    Almost three months ago I switched to Mac. I have a 24" iMac and a Mac Book Pro. I love them! I now feel that I am comfortable with using my MBP in the classroom. I don't have any problems with PowerPoint presentations, but I am having a minor problem playing DVD videos on he MBP.

    I am using a freeware program called VLC and my video occasionally skips. All of my DVD videos are in the .VOB format.

    Question: Is there a better media player available that I can use. I don't mind spending some $.

    Thanks,
    Teacher

    Use DVD Player (in the Applications folder). DVD Player --> File --> Open DVD Media. The .VOB files need to be in a VIDEO_TS folder.

    It works! Thanks
