VLC will definitely play DVD / VOB files, either directly from DVDs
themselves, or when "ripped" to hard drive. And it's free, and it's open
source.
And all the codecs are internalised. So don't bother with things like
Windows Media Player, or all the other soft media players - they are the
route to codec hell.
Just bung on VLC, no bloat, fully featured, and none of that messing
around with additional codecs.
