 mplayer plays VOB's just fine as does vlc.

 You may want to reconsider your crossposting.  That is generally frowned
 upon.

 Addressing crossposting: no one lets the user know how others feel about
 it - until someone does it - nor that there is a rule about it; if we don't
 want a user to crosspost - especially a newby - we should make it blatantly
 obvious that we don't like it, much less for a long-term user; it's
 impossible to make something as obvious. Some people read rules as a last
 resort, especially long-time users who least expect a rule-change and are
 unsuspecting of such.


How do you get mplayer to play in X?

I usually open a terminal and type mplayer filename
This works for me.

Erm, still not a QA issue Richard :(

Have you tried finding these answers yourself? A starting point would
be:

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/documentation.html

or perhaps:

You really should take this to the users list.

However, as Scott said

mplayer filename.vob

Or, if you want a full gui experience, install and use smplayer which is a 
frontend to mplayer.

The list Guidelines are available on the admin page, and are cited directly
in the footer of every message on the Users list, though not on this one.
Maybe Yest list members are supposed to be a little more experienced about
these things.

 Why do you think I crossposted in the first place? I haven't a clue which
 is best, so I posted as I did

It's often difficult to figure out when you're new to this.  Don't worry,
in a year or so, you'll flame the ones who make the mistakes.  :)

Ah, Ok, it looks like you have a directory with VOB files in it. That's a
different thing.  

If the directory containing said VIDEO_TS file is called mymovie then, in
the directory where you have the mymovie directory, you would do

mplayer -dvd-device ./mymovie dvd://

See if that works.

(Otherwise, you can use vlc and choose open directory, but I haven't done
that in awhile, so don't remember the details.

What should workand I just tried it

mplayer VIDEO_TS.IFO   The IFO is an info file that tells mplayer what to 
play  Sure, it depends on a valid or well formatted IFO file.  :-)



FWIW.   If one goes to

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test   they would see

This list is for discussion of testing and quality assurance of the Fedora 
Project.

and at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users  they would 
see

This list provides community assistance, encouragement, and advice for Fedora 
users. Topics outside of that are generally not appropriate for this list. 
Please keep in mind that there are many thousands of subscribers and do your 
best to remain on-topic and courteous.

So in my feeble mind it is clear where this question should have been asked.

Ed is correct, this discussion probably only belongs on the user list. (Or
ask Fedora).  Althouh Ed has also given you the answer to the question you
originally asked this particular list is, in theory at least, for
discussion about things in the testing versions of Fedora, as opposed to a
more generic use question.  For example, if it had worked, but now you were
trying Fedora 20 and it had stopped working, it's a more appropriate
question for this list. 

As I said earlier though, when you're new to these things, it's not always
clear where the best place to post is--and one doesn't always know where to
look to find it.  So, in conclusion, I wouldn't worry too much about it,
just do your best to post on the correct list.
