    you uploaded vob files? Download a dvd ripper. Imtoo dvd ripper is good. Convert the dvd to avi then upload it. Im on me phone so cant check your link but if its a big file try veoh.com

    You dont have to by anything.
    It uses some quicktime codecs.

    As far as i remember, you have to install quicktime (and i think it was an earlier version then the current) and then install 'quicktime alternative' then everything is fine. I use it all the time.
    Did it not ask you to do this on install? I think a dialogue box appears when you try to do it telling you what you nee to do. no purchase neccessary anyway:D

    Yeah you need to buy or get your hands on the mpeg2 codec for quicktime in order to convert the VOB. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/.

    You could try downloading a free program called Super. It converts most video file types. http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html
