I have just bought a Creative Zen and I am trying to find a way of converting VOB's to a format the Zen can play. Anybody have any ideas?

If you want to convert your DVDs to ZEN compatible format, you can use the M2Convert for Zen application.
For more information, please see the following page:

When you convert your DVDs, don't use the VOB files, use the IFO files. Although VOB files are encoded very much like standard MPEG-2 files, they do not contain the entire information needed for decoding it. That's why it's recommended that you use the VIDEO_TS.IFO file when trying to convert a DVD. This file should contain the needed information.

Follow these steps to convert a DVD to ZEN compatible format:
- Insert the DVD into the DVD drive.
- Click Add DVD and select the files in the Add DVD dialog box and click OK.
- Click Edit Playlist to select the Titles/Chapters you want to convert (this button is enabled only when the DVD you are converting has a playlist).
- Set the Compression, Quality and Size, and select the Output Folder.
- Click Convert.
