Downloaded video..now need help playing it please....

[bryback17]

Downloaded a certain "video montage"...i'm a bigtime newbie when it comes to this stuff and I don't even want to burn a DVD..

All I want to be able to do is play it on my PC (windows media, winamp, etc)

There are various .ifo and .vob files....
I was able to get a few of them to play but it looked like a lot of screens spliced together ,etc

Can someone PLEASE help me? Which file do I play and how do I play it?

Thanks!!

also I have appeared to have found the main file I need and play it in VNC..however it has one scene skips to another and then goes back and forth to the original one...as if there are 2 files on top of each other

I use PowerDVD to play on my PC. Just select file on HD > find and select the VIDEO_TS folder and you're set.

There's other free players too... you just need a DVD player since those are DVD files.

You can check the software section of the FAQ and find several programs. The one I always recommend, since I remember the url, is VLC at videolan.org

thanks man..it works but unfortunately maybe the file's screwed up..it keeps hopping back and forth thru diff. scenes etc (see second post)

thanks lynne...as I posted I'm now finally getting it to play!! :)

However it's as if it's playing all of the scenes at once :(

Are you sure you finished your download? If you try to play a file before the download has finished, it will be all wonky.

[feralicious]

Yep, sounds like your download didn't finish.

Wonky. Is that a technical term?

I don't know. I saw it used somewhere right before I replied to this thread and it seemed to fit. :D
