media player will not play vob file

I have family movies saved as vob files on my hard drive. I previously used
media player on an xp computer and they played fine. I recently bought a new
vista computer and copied the vob files to my hard drive. When I try to play
them with Media Player 11, it just shows blank - nothing happens. I tried
adding new codecs but still nothing. If I put a home movie that is on dvd in
the optical drive (contains the same vob file), it will play. How do I get
Media Player to play vob files from my hard drive?
