Ripped DVD but can't run
I successfully ripped one movie with DVD shrink. It made the correct Audio
and Video directories. If I burn a DVD with these directories the DVD plays fine. No problems. Dumb question. I want to watch the movie on my PC. How do I start the movie? |

You have to have a program that plays DVD. Then you must have a hardware dvd
player or play it in your dvd burner. DVD's won't play in a cd rom drive or cd burner. Most newer DVD burners will also play them. "Roger Black" wrote in message ...

Ripped DVD but can't run
Sorry. I wasn't clear enough. As i said it 's a dumb question.
Of course I have several programs that play DVD movies (Nero showtime etc) and if i click on any of the VOB files it will play but I don't understand how to get the ENTIRE movie to start and play on my PC. There about 10 VOB files in the Video directory. I do not need to play in my DVD burner. I merely want to run the movie from the HDD Burgy wrote: You have to have a program that plays DVD.

WinDVD has the option to play a DVD from a folder.

Alternatively, you can use Media Player Classic - simply open the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. This will also work with Windows Media Player, though you won't be able to navigate through chapters with the latter. |
