SOLVED Movie Player for OSX Catalina

[techbert]

Since I updated OS to Catalina, I cannot play movies that use a "VOB" extension. I've downloaded several player software, but none of them seem to play "VOB" extension files. Any ideas? Help? I reset the embedded dvd player, but it still doesn't play. It loads the dvd file, but then just sits there and doesn't play.

Hello.

-Which version of OS X/macOS did you upgrade from?
-How were the VOB files created?
-Have you tried opening them with VLC media player?
-Do you have any VOB video conversion software?

Thanks for getting back to me. 1. I went from OS X Mojave to Catalina. 2. The VOB files are original to the content that I was trying to view. 3. No I haven't tried VLC media player. 4. No I haven't downloaded any VOB conversion software. At this time the subject is moot in that my Mac suffered a display failure and I have one on order along with, a logic board(going from 2.8 GHz to 3.06 GHz), a used upper and lower case, trackpad, speakers, and lower hinges (on upper case) for the display. I am considering once I have the Mac back together, of revering back to my original OS X El Capitan, and starting the upgrade process over. As I am retired from working in healthcare for45years, I don't have an active need for a Mac so long as my Windows Surface works. It then is something to occupy my time. But thanks for your being on this forum as a person who can give advice.

No worries.

Good luck with the repair/upgrade.
