Noob assistance needed

Just downloaded my first DVD files (VTS_TS)

Files are showing as un-readable by my laptop. I have all the usual software for video playback, just not sure what I need to download so they will play or burn.

Any suggestions is much appreciated.

You need to have software specific for playing DVDs, not just playing video. VLC by videolan.org is a nice player.

Re: Noob assistance needed

And if you don't have access to VLC (no internet connection for example), the Windows media player will in most cases play VOB-files, if you're using Windows 2000 or higher. Only drawback could be that you have to start each VOB-file manually, as the player might not recognize the whole VIDEO_TS folder.

In VLC go to File, then Open Directory and make it open the Video_TS folder.

OK cool, got the VLC media player and the files now play. As far as burning to DVD do I drop the whole Video_TS file into sonic or the individual files?

Thanks for all your help!

OK think I got it.

How many different types of files can be burned to a DVD disc?

Onto a Data-DVD: everything
Onto a Video-DVD: VOBs, IFOs and BUPs into the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. You can add other files into an EXTRAS_TS folder if you like, but then you can access these files with your PC only, standalones will not play them.

Re: still confused about converting/watching phish dvd???

No, you don't need to convert anything. With Nero, select "Video-DVD" as type of project, then drag all files from the downloaded VIDEO_TS folder into the VIDEO_TS folder of your disk. Burn and watch.

On your PC you can play the DVD video files with either a DVD software player or Windows Media Player (in most cases). VLC is a superb prog, I'd suggest getting it. It plays DVDs as well as nearly every other video format around. And it's totally free.

My burning software (ONES) will not recognize the TS folder as containing any DVD files? But they play fine on my computer. Any ideas?
