Plex does not support the use of VOB or VIDEO_TS folders that have VOB files. If you want to play .vob files with Plex, you should convert VOB format to a format compatible with Plex, such as MP4, AVI, MOV, etc. MP4 format is recommended. Some users changed the extension from .vob to .mp4 or .mkv, and it worked with Plex. However, we don't suggest users do so since the way always fails.
