Help guys

First off - I am no techie

I have just had all my cine copied onto DVD

Video_TS folders containing Video_VOB Files

On three of our laptops it plays well.

On the fourth - an Acer5535 identical in all respects to one of the others - we get audio on Windows Media Player but no video - and nothing on any other format

Of course - its my laptop that is playing up - any ideas????

I'm guessing it's because there is a codec missing on that machine - this is an extra bit of code that allows, in this case, WMP to play non-native formats. It's a long time since I've used WMP but I thought it asks whether to search for codecs when required? If not there are free viewers that can be downloaded that will handle vob files, and many others. VLC is one.
