video codecs needed!

hello...

 

so i've been trying to play these extracted dvd files i extracted using dvd decrypted a while back but i had to format my hard drive and start from scratch (because i upgraded to vista)

 

i saved the files and have them on my pc but i can't play them because i think i'm in need of some video codecs...the problem is...i don't know how to look for them.

 

i have powerdvd as my dvd/blu ray disc player but i cant seem to be able and play those files with that program...neither with windows media player.

 

the files do end with a .VOB (if that helps in any way)

 

i appreciate the help from anyone in advanced! thanks!

    Windows Media Player lacks a lot of codecs unfortunately. 

    I use the k-lite codec pack.

    I haven't found a type of video file it can't open yet. You can download it from here:

    Another thing to try is download the free version of realplayer from here:

    Hope this helps.

    Although the solution below probably would work I wouldn't recommend it since K-lite codec pack installs alot of lousy codecs that will just slow things down. Instead I would recommend downloading VLC Media Player or Media Player Classic. You can get links finding google.com, there's alot of mirrors out there.

     

    Best of luck,
