Streaming VOB Video Files from Windows 7 Ultimate Media Player 12

Here we go....I recently purchased a Samsung LED UN46C6500. I set up the Samsung on my network and can see the Videos folder from WMC-7. I can only playback a couple of file types from WMC-7 MPG & MP4. When I add additional MPG files they don't show up in the Samsung folder with the others? thats problem number 1. Problem number 2... I would like to playback my ripped DVDs from the HD which are VOBs. The VOBs don't show up in the WMC-7 Video Folder. On the Mircosoft forum it says I can use a 3rd party Codec for VOBs thats fine but which one would be best. Has anyone else run into this scenario with positive results....thanks

WMP for streaming doesn't automagically pick new files. You have to open WMP and make sure the library rescans and finds the new files before you can stream them.

As for VOBs - use VB2MPG top create MPG file instead. You get nothing from keeping them as VOBs except headaches. You lose no quality during this process, and it takes only a few minutes for each set.
