VOBs contain more than just the mpg, they can also contain subtitles, multiple audio tracks, etc.
If I take a VOB and rename it as .mpg, then that will play fine, but if the file contains subtitles they cannot be displayed as the file is just treated as a straight MPEG (which doesn't contain subtitles).
As I said in my original post, my Showcenter, WinDVD, Cyberlink, etc quite merrily play a VOB without the .IFO or having a DVD folder structure. I just want to know why MP can't (and can someone please make it do it :-) )
It's nice to have a movie with just a single VOB and no horrible wrapping folders or extra files! I really don't won't to waste hard drive space ripping an entire DVD with all the useless extras, audio tracks and foreign subtitles.
