| | Re: Video wont play on laptop running vista Did you copy the file from the dvd to your computer? If so, I expect it was a vob file. If not, what sort of file type is it? Which vista version are you using? Not all of them have built in dvd paying capabilities, so you need software to play the dvd mpeg2 vob file, such as powerdvd, windvd, nero etc. -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com "pat" <pat@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B29A5E02-A346-462E-98D0-FA6D7C123543@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a new laptop running Vista to which I copied a video I created on my > XP desktop from a DVD.
