Actually this works without needing service pack 1. I was able to get it working without having it installed, however it all you are really doing is creating an identical mpeg file of the VOB file.

I hope that someone is working on a hack to allow the .vob files to play on the extenders.

Service Pack 1 is needed for the transcoder.dll to work. The calls that it uses are not in Vista Diamond (Pre SP1).
