I am unsure of what i should use to play it. I have tried yamp, xbmc and xbmp. I still cant get it to play!!! I don't want to turn it into avis either. Is it possible to play it? Thanks.

I think maybe the prob is that it is PAL. My xbox is PAL though so im not sure what i should change or if i should change anything. When i try to play it it just pauses on the first frame of the vob file. The files are also less than 1gb.

About the best way you can do it is copy it to your PC HDD, re-code it as divx then put it on your xbox HDD and it runs good. But that takes a long time! If you have a dvd recorder on your PC, it is best to use a program like dvd shrink to back them up onto one dvd-r. Then of course you could play this in the xbox...
