Are you sure that your ".vob" file is *unencrypted*?  If you got it 
directly from a DVD, then it's probably encrypted, and "vobStreamer" won't 
be able to stream it.

Another possibility is that perhaps your network (between the server and 
client) doesn't have enough bandwidth to support the stream.  (Typically, 
10 Mbps Ethernet isn't quite enough.)

Also, make sure that you're using a recent version of VLC.

No, VLC can handle this just fine.  I don't have any trouble playing a 
video+audio stream from "vobStreamer" using VLC.

If you're still having problems, then please put your ".vob" file on a web 
site, and send the URL, and I'll take a look at it.
