not frm the dvd..i am not gettign error..

before that when i use to play.flv it showed error regarding codecs and there was option to download the missing codec..

but with vob files nothing is happening like that..
any suggesion is appreciated!!

no ..m not doing that.those vob files are on my hard disk not on dvd.

depending on your media player, as linux has so many to choose from, i prefer VLC as it runs native on all OSs that I use, thus makes my life simpler to explain to my wife how to do things.

1. ctrl+d (open disk)
2. check the VIDEO_TS folder radial button
3. click the Browse... button
4. navigate to your VIDEO_TS folder and select it
5. click the Open button.
6. Click the Open button on the first (open disk) screen you navigated away from to get to your VIDEO_TS folder.
7. enjoy your movie.
