why can't my new laptop with windows 7 open my .vob file from my old windows xp?

Install POWER DVD ..... it plays any DVD or vob file, avi, mpeg, wmv ... all video formats -- and its a lot better than windows crappy media player ....

maybe the win 7 still cant support vob very well, u can try to convert vob to other format, such as mp4. I always use Pavtube DVD Ripper to help me. U can also have a try

You can try some best DVD Ripper Platinum here, they can convert DVD to AVI, DivX, XviD, VCD, WMV, MPEG4 format video files, with almost same quality, but just only 10% size. So you can add DVD Movie to iPod, Zune, Pocket PC or any other MP4 player. Also, you can rip the DVD to the formats for Youtube video such as wmv.

i individually prefer living house windows 7 because of the fact it fairly is greater stable and helps greater spec hardware a number of which won't be able to be run with XP... I on no account had XP boot in decrease than 15 seconds like my living house windows 7 machines. i will run each and all the maximum modern application and video games while not having to be demanding if it fairly is nicely matched with XP.
