    Hi Guys, Merry Xmas to all!!... sorry, did a search but nothing came up...

    Is there a program that will play VOB files directly from my Mac (MacBook Pro), or do I need to copy the file(s) to a DVD disc?

    The Mac DVD player will play them so long as you keep them within the original folder format such as Video_TS and Audio_TS

    You can pass to VLC the directory, i.e. the Video_TS dir, VLC will do the rest.
