Yesterday, I brought a DVD of movies and copied the video files to my Android smartphone. But unfortunately, when I tried to play the movie, it said:
No apps can perform this action!
This is because, in the DVD the video files are in .VOB format and the media player app on an Android phone would not be able to support the .VOB format and that’s why it is causing the problem.
So, I’m just writing this article because I found the solution to this problem and successfully played .VOB video file on my Android phone. So, in the further lines you’ll read – how to easily play .VOB video files in your Android smartphone.

That’s really a great resource I found. It worked for me. Now .VOB files are playing fine in my phone with the help of Wondershare player.
Many thanks Mr. Raman for such a great idea.
Anuj, glad it worked for you. Looking to hear from you in future. Keep reading.
I did the steps mentioned above. But the app still doesn’t play the vib file. And says “wondershare has stopped working” and gives options report / ok.
Have tried re installing the app but same result. Also other file formats are playing fine…
Any Suggestions? ??
If you followed the above steps carefully, the last thing I could say you already did i.e reinstalling the app and try once again.
If that’s still not working, you should try another media player that supports .vob video files such as ArkMC etc.
Thnx. Shall try
ArkMC also does that. As I have used it to sream mkv and VOB files.
Really? Thanks for sharing with us.
That’s really useful! Before reading this post, I just use another player, beta version of vlc for android phone, but it is really unstable. Sometimes, I use the free online video converter to convert vob to android,for smoothly watching, which is helpful but not better convenient than installing player directly, www[dot]apowersoft[dot]com/free-online-video-converter
Now, I would like to try this new recommended one. 🙂
