ATI File player and .VOB

[nirv117]

I used to be able to play my ripped .vob files with the ATI file player.

I had a computer crash, and re-installed everything. Afterward When I rip a dvd - the ati file player won't open the .vob files.

i get an error box from RManager ... could not open file XXXX.vob

I am using smart ripper - just like I did before, and installed the same file player I was using.

Anyone have any suggestions? am I missing a codec? are my ripping options wrong (I don't think they are) anyone else have this problem?


Thanks,

yes,

uninstall ALL the following in this order:
* capture card drivers (???)
* MMC software
* graphics card driver

Then, re-install them all again.
Play an actual DVD file, so tha ATI's software dvd player can make
or re-create certain post file setings or *.ini files or something like that.
These settings are necessary for future DVD player the next time you
pop in a DVD. In your earlier try, you may have overlooed this. Too
late to try now, as you've already create these settings/files when you
loaded up an stripped *.VOB file (ie, smartripper)

Hope this works.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Any particular order to re-install?

nirv117,

the reverse:
* graphics card driver
* MMC software
* capture card drivers (???)

Well I uninstalled etc ... and now my DVD player works again ...


But the file player still won't play .vob files.

I guess I won't worry about it. I also noticed it won't play AC3 files either. i thought it used to do that too.


Maybe I'll try removing everything again sometime ...
